Acidity—often presenting as burning sensations, acid-reflux, or discomfort after meals—and GERD (acid reflux from stomach into the esophagus) affect many individuals, particularly in a high-stress urban setting. At Ayulife, our approach is to offer sustainable relief and restore digestive health.
From an Ayurvedic viewpoint, the digestive fire or Jātharagni plays a central role in metabolism, digestion, assimilation and elimination. When this fire becomes disturbed—especially by an excess of the Pitta dosha—acid production may increase, resulting in what Ayurveda describes as Amla Pitta.
In the case of GERD, the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) fails to properly prevent gastric contents from flowing back into the oesophagus—hence the term “gastro-esophageal reflux”.
Key factors include:
Living in a fast-paced city like Gurgaon can foster conditions that precipitate acidity/GERD:
These habits undermine the digestive fire and create a favorable environment for reflux and acid imbalance.
All therapies are done under doctor supervision.
Ayurveda identifies four states of Agni:
| Type of Agni | Dominant Dosha | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|
| Manda Agni | Kapha | Slow digestion, heaviness, lethargy |
| Vishama Agni | Vata | Gas, irregular appetite, alternating constipation |
| Tikshna Agni | Pitta | Excess hunger, acidity |
| Sama Agni | Balanced | Ideal digestion and metabolism |
Acidity usually results from Teekshna Agni that is result of an excessively strong or overactive digestive fire. When Agni becomes too sharp, it digests food very quickly but also produces excess heat and acid in the stomach. This leads to:
People with Teekshna Agni benefit from cooling, soothing foods and avoiding spicy, oily, and acidic items to keep digestion balanced.
