Top 5 Ayurvedic Remedies for Heartburn Relief
Updated: Oct 10
Heartburn can be a cause of significant discomfort, affecting many individuals. While modern medicine offers solutions, Ayurveda provides natural approaches that may bring you natural relief from heartburn by treating the root causes. Embracing these Ayurvedic tips may not only alleviate your symptoms but also promotes overall well-being. Let's explore some Ayurveda remedies tailored to soothe heartburn and support digestive health.
1. Mindful Eating Habits
In Ayurveda, the concept of mindful eating is paramount. By being present during meals, avoiding distractions, and chewing food slowly, you allow your digestive system to function optimally. This practice helps prevent overeating, indigestion, and subsequently, heartburn. Practicing mindful eating can be a simple yet powerful step towards reducing acidity and promoting better digestion. Digestion begins in the mind. Reduce ama (toxins) and balance your agni (digestive fire) by eating according to your dosha.
2. Herbal Infusions
Herbal teas have long been utilized in Ayurvedic practices for their therapeutic properties. Incorporating herbs like licorice, peppermint, or chamomile into your daily routine can help calm the stomach, reduce acid reflux, and alleviate heartburn symptoms. Sipping on these soothing brews after meals or between meals can aid in digestion and provide relief from discomfort.
Which herbs are balancing depends on a complete doshic assessment, seek guidance with an experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner.
3. Gentle Yoga Asanas
Certain yoga postures are known to aid in digestion and alleviate heartburn. Practices such as the Cat-Cow pose, Seated Forward Bend (Paschimottanasana), or the Bridge pose (Setu Bandhasana) can help stimulate the digestive organs, regulate acidity, and promote overall gut health. Including these gentle asanas in your daily morning and evening routines can be a holistic approach to managing heartburn by pacifying Vata and Pitta doshas.

4. Ayurvedic Remedies
Ayurveda offers a treasure trove of natural remedies to address heartburn. Consuming a mixture of aloe vera juice and lukewarm water, incorporating a pinch of cardamom or fennel seeds after meals, or consuming a teaspoon of ghee to coat the stomach lining are some time-tested Ayurvedic remedies. These simple yet effective solutions can provide relief from acid reflux and acidity.
Please note: Saumya Ayurveda does not recommend using herbs as if they were over the counter or prescribed pharmaceuticals. An experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner will create you a custom herbal formula, special nasya, and customized Ayurveda plan to support the whole you.
Herbs are not Ayurvedic because it comes from India. Nor it is correct for you because it is organic. Herbs become Ayurvedic when used as part your customized Ayurveda plan which is carefully tailored for your constitution. An herb that is balancing to one person for a concern, may be imbalancing to another.
5. Balanced Lifestyle Choices
Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced lifestyle to support digestive health. Prioritizing sleep, managing stress through practices like meditation or diaphragmatic breathing, and staying hydrated are crucial aspects of Ayurveda that can positively impact digestive function and reduce the frequency of heartburn episodes. Small Ayurveda lifestyle adjustments can yield significant benefits in managing heartburn.
Incorporating these Ayurvedic tips for heartburn into your daily routine can offer natural relief and support your journey towards improved digestive health and increased calm. By balancing the doshas, wellbeing reveals itself.

“I saw my doctor who advised me to double my dose of Zoloft. Somehow, that didn't sit well with me, so I found Veena at Saumya Ayurveda. Implementing her Ayurveda plan and working with my physician, after only two months, I was off Zoloft completely and sleeping well, feeling good, and loving myself. Saumya Ayurveda has changed my life.
It's amazing how easy it is to integrate Veena's suggestions into my daily life. It's as though my body is saying to me, "Finally! Thank you for treating me better! This is what I've been wanting all along!" The improvements in my digestion and sleep were felt not after a month, or a week, but I experienced immediate relief. Saumya Ayurveda should not, must not, be a secret! Thank you.” --Nicole Grove, Minnesota
“I worked with Veena to get out of my body’s fight or flight state due to feeling a lack of stability while being uprooted from a home for many years. She also addressed digestion and hormones. It was a very nourishing experience that unlocked a lot of deeper truths that my body was ready to reveal. Thank you.”
