Kamdudha Ras Dose

Question

For years now, I’ve been dealing with severe acidity and heartburn issues. It usually starts in the evening and gets worse after dinner, especially if I’ve had anything even slightly spicy. Lately, the burning sensation has also started affecting my throat, and it feels like my chest is on fire. Someone suggested I try Kamdudha Ras because it helps balance pitta and reduce acidity, but I don’t know much about it or the correct Kamdudha Ras dose.

From what I’ve read, Kamdudha Ras is used to treat issues like mine, but I’m not sure if it’s safe for daily use. Should I take it on an empty stomach, or is it better after meals? Also, how long can I use Kamdudha Ras without worrying about side effects?

For those who’ve used it, how effective is it? Did you notice immediate relief, or does it take time to work? I’ve already cut down on spicy foods and caffeine, but I still struggle with this burning feeling. Is there anything else in Ayurveda, like herbal teas or dietary changes, that works well with Kamdudha Ras?
