Ayurvedic Concept
Acidity is described as “Amla Pitta” in Ayurveda and, commonly, it occurs due to faulty eating habits because the pitta (fire) gets vitiated. This vitiation produces symptoms like indigestion, tiredness, nausea, acidic belching, heaviness in body, heartburn, anorexia, laziness and burning sensations.
Acidity ("Amla pitta") is of two types:
1. Urdhva Amla Pitta (fire) (Acidity in upper abdomen)
Kapha (water) associated with ama (undigested food) is the main cause in this type. One may have vomiting of greenish yellow color and acidic in taste, belching of the taste of food taken, heart burning, burning sensation in soles and feet, anorexia, fever, skin rashes and itching may occur.
2. Adhog Amla Pitta (fire) (Acidity or burning in lower abdomen)
Pitta (fire) associated with ama (undigested food) is the main dosha (humor) in this case. One may have burning sensation during defecation, thirst, vertigo, passing slur (unformed stool) of greenish or blackish color, nausea, urticaria, indigestion, sweating and yellowish color of the body.
