It is known that acid or heartburn does not spare anyone from its claws. Most adults suffer from it at some point in their lives. Acid occurs when too much acid is produced in the stomach. It is the main cause of stomach ulcers, bad breath, abdominal pain, nausea, etc. It leaves an aftertaste in your mouth and leaves a sharp feeling between your ribs that radiates to your heart. That is why it is also called heartburn.
Many people have confessed to succumbing to the acid and that it changed their lives for the worse.

As the saying goes, “Charity begins at home,” treatment for acid also begins in your kitchen and herb garden.
How do you ask? Here are some ways and ingredients that can help you remove the acid from your life.
1. Water: Due to its neutral pH balance, water is the ragweed that helps you neutralize the pH balance in your stomach. It reduces acid levels in the stomach and protects the stomach lining from damage. This leads to ulcers and acidity. It is advisable to drink a glass of lukewarm water before going to bed and after waking up. Do not drink water during meals.
2. Holy Basil Leaves: Wash some holy basil leaves as soon as you feel a sharp sensation under your breastbone or experience a sour/bitter aftertaste in your mouth. This is one way the body responds to attacks of acid. Holy Basil or 'Tulsi' has many medicinal properties and fighting acid is one of them.
3. Cinnamon: Take cinnamon powder and boil it in some water. Simmer for a minute and strain. It will start to look like tea liquor. Have that without adding anything and you will notice a change. It works as natural antacids and also helps treat flatulence.
4. Apple Cider Vinegar: Although naturally acidic, apple cider vinegar has an alkalizing effect on the stomach lining. Drink two teaspoons of it with a cup of water twice a day.
5. Buttermilk: Also known as “Chaach”; A glass of buttermilk with a teaspoon of roasted cumin powder mixed with roasted fenugreek seeds powder and coriander paste will give you relief and get rid of the acid problem in your life on a regular basis.
Acidity is a serious lifestyle problem for most of us. It is very important to be careful when managing it. It is important to make the above tips a part of your life and you will be free from the acid chains for good.
