Acidity And It's Home Remedies

Acidity is one of the most common disorders which is being faced by the new generation, specially by people
who are high profile professionals. Acid is a natural agent of the body which is used for the digestive process.
Whenever we eat something, the cells in the stomach lining excrete acid to digest it but when this acid is
excreted in much more quantity than needed, then the problem of occurs. This happens when the stomach is
unable to digest food.

Acidity is also caused by stress. Stress disturbs the normal functioning of the body. Due to less energy, incorrect
blood flow and oxygen, the digestive process also slows down. This leads to accumulation of undigested food in
the stomach. The stomach cells then excretes excess acid, thus, causing problems. One of the major disease, is
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease).

In this case the excess acid goes up to the esophagus, as soon as the person lies down. At this time he
experiences heartburn. A person with GERD feels a stabbing pain in his heart. This is caused because the
esophagus causes a burning sensation in the lining of the esophagus.

Chronic acidity has to undergo a prescribed treatment but to prevent acidity or to handle it when it suddenly
occurs, here are some home remedies –

1. Drink two tall glasses of water in the morning. This helps wash out all the excess acid and other impurities
from the system. This also soothes off the burning sensation if any.
