Medically known as Acid Dyspepsia, Hyperacidity is one of the common ailments seen in people mainly from the cities and metros. Acid Dyspepsia is a combination of two words “acid” and “dyspepsia” which together means disturbance in the digestion process due to acid. It is a medical condition in which there is an excess release of hydrochloric (HCl) acid in the stomach. In the human body, the stomach muscles are covered with a regenerative lining which prevents the stomach muscles from coming in contact with the digestive acids. But as the level of these acids increases in the stomach, due to various reasons like improper eating habits and various illnesses, this protective lining gets eroded faster, resulting in the contact of our stomach muscles with these acids and hence causing a sensation of burning called “Hyperacidity”.

Hyper Acidity Causes:

Hyper Acidity Ayurvedic Treatment:

Hyper acidity is known as Amlapitta in Ayurveda (Amla means sour and Pitta means heat). Therefore, it is a condition characterized by an increase of sourness and heat in the body. AyurvedGuru recommends both ayurvedic therapies and supplements that pacify the aggravated pitta and ama(a toxic by-product of improper digestion) accumulated in the body’s digestive channels. The supplements stimulate the stomach to produce more mucous (which gets thinner due to hyperacidity), absorb the excess acid produced, thereby reducing the symptoms of acidity. These provide instant relief from the burning sensation one feels during acid reflux Also, these supplements enhance the production of saliva which helps in better digestion, improves metabolism, relieves gas and other gastric troubles.
