Hyperacidity is excessive stomach acid causing burning, sour belching, and discomfort, often triggered by spicy food, irregular meals, stress, and stimulants.
Understanding Hyperacidity
What Is Hyperacidity?
Ayurveda calls it Amlapitta, an aggravation of Pitta in the digestive tract, and treats it by cooling, pacifying measures.

The Ayurvedic View of Hyperacidity
Ayurvedic Understanding
Aggravated Pitta overheats digestion, producing excess acid. Treatment cools the system with sweet, bitter, and astringent tastes, regular meal times, and emotional calm.
Avoiding incompatible combinations and stimulants is as important as any remedy.
