What do you mean by Acidity?

Acidity: Normally stomach produces gastric juices (Pepsin and hydrochloric acid) for normal functioning of the digestive system. Excessive production of these gastric juices will lead to a condition called acidity. It is also called GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease).

According to Ayurveda, it is known as “Amlapitta”. It consists of two words Amla+Pitta. Amla means sour and Pitta means dosha. This disease occurs due to the aggravation of pitta dosha.

• Intake of spicy, salty, sour and non-vegetarian food.
• Smoking and alcohol.
• Medication like non-steroidal and non-inflammatory drugs.
