200 mL: ₹140

Acidal is an Ayurvedic syrup for Amlapitta — hyperacidity, heartburn and the sour, heavy indigestion that comes with them. Twelve herbs are steam-distilled into an ark (distillate) and balanced with a little salt and tartaric acid.

Its cooling bitters — Patol, Neem, Giloy and Amla — calm Pitta, while licorice soothes, and fennel, coriander and Nagarmotha settle wind and indigestion.

Used for

Hyperacidity (Amlapitta)
Heartburn
Indigestion
Sour belching & nausea

Why acidity flares up

Your stomach makes strong acid to digest food, and its lining is built to take it. Trouble starts when acid is made at the wrong time or in excess, or when it washes back up into the food pipe (reflux) — giving heartburn, sour belching, nausea and a heavy, burning upper belly. Spicy, sour or fried food, late or irregular meals, stress, alcohol and painkillers are common triggers.

Ayurveda calls this Amlapitta: Pitta, already aggravated, takes on an excess of its sour (Amla) and liquid (Drava) qualities, while weak digestive fire (Mandagni) lets food sour and ferment into Ama. Treatment cools and calms Pitta (Pittashamana), soothes the inflamed lining and restores clean digestion.

Acidal cools acidity in 4 ways

Pitta-pacifying & Cooling (Pittashamaka) — Patol, Giloy, Neem bark and Amla are the bitter, cooling herbs Ayurveda pairs with Amlapitta; amla is gastroprotective and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies.
Soothing & Mucosal Protective (Dahahara) — Licorice coats and soothes the stomach lining; its glycyrrhizin and flavonoids are anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective in laboratory models.
Carminative & Digestive (Deepana-Pachana) — Fennel, coriander and Nagarmotha relieve wind and sour indigestion, and the three Triphala fruits keep the bowels regular so Ama does not build up.
Liver & Bile Support (Yakrituttejaka) — Bhringraj, which the booklet credits with regulating bile flow, is hepatoprotective in experimental models.

Key ingredients

Patol (Pointed gourd) (Trichosanthes dioica, leaf) — 0.16 g. Pointed-gourd leaf, a classic Pitta-pacifying bitter in Ayurveda for acidity, fever and the liver; Charaka used it for jaundice. It contains triterpenes, saponins and tannins, and studies describe antipyretic, antiulcer and laxative activity.
Amalaki (Amla) (Emblica officinalis, dried fruit) — 0.17 g. Ayurveda's foremost Rasayana and one of the three Triphala fruits. Rich in vitamin C, emblicanins and other tannins, it is strongly antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective and hepatoprotective in experimental studies.
Giloy (Guduchi) (Tinospora cordifolia, stem) — 0.16 g. A Rasayana for chronic fever and immunity. Its polysaccharides, alkaloids and diterpenoids are immunomodulatory, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies. Rare liver injury has been reported, possibly from mis-identified Tinospora species.
Neem (Azadirachta indica, stem bark) — 0.16 g. Ayurveda's great bitter for skin disease and Rakta-dushti. Neem's limonoids (nimbin, nimbidin, azadirachtin) are antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies.
Mulethi (Yashtimadhu) (Glycyrrhiza glabra, stem) — 0.08 g. Licorice root coats and soothes irritated mucous membranes of the throat and stomach. Glycyrrhizin and licorice flavonoids are anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective in laboratory models. In Ayurveda it is the classic Kanthya — good for the throat and voice.
Saunf (Fennel) (Foeniculum vulgare, fruit) — 0.16 g. Sweet, cooling seeds for wind, colic and indigestion, long given to infants. Its anethole relaxes intestinal smooth muscle and eases gas in experimental studies; fennel is also a traditional galactagogue.
Dhaniya (Coriander) (Coriandrum sativum, fruit) — 0.08 g. Cooling seeds Ayurveda pairs with heat-related indigestion, burning and thirst. Coriander's linalool-rich oil is carminative, antimicrobial and antioxidant in experimental studies.
Nagarmotha (Musta) (Cyperus rotundus, rhizome) — 0.16 g. A fragrant tuber Ayurveda uses for indigestion, diarrhoea, fever and thirst (Pachana, Grahi). Its sesquiterpenes are antidiarrhoeal, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant in experimental studies.
Bhringraj (Eclipta alba, whole plant) — 0.16 g. Best known for hair, Bhringraj is also a classic liver herb (Yakrituttejaka). Its coumestans, such as wedelolactone, are hepatoprotective in experimental models, and in an early study its alcoholic extract protected against chemical (CCl₄) liver damage.
