Hello from Vishnu: My Story with Acidity
Hi, I’m Vishnu – I started TheVedaHeals. I know about bad acidity, gas, and stomach problems. I had them for many years. I tried everything: normal medicines, stomach pills (antacids), and home fixes. But nothing worked for a long time.
I was tired. So, I read many books, listened to people talk, and searched online. Then, I found strong, natural healing ways in Ayurveda and a simple (Satvic) lifestyle.
Today, I want to tell you exactly what helped me. So you can heal your body naturally, without bad medicines. Let’s start now!
Why Ignoring Acidity and Gas Is Dangerous
Acidity can feel like a small problem – sometimes heartburn, sour burps, or a bloated stomach. But if you don’t fix it, it can lead to bigger health problems like:
- Stomach holes (ulcers)
- Bad stomach pain (IBS)
- Damage to your food pipe
- Even higher risk of cancer or heart problems
But good news! If you know why it happens, you can fix these problems forever.
Why Acidity Happens (The Main Reason)
When we eat, our stomach makes acid to break down food. But:
- Mixing wrong foods
- Bad eating habits
- Spicy, oily foods
- Stress (worry)
- Not moving your body enough
…all these make your stomach make too much acid. After some time, this makes your stomach weak (called Jatharagni in Ayurveda, your digestion fire). And that’s when gas, acidity, and acid coming up start.
3 Big Mistakes That Cause Acidity & Gas
1. Drinking Water With Meals
Your stomach uses strong fire to break down food. Drinking water with or after meals puts out this fire. This makes digestion weak.
Fix:
- Don’t drink water when you eat.
- If you are very thirsty, take only 1-2 small sips.
- Drink a full glass of water 1 hour before or 2 hours after you eat.
- Eat less salt, spice, and oily food. Then you won’t be too thirsty during meals.
2. Eating Wrong Food Pairs (2 Grains Together)
Most people eat things like:
- Dal + Rice
- Roti + Dal
- Rajma + Rice
It Was perfect combination for people who actively moving and doing hard work.
But for how we live today (sitting more), these are very heavy food pairs.
Fix:
- Eat more vegetables with grains.
- For every 1 bowl of rice/roti, eat 3 bowls of vegetables.
- Choose light meals instead of oily, spicy food.
3. Eating Fruits After Meals
Fruits digest fast. Grains digest slowly. Eating fruits after grains traps the fruits inside. This makes them rot (ferment) → causing gas and acidity.
Fix:
- Eat fruits when your stomach is empty. Or at least 2 hours before or after meals.
Ayurveda’s Natural Fixes for Quick Help
1. Cold Milk (Natural Stomach Pill)
- Drink cold milk when acidity starts.
- It gives quick cool comfort.
- But it’s for now, not a full fix.
2. Aloe Vera Juice
- Drink 30 ml Aloe Vera juice (with pulp) every morning when your stomach is empty.
- It makes stomach acid normal.
- It reduces swelling inside.
- Studies show it works better than some medicines.
3. Licorice (Mulethi) Milk
How to make:
- 250 ml milk + 100 ml water + a small mulethi stick.
- Boil until water is gone.
- Strain and drink at normal warm (room) temperature before sleep.
What it does:
- Helps heartburn.
- Fixes stomach lining.
