Are You Troubled With Constant Heartburn?

Who does not love some crispy fried pakoras with a hot cup of tea or some midnight snacks to finish watching your movie or choosing to hit the office on an emot stomach only to have your favorite chat on the way! With all these untimely food and incompatible combinations that we pile in almost on a daily basis, heartburn is the most recurrent scuffling in many irrespective of age. The idea might me a little overboard but some many among us might be really troubled with the speckled blemishes on the face, not realising its all the outcomes of escalated Pitta Dosha due to all that spice and masala that goes in with those food irregularities.

As women, if you still think it’s ok to have heavy menstrual days, do you suppose it to be totally normal?
