I have had acidity for many years – burning in the chest and stomach, sometimes headache and nausea. Please suggest an effective remedy. The problem is 12 years old; how long will it take to cure permanently? Ayurvedic medicines are getting expensive, so please suggest medicines that can be made at home, and also Panchakarma treatment. (Male, 42, Surat)
Hello
Have a Healthy Day !!
Welcome to the world of health from Ayurveda conducted by Dr. Nikul Patel.
The main causes of acidity are bad food habits – too much spicy, fried, masala-rich and stale food, market snacks and so on – as well as anger, worry and staying awake late at night.
For a permanent solution you must first cut down on these; only then can it be controlled.
As for ready-made medicines from the market, taking the following regularly for 6 to 12 months can cure it:
- Avipattikar churna 1 teaspoon three times a day
- Amlapitta-har tablet 2 tablets twice a day
- Praval panchamrut tablet (with mukta) 1 tablet morning and evening
- Audumbaravaleha 2 teaspoons three times a day
- Pathyadi ghanvati 2 tablets three times a day
(Take medicines from a trustworthy pharmacy that makes good-quality medicines. From our Atharva clinic we give only medicines we make ourselves – you can also get them by courier.)
You feel Ayurvedic medicines are getting more expensive day by day. But we never think about the price of allopathic medicines – from tablets of Rs 35–40 to injections of Rs 5,000 or 25,000, and costly reports. In most diseases Ayurveda can cure within the cost of the reports done just for diagnosis. We have always held the mindset that Ayurveda means free, which is why it feels this way – but today even buttermilk is not free.
Even so, treatment at government Ayurveda hospitals is completely free. (Medicines prescribed there to be bought from outside may be expensive – it is fine if you do not take those.)
As home remedies:
- Buy Shatavari churna from the market, boil it in milk, add sugar candy (sakar) and drink it morning and evening.
- Soak dry black raisins with fennel (variyali) in water and take them regularly.
- Take more milk and especially petha (ash-gourd sweet).
If the trouble is more, you can get quick relief with Panchakarma at a good nearby centre:
- Virechana karma
- Shirodhara
- Nasya karma
At such a time, stay away from negative thoughts and always think positively.
If you go for a walk every morning and practise yoga, pranayama and meditation, you will benefit faster.
Yogasanas:
- Paschimottanasana
- Chakrasana
- Pavanamuktasana
- Pranayama
