From an Ayurvedic perspective, your symptoms suggest Pitta aggravation with impaired Agni (digestive fire) leading to acid reflux. —Diagnosis: Amlapitta (Pitta Vriddhi / Acid Reflux) —Rx: 1) Aimil Zymnet Syrup 2 tsp thrice daily after meals → Amapachak, improves digestion, relieves gas & acidity 2) Amrygel Tablets 1–2 tablets twice daily after food → Controls hyperacidity, heartburn, reflux symptoms 3) Sutshekhar Ras 1 tablet twice daily after meals with honey or lukewarm water → Pitta shamak, useful in Amlapitta and gastritis 4) Triphala Tablets 1 tablets at bedtime with lukewarm water → Improves bowel clearance, supports gut detox, reduces ama accumulation ----Pathya (Diet & Lifestyle): Pitta-pacifying diet (avoid spicy, sour, fried foods) Light and early dinner No lying down for 2–3 hours after meals Lukewarm water preferred Adequate sleep and stress control ---- for 15 days
severe acid reflux is “Amlapitta” caused by aggravated Pitta + weak Agni. Since you have daily symptoms with difficulty swallowing, treatment should be cooling, protective, and digestive-correcting. Reduce acidity & burning: Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water Kamdudha Ras (Moti yukta) – soothes acid & lining Heal stomach mucosa: Yashtimadhu (Licorice) powder with honey or water Balance Pitta: Shatavari or Amla preparations Diet (most important): Prefer cooling, soft foods → rice, moong dal, ghee, coconut water Avoid spicy, sour, fried, tea/coffee, late-night meals Take small frequent meals, don’t overeat Lifestyle: Do not lie down immediately after meal (wait 2–3 hours) Elevate head while sleeping Manage stress (Pitta trigger)
