  • Having food of opposite qualities like milk with salty food etc.
  • Due to excessive stress which can hamper the metabolism.
  • Prolonged use of medication.

HOW DOES HYPERACIDITY OCCUR?

Due to excess acid secretion there will be eroding of the lining of stomach wall that protects the muscles of the stomach from coming in contact with these acids, but due to the erosion the muscle gets exposed to the acids and then causes burning sensation. This condition is called as Amlapitta.

 According to Ayurveda, due to the above causative factors the pitta dosha gets vitiated and it is converted to sour property and then sour belching are observed.
