Agni Acid - #5073
I’ve been dealing with persistent acidity and digestive discomfort, and I came across the term agni acid while reading about Ayurveda. From what I understand, agni acid refers to an imbalance in the digestive fire that leads to problems like acid reflux, bloating, and a burning sensation in the stomach. Is that correct? How does Ayurveda approach treating agni acid, and what are the common remedies? My symptoms seem to get worse after eating spicy or oily foods, but even simple meals can leave me feeling uncomfortable. Could this mean that my agni acid is too high or too weak? I’ve also noticed that stress makes it worse—does stress directly affect agni acid, or is that just a coincidence? Are there specific foods or herbs that can help balance agni acid? I’ve heard about things like fennel seeds, ginger, and licorice in Ayurveda, but I’m not sure which ones are best for this condition. Also, are there lifestyle changes that might help, like meal timings or sleeping positions? I don’t want to rely on antacids forever, so I’m hoping Ayurveda can offer a more natural and sustainable solution. If anyone has struggled with agni acid and found effective remedies, I’d love to hear what worked for you. How long does it usually take to see improvement when following Ayurvedic advice for agni acid?
