If you're fed up with the constant misery of acid reflux – the burning, the regurgitation, the sleepless nights – it's time to take charge of your digestive health. Acid reflux, a condition in which stomach acid sneaks back into the esophagus, causing discomfort and irritation.

Acid reflux in Ayurveda is considered an imbalance in the body's digestive system. If the stomach's digestive fire, or "Agni," is disturbed or weakened, it may result in improper digestion and produce acid reflux. Ayurveda concentrates on returning the body to its natural balance by using herbal remedies, diet changes, lifestyle modification, and stress management to ease the situation as naturally as possible.

Early Symptoms of Acid Reflux

In order to effectively control acid reflux, it is important to detect the initial signs. These are:

• Heartburn: A burning sensation in the chest, which occurs after meals, is the most commonly experienced sign of acid reflux.
  Regurgitation: A sensation of food or acid getting accumulated in the throat or mouth, causing sour or bitter taste.
  Difficulty in swallowing: You might experience food being stuck in your throat or chest.
  Chest pain: Heaviness or chest pain is another common sign.
  Sore throat or hoarseness: Reflux of acid can inflame the throat, causing a scratchy or sore throat and an alteration in your voice, especially in the morning.
  Chronic wheezing or cough: The acid from the reflux can irritate the airways, leading to chronic coughing or shortness of breath, particularly when lying down or during nighttime.
• A feeling of floating: Is your stomach full or swollen, especially after eating? This is a common indicator of acid reflux.
