Acidity

#Ayurved_For_You

Suffering from Acidity???

A patient approached to ask a doubt. She had acidity. This acidity had developed to become gastritis and now the patient was suffering from repeated trouble. And her Doctor advised to have curds in the diet esp sweet curds. Having that will pacify the acidity is what he said. She had read one of my previous posts about curds. So she wanted to confirm.

This is a common misbelief that curds are cold. It is so deep that even doctors consider it to be cold. Especially the sweet curds are considered cold. Sweet curds give relief to patients only because of the sweetness. May curd be sweet or saur, it is hot in nature.

There is already Acid of about 3.5pH in the stomach. And if we add curds in it which is cold in touch but hot in nature; I can bet you may feel temporary relief, but will get long time or even permenant disease.

Sweet curds means improperly formed curds. Ayurved calls it Mandaka. And such thing does Prakopa of all three Dosha. So more dangerous and is not suitable for Gastritis.
