Acidity or Acid reflux
Acidity or acid reflux is a common condition that occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing a burning sensation in the chest and throat. In Ayurveda, this condition is known as Amlapitta.
Remedies
To help alleviate your symptoms, here are some remedies:
Modify your diet
Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods, as well as caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated drinks. Instead, consume foods that are easy to digest, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Eat smaller meals
Instead of having three large meals a day, try having smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. This will help to reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces.
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of water and fluids to help flush out toxins and reduce acidity.
Herbal remedies
You can also use herbs like cumin, coriander, fennel, and ginger to reduce acidity. You can add these herbs to your food or drink them as a tea.
Practice yoga and meditation
Stress can also cause acidity, so it's essential to manage stress levels. Practicing yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises can help to reduce stress and promote relaxation.
