cold - VATA & acidity

[Guest guest]

Dear Kannan,

Yes a Vata type person can take "chilled milk with banana powder" if

it is meant to supress pitta. How far it will help in reducing acidity

is doubtful. If your doctor is sure that the acidity is because of

excessive pitta than it will help you. If however it is because of

vitiated pitta it might lead to more vitiation. You need to take pitta

correcting substances like vasa (adulsa), liquorice etc. Another

reason for acidity can be aggravated vata also. In such condition your

position will worsen with the above said remedy. It might seem funny

but drinking plain warm water (it should be warm while drinking)will

help you in getting rid of the acidity. If you are right in your

diagnosis of being a vata type person the third condition is most

likely the cause of your acidity. Hence do consult your doctor again

and take the right decision.

Dear Sir,

Even drinking warm or cold water give problems like gas formation

etc. Is their any other remedy for Vata created acidity.
