4 natural remedies for treating hyperacidity

Hyperacidity or dyspepsia is a common health problem that bothers most of us. It is caused when our stomach produces excess hydrochloric acid from the gastric glands. It creates an imbalance between the acid-secretion process of the stomach and the safeguarding mechanism that provides safety.

Hydrochloric acid is an essential element of the digestion process that breaks food into smaller substances and promotes digestive health. But when the secretion of hydrochloric acid increases, it causes hyperactivity.

Some other factors that lead to hyperacidity are:

• Having poor eating habits.
• Physical inactivity.
• Consumption of excess caffeinated beverages, such as coffee and tea.
• Improper sleeping habits.
• And much more.

These factors become the reason for the following symptoms or health issues.

• Mild chest pain
• Heartburn
• Improper appetite
• Tiredness
• Irritation in throat
• Nausea and vomiting

However, these symptoms are hard to handle, but thanks to home remedies for acidity and gas problems. These remedies don’t cost much and help in keeping acidity and gastric problems at bay.

Home remedies for treating hyperacidity

Cold milk

Cold milk is the best home remedy for hyperacidity. The presence of calcium in milk prevents the excess build-up of hydrochloric acid. Cold milk absorbs extra acid in the stomach. Having cold milk while dealing with hyperacidity can provide relief from heartburn, etc.

Tulsi leaves

Tulsi leaves contain anti-ulcer and carminative properties that reduce gastric acid secretions and stimulate the digestive system.

We don’t need to do much for consuming these leaves, just chewing 2-3 leaves regularly will provide instant relief from gas.

Ginger

The anti-inflammatory effect of ginger reduces the flow back of stomach acid into the oesophagus. It improves mucus production and helps in reducing digestive issues.

Consuming a glass of ginger tea after a meal is proven to be beneficial for curing acidity issues.
