Acidal's cooling herbs, plus natural antacids for when the burn can't wait.

100 mL: ₹75 · 200 mL: ₹140

Acidal Plus pairs the twelve-herb distillate of Acidal with three fast-acting antacids: Shankh bhasma (calcined conch shell), Kapardika bhasma (calcined cowrie) and Meetha soda (sodium bicarbonate). The carton promises quick relief in gas and acidity.

The antacids neutralise excess acid within minutes, while Patol, Amla, Giloy and licorice work on the Pitta behind it, and fennel and coriander ease the wind and bloating.

Used for

• Hyperacidity (Amlapitta)
• Heartburn
• Gas & bloating
• Indigestion

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 in excess or washes back up into the food pipe — giving heartburn, sour belching, bloating and a burning upper belly. Spicy or fried food, irregular meals, stress and painkillers are common triggers.

Ayurveda calls this Amlapitta: aggravated Pitta takes on an excess of its sour and liquid qualities, while weak digestive fire (Mandagni) lets food ferment into Ama, which also produces gas (Adhmana). Relief comes from neutralising the excess acid now and calming Pitta and digestion over time.

Acidal Plus works in 4 ways

• Fast Antacid (Amlapitta-shamaka) — Sodium bicarbonate and the calcium carbonate of Shankh and Kapardika bhasma neutralise excess stomach acid within minutes — the same chemistry as over-the-counter antacids.
• Pitta-pacifying & Cooling (Pittashamaka) — Patol, Giloy, Neem bark and Amla are the bitter, cooling herbs Ayurveda pairs with Amlapitta; amla is gastroprotective in experimental studies.
• Soothing (Dahahara) — Licorice coats and soothes the stomach lining; its flavonoids are anti-inflammatory and gastroprotective in laboratory models.
• Carminative (Vatanulomana) — Fennel, coriander and Nagarmotha relieve wind and bloating, and the Triphala fruits keep the bowels regular.

Key ingredients

• Meetha soda (sodium bicarbonate) — 250 mg. Sodium bicarbonate neutralises stomach acid within minutes (HCO₃⁻ + H⁺ → CO₂ + water), easing heartburn and acid indigestion; the released carbon dioxide can cause burping. Not for regular long-term use with high blood pressure or kidney disease.
• Shankh bhasma (calcined conch shell) — 250 mg. Conch shell calcined by classical Rasa-shastra methods into fine calcium carbonate (calcite). Like any carbonate antacid it neutralises excess stomach acid; Ayurveda uses it for hyperacidity, indigestion and colic (Amlapitta, Parinama shoola).
• Kapardika bhasma (calcined cowrie shell) — 100 mg. Cowrie shell calcined to a fine calcium-carbonate powder. Ayurveda prescribes it for hyperacidity, indigestion, colic and an enlarged liver or spleen; its antacid action is that of calcium carbonate, and clinical research is limited.
• Patol (Pointed gourd) (Trichosanthes dioica, whole plant) — 160 mg. 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) — 160 mg. 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) — 160 mg. 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.
• Mulethi (Yashtimadhu) (Glycyrrhiza glabra, root) — 80 mg. 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) — 160 mg. 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) — 80 mg. Cooling seeds Ayurveda pairs with heat-related indigestion, burning and thirst. Coriander's linalool-rich oil is carminative, antimicrobial and antioxidant in experimental studies.
