-Eat small, frequent meals. Chew slowly and eat gently. Avoid fatty, spicy, citrus, tomato, chocolate, coffee, alcohol, carbonated drinks. Stay upright 2–3 hours after eating; gentle walk helps. Elevate head of bed while sleeping. Avoid tight waist clothing. -Triphala –1 tsp with warm water at night Ajwain – ½ tsp with rock salt after meals Fennel (Saunf) – chew 1 tsp after meals
