Acidity is the cause of surplus secretion of acid by the gastric glands of the stomach. Our stomach secretes an acid, which is necessary for the digestive process. This acid, in turn, produces various digestive enzymes, like pepsin, which help in the breaking complex food particles into elements that can be easily digested by the body.
Remedies:
1. Chew 8-10 pudina leaves (fresh mint leaves) early in the morning on an empty stomach for one month. Having raw onions along with your meals will also keep acidity at bay.
2. Regular consumption of fresh mint juice can also help you get rid of acidity.
3. Avoid too much tea, coffee, fried and fermented food as they stimulate acid production.
4. Take a glass of water, add a pinch of baking soda and drink it at one go. It gives immediate relief.
5. Take a glass of warm water, add a pinch of hing (asafoetida) and have it every morning.
6. If you are looking for an immediate relief, have a bowl of yoghurt. It is one of the most effective home remedies for acidity.
7. Eat a serving of cucumber or watermelon 4-5 times in a day.
8. Chew 7-8 basil (tulsi leaves) leaves to get relief from acidity and gas.
9.. Have a glass of cabbage juice everyday, to avoid acid formation and the resultant acidity.
