NATURAL TREATMENT OF ACIDITY

ABOUT ACIDITY

According to Ayurveda acidity is known as Amlapitta which is one of the most common symptom (disease) seen and faced by people in the society. In acidity, pitta dosha is much more involved in comparison to vata & kapha dosha.

Acidity comes under Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD). This problem or a disease happens when acid in the stomach regularly flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (oesophagus). People suffering from acidity experiences acidic reflux.

Acidity commonly results to heartburn. Hydrochloric acid is present in the stomach which helps in the efficient digestion of food and protect the growth of unwanted bacteria. So when there is an excessive production of this acid leads to the disturbance in the gastric glands of stomach.

Due to over secretion of gastric juices, there is the disruption in the lining of the upper part of small intestine. In some cases, ulcers can be the cause of cancer.

Dyspepsia is the narrowing of the esophagus which creates the sensation of food being stuck in the throat. It occurs after taking meals and is brought by excess abdominal pressure. In acidity one has to face burning sensation in the chest, burping and sometimes leads to chest pain.

• In Biopsy there is the removal of small piece from the lining of esophagus for diagnosis purpose. This procedure is done to identify any underlying cancer.
• Esophageal manometry is also done to diagnose acid reflux. In this case, narrow tube is inserted into the stomach through esophagus to check out the proper functioning of esophagus.

CAUSES OF ACIDITY - ACCORDING TO AYURVEDA

Acidity in Ayurveda is the production of Ama (toxin) in the body which results in the sourness and heat in body. In Ayurveda cause of acidity is due to pitta dosha.
