How can I solve the acidity problem at home?

Despite what its name implies, heartburn has nothing to do with your heart.

Rather, it's a burning sensation in your chest that occurs when stomach acid backs up into your esophagus, the 10-inch tube connecting your mouth to your stomach.

When it hits, heartburn can last for just a few minutes or as long as several hours. Either way, it's uncomfortable — so it's no surprise if you're looking for a way to get rid of the sensation fast.

Acidity or heartburn are triggered by things like your diet and lifestyle choices — making the occasional bout of heartburn fairly common.

Common triggers of heartburn include:

●       Overeating or eating too quickly

●       Lying down too soon after eating

●       Consuming certain foods, including caffeine, carbonated beverages, alcohol, peppermint, citrus, tomato-based products, chocolate and fatty or spicy foods

●       Being overweight

●       Smoking

●       Stress and anxiety

 If you're trying to get rid of heartburn fast, here are 5 ways to ease and even prevent your symptoms:

1. Ginger

With its various digestive and anti-inflammatory properties, ginger can be considered to be one of the most effective home remedies for acidity.  You can use ginger in your cooking or you can just chew a slice of fresh ginger. Also, you can boil it in a glass of water, reduce it to half a glass and then drink the water.

2. Mint Leaves

Mint leaves not only aid in digestion but also bring about a cooling effect to your entire system. They are a simple quick fix solution for instant relief from acidity.

3. Buttermilk

The lactic acid in buttermilk normalizes the acidity in the stomach and gives a soothing effect. A glass of buttermilk topped with black pepper and coriander helps in instantly easing our symptoms of acidity.

4. Bananas

Apart from being one of the natural remedies for constipation, bananas offer relief from acidity as well. They have high fiber content and are rich in potassium as well. They offer various benefits for the digestive system and act as effective home remedies for acidity.

 5. Coconut water

Having 2 glasses of coconut water daily might help you with heartburn relief. Rich in fiber, it helps soothe your digestive system. Also, it may protect your stomach from the effects of excess acid production.

While home remedies are a great alternative solution to the problem at hand, they sometimes may fail to address the problem.
