dugdha vati - #7296

For the past few weeks, I’ve been experiencing recurring acidity and a burning sensation in my stomach that just doesn’t seem to go away. It started off as occasional discomfort after meals, but now it’s happening almost every day. I also wake up with a sour taste in my mouth and bloating, especially after eating spicy or fried foods. I’ve tried over-the-counter antacids, but they only give me temporary relief, and I don’t want to rely on them long-term. While looking for natural remedies, I came across something called dugdha vati. It’s supposed to be an Ayurvedic medicine that helps with acidity, indigestion, and balancing stomach issues. I’m curious to know more about how dugdha vati works and if it’s effective for someone like me who has been struggling with chronic acidity. From what I read, dugdha vati is made from ingredients that are cooling and soothing to the stomach. Is that correct? Does dugdha vati actually reduce acid formation or just provide temporary relief like regular antacids? I’ve also read that dugdha vati can help balance Pitta dosha, which is connected to excess heat and acidity in Ayurveda. Does it really help with reducing that imbalance over time? Another question I have is about the safety of dugdha vati. Are there any side effects to taking dugdha vati regularly? I want to make sure it’s safe for long-term use, especially since I’ve had a sensitive stomach for a while now. How long would it take to see noticeable relief, and what is the right dosage for someone with frequent acidity? Diet is probably part of the issue for me. I eat a lot of spicy food, drink coffee twice a day, and sometimes skip meals because of my work schedule. I’m wondering if dugdha vati works better if I make certain diet changes as well. Does Ayurveda recommend avoiding specific foods or adding cooling foods while taking dugdha vati to see better results? Lastly, where can I find authentic dugdha vati? There seem to be a lot of brands online, and I want to make sure I’m buying the right product. Is there a particular brand or preparation of dugdha vati that’s more effective? If anyone has experience using dugdha vati for acidity, I’d love to hear how well it worked and how long it took to feel better. Did you combine it with any other Ayurvedic treatments or lifestyle changes? I’m hoping to find a more natural and lasting solution for my stomach problems instead of relying on allopathic medicines forever.
