Acidity Treatment

Image

Ayurveda offers a holistic and natural approach to managing acidity (known as Amlapitta) by correcting digestive imbalances, calming aggravated doshas, detoxifying the system, and adopting proper dietary and lifestyle practices. Unlike temporary relief methods, Ayurveda focuses on addressing the root cause of acidity, improving digestion, and preventing recurrence. However, it is important to note that severe or chronic acidity conditions should always be managed alongside conventional medical guidance.

Detox therapies help remove accumulated toxins (ama) and excess acid from the digestive tract.
