When our body feels burning sensation inside the body, it is always due to vitiated Pitta & Rakta dosha. According to Ayurveda, there are so many reasons for vitiation of Pitta dosha. Eating excessive spicy food, oily food, eating hot & cold food together like combo packs of samosa & cold drink, sleeping late at night, irregular food timings, fermented food items such as idli & dosa, bread, pizza, burger; milkshakes and also mental stress, etc are reasons that increase pitta dosha in the body & ultimately causes Acidity. It is commonly known by everyone as heartburn.

Acidity occurs when there is excessive secretion of acids by the gastric glands in the stomach. When the secretion is more than usual, we feel a burning sensation in food pipe, indigestion, constipation, burning sensation in feet, burning sensation while passing urine, headache, restlessness, nausea, burping, sour taste, etc. Ignorance of such symptoms may lead to more severe conditions like ulcers in the stomach.
