Hyperacidity has plagued our modern generation for many years now, in this article we shed some light on the disease itself, its causes, symptoms and what Ayurveda suggests about this problem. First let’s understand what hyperacidity actually is.
Hyperacidity is seen in all ages, all classes, and all communities. Hyperacidity refers to a set of symptoms caused by an imbalance between the acid secreting mechanism of the stomach and proximal intestine and the protective mechanisms that ensure their safety.

When there is an excessive amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach, it results in the condition known as Hyperacidity.
