Hyperacidity
Hyperacidity, also known as acid dyspepsia, is a common digestive issue caused by an excess of acid in the stomach. It can lead to discomfort, pain, and long-term complications if not treated properly. At Agni Ayurvedic Village, we provide holistic and personalized Ayurvedic solutions to effectively manage and treat hyperacidity from its root.

Hyperacidity may be triggered by a variety of lifestyle and dietary habits. Common causes include:

- High intake of tea, coffee, carbonated drinks, or alcohol
- Stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep
- Smoking
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Prolonged use of painkillers or anti-inflammatory drugs
- Underlying conditions like gastritis or peptic ulcers
Symptoms

- Sour belching or regurgitation of food
- Nausea and bloating
- Pain in the upper abdomen
- Loss of appetite
- A bitter taste in the mouth
- Constipation or indigestion
Ayurvedic Perspective on Hyperacidity
In Ayurveda, hyperacidity is often correlated with Amlapitta, a condition arising due to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha. Pitta, responsible for digestion and metabolism, becomes aggravated due to improper diet and lifestyle. This leads to the accumulation of sour, acidic substances in the stomach, resulting in discomfort and inflammation.
Ayurveda focuses on addressing the root cause, balancing doshas, strengthening digestive fire (Agni), and detoxifying the body to provide lasting relief.
