Ayurvedic Treatment for GERD
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is the chronic backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus, causing heartburn (a burning chest sensation), regurgitation, and indigestion. In Bangalore’s busy lifestyle, frequent spicy or heavy meals can trigger GERD. People experiencing regular acid reflux (more than twice a week) should consider Ayurvedic treatment for GERD .
Yuvrit Ayurveda’s holistic methods aim to soothe the stomach and heal the gut lining naturally, addressing both symptoms and lifestyle factors.

Ayurvedic Perspective
Ayurveda calls chronic hyperacidity Amlapitta, which literally means “pitta in excess”.
Pitta dosha governs digestion and metabolism, so when Pitta is aggravated (often by spicy, oily or acidic foods), the result is excess stomach heat and acid. Depending on constitution, Vata or Kapha imbalances may contribute (e.g. Vata can cause erratic peristalsis, Kapha can cause sluggish digestion). The underlying focus is on Pacifying Pitta and restoring digestive fire (Agni).
When Pitta is balanced, acid levels normalize and GERD symptoms subside.
Causes according to Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda the aggravation of GERD often stems from:
.
- Dietary Factors: Overeating, especially of spicy, oily, sour or fried foods, overly late meals, or drinking tea/coffee on an empty stomach aggravate Pitta.
- Lifestyle Habits: Irregular eating times, stress, excessive daytime sleep, or alcohol can disrupt Agni and increase reflux.
- Environmental/Seasonal: Hot, humid weather or seasonal changes can further inflame Pitta.
- Other Triggers: Obesity and tight clothing increase abdominal pressure, pushing acid upward. Ayurveda prescribes “cooling” habits to mitigate these causes.
Ayurvedic management focuses on restoring balance by pacifying aggravated doshas, particularly Pitta, and realigning the digestive system. This holistic approach includes:

Conventional vs Ayurveda Perspective
Conventional Perspective
Ayurveda Perspective
What & Why
- Excess stomach acid creation and weak esophageal sphincter muscles
- Caused due to eating spicy and oily food
- Aggravation of primarily pitta dosha which interferes with functions resulting in varying complications based on individual body type including excess stomach acid creation or weak esophageal sphincter muscles
- Various dietary, lifestyles and environmental triggers can aggravate pitta depending on individual body type including eating spicy and oily foods.
Ayurveda Perspective
How
- Reduce stomach acid production
- Long term dependency on acid blocking drugs
- Correct the root imbalances i.e. aggravated pitta which also helps relieve the symptoms
- Address root causes directly which heals the system allowing proper bodily functions without depending on medicines in the long run.
When to consult doctor
Occasional heartburn is common, but see a doctor if you experience it more than twice weekly or if symptoms (like difficulty swallowing or chest pain) persist. Also consult if acid reflux is accompanied by weight loss or anemia.
Ayurvedic practitioners can be consulted especially when you seek natural remedies for GERD, such as herbs or Panchakarma, instead of lifelong medications.
Timely Ayurvedic intervention can heal the gut lining and potentially reduce the need for long-term acid blockers.
