Summer Acidity: Beat the Burn! Tips for a Calm Stomach

• Summer heat often causes stomach burning, headaches, and dizziness due to increased acid and pitta.
• Symptoms of increased pitta include heartburn, sour burps, heavy head, and burning eyes.
• Ayurveda recommends Shatavari, conch shell ash, and licorice to cool the stomach and balance pitta.
• Avoid late-night meals, spicy/fried foods, excessive tea/coffee, stress, and prolonged fasting to prevent acidity.
• Eat light, cooling foods like porridge, have early dinner, and walk after meals for better digestion.
