Hyperacidity

Hyperacidity (Amlapitta) is one of the most common disease seen in the society. It is seen in all ages, all classes, and all community. Hyperacidity refers to a set of symptoms caused by an imbalance between the acid secreting mechanism of the stomach and proximal intestine and the protective mechanisms that ensure their safety. The stomach normally secretes acid that is essential in the digestive process. When there is excess production of acid in the stomach, it results in the condition known as acidity.

In Ayurveda, Hyperacidity is known as Amlapitta, as by its name, amla means the sour taste and pitta means the imbalance of the pitta dosha that has caused this disease. Individuals with pitta constitution often suffer from acidity, hyperacidity or heartburn. According to Ayurveda things that aggravate Pitta dosha are anger, spicy food, excessive smoking and alcohol, heated environment, etc. that can cause imbalance in pitta, leading to hyperacidity.
