Try this trusted method to get rid of acidity

Spicy food is something that everyone enjoys. However, when mouthwatering dishes are consumed in excess, it can cause acid reflux, also known as acidity. It is a condition where the person feels a burning sensation in his or her chest. The stomach's gastric glands produce acid, which is required for digestion. During acidity, the same acid flows back up into the food pipe.

Acidity is a condition characterized by heartburn in the lower chest area. Its frequent occurrence can give birth to Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). This backwash or acid reflux irritates the esophageal lining and can lead to esophageal damage and cancer. In some cases, it can also erode tooth enamel, resulting in cavities.

Common reasons of acidity 

Some common symptoms of acidity include burping, burning sensation, heartburn, belching and extreme discomfort in the stomach area. Usually acidity does not require immediate medical attention. Most cases of acidity (unless severe) can be resolved with some home remedies. Jeera has always been used to treat digestive problems. The benefits of Jeera are listed with great detail in Ayurveda as well.
