Acidity In Ayurveda - #6866
For the last few years, I’ve been struggling with constant heartburn and acid reflux. My doctor says it’s GERD, but the medications I’m taking only give temporary relief. I recently came across the concept of acidity in Ayurveda and wanted to explore natural treatments for this. My symptoms include burning in the chest, burping, and sometimes a sour taste in my mouth, especially after spicy or heavy meals. Does this align with how acidity in Ayurveda is understood? What could be causing this imbalance in my body? I have a bad habit of skipping meals and eating late at night. Could this be worsening my acidity? Does acidity in Ayurveda recommend specific meal timings to prevent such issues? I’ve read that herbs like Amla, Licorice, and Shatavari are helpful for managing acidity in Ayurveda. Are these enough to control my symptoms, or should I consider other therapies like Abhyanga or Shirodhara? Lastly, are there specific foods I should avoid completely to manage acidity in Ayurveda? I love tea and coffee, but I heard they might be making things worse. Is it true? What alternatives would Ayurveda suggest? How long does it take to see improvements with Ayurvedic treatments for acidity? Should I focus on herbal remedies first, or consult a doctor for a personalized plan?
