Acidity happens when stomach acid travels in the opposite direction, into the oesophagus, causing uncomfortable symptoms like heartburn, stomach discomfort, etc.
Its major reasons include irregularities in food habits, spicy food, lifestyle factors, medications, and such.
However, there are many homemade drinks that can help you reduce or cure acidity. Let’s check them out:
Coconut Water: Coconut water is a naturally refreshing drink, full of electrolytes and nutrients. Its natural sweetness aids in soothing an irritated stomach while balancing the pH level and curing acidity.
Lemon Ginger Tea: Lemon’s alkaline properties and ginger’s anti-inflammatory properties make a great combination to cure acidity.
Ajwain Water: Boil some Ajwain seeds in water, strain the water, and drink to cure acidity or other digestive problems.
Cold Milk: Calcium in milk absorbs excess acid in the stomach while easing down the burning sensation. However, it’s better not to add anything to the milk to enhance its flavour.
Ginger Tea: With its anti-inflammatory properties and chemical contents, ginger tea helps relieve acidity symptoms and nausea.
Tulsi Tea: Boil 6-7 basil leaves in water and drink the strained water by adding lemon and honey, to cure acidity.
Banana and Yogurt Smoothie: Rich in potassium banana helps balance pH and soothes digestive issues. Prebiotic yoghurt supports gut health and its calcium reduces acidity.
While these drinks may bring effective results, if you are having constant and serious acidity issues, it’s best to consult a health expert.
