GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a chronic digestive disorder linked to excessive acid reflux. In Ayurveda, it is correlated with Amlapitta, caused by an aggravated Pitta dosha, sometimes influenced by Vata and Kapha imbalances due to improper diet, stress, and lifestyle disturbances.
At Anammyaa Wellness, with 25 years of expertise in Ayurveda, we offer a comprehensive treatment plan for GERD that includes diet, herbal remedies, and Panchakarma therapies to provide long-term relief and restore digestive balance.
Ayurvedic Understanding of GERD (Amlapitta)
Dosha Imbalance Leading to GERD
GERD primarily occurs due to Pitta dosha aggravation, but Vata and Kapha can also contribute:
Pitta Aggravation (Main Cause)
- Excessive consumption of spicy, oily, and acidic foods
- Overuse of tea, coffee, alcohol, and fermented foods
- High stress, anger, and irregular eating habits
- Excessive heat exposure
Vata Aggravation (Secondary Cause)
- Irregular meal timings, excessive fasting, skipping meals
- Overthinking, stress, anxiety, and improper sleep
- Eating dry or processed foods frequently
Kapha Aggravation (Rare but Possible)
- Overeating heavy, sweet, or dairy-based foods
- Sedentary lifestyle leading to slow digestion
- Sleeping immediately after eating
