I understand ð. GERD (acid reflux with burning, regurgitation, or lump-like sensation in the throat = *globus pharyngeus*) is very common when **Pitta is aggravated and Vata is disturbed** in the upper GIT. Ayurveda can help control it and restore balance.

## ð¿ Ayurvedic View
* Condition corresponds to **Amlapitta** and sometimes **Urdhwaga Amlapitta**.
* Main issues: excess acid (Pitta), upward movement of Vata, weak digestion (Mandagni).
* Goal: **pacify Pitta**, strengthen Agni, soothe oesophagus, and reduce inflammation.
