Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a condition where the gastric contents come back up into the esophagus. Hiatal hernia is a condition, in which the upper part of the stomach or other internal organs bulges through the hiatus of the diaphragm. When there is a laxity in the hiatus, there may be acid reflux, and the symptoms of GERD may arise. In the present case, a 47 years old male started complaining of symptoms such as severe acid reflux, nausea, Decreased appetite. He consulted general physicians/surgeons who diagnosed the condition as mild gastritis and hiatus hernia Grade 3. After getting allopathic treatment for about Two Years, no significant relief was observed. After that, the patient visited Government Akhandanand Ayurveda Hospital Ahmedabad in march 2023 and was diagnosed as a case of Pittodara. He was treated on the bases of Pittodara managment. Pitta Dosha is responsible for regulating body temperature and metabolic activities.
