Amlapitta Chikitsa - #4735
For the last few months, I’ve been struggling with severe acidity, burning in my chest, and a sour taste in my mouth. My doctor said it’s hyperacidity, but I prefer natural treatments. While researching alternatives, I came across Amlapitta Chikitsa in Ayurveda, which focuses on treating hyperacidity and related issues. I’d like to know how effective Amlapitta Chikitsa is for my condition and what it involves. From what I’ve read, Amlapitta Chikitsa involves balancing Pitta dosha, which is often responsible for excessive heat and acid in the stomach. Are there specific herbs or formulations used in Amlapitta Chikitsa that work best for quick relief? I’ve seen mentions of ingredients like Shatavari and Yashtimadhu – are these part of Amlapitta Chikitsa, and how do they help? Another thing I’m curious about is the role of diet in Amlapitta Chikitsa. Should I avoid spicy and oily foods completely? Are there specific foods or drinks, like buttermilk or coconut water, that are recommended during Amlapitta Chikitsa? Also, does Amlapitta Chikitsa include detox therapies like Virechana, or is it more about medicines and lifestyle changes? If anyone has undergone Amlapitta Chikitsa, did it provide lasting relief from acidity? How long did it take to notice improvements? Lastly, should I consult an Ayurvedic doctor for a personalized plan, or can I start with general remedies for Amlapitta Chikitsa on my own?
