Discussing Useful Home Remedy for Acidity Sufferers

Acidity is a commonly occurring digestive ailment. Acidity is not a systemic disease. It is a condition caused by the over-secretion of acids found naturally in the stomach. Acidity leads to several uncomfortable symptoms like burping and heartburn.

The condition can be cured by using simple home remedies as discussed here.

Wood Apple

Wood apple leaves are an effective remedy for acidity. Soak some wood apple leaves in water, overnight. The next morning, boil and strain the leaves. The resulting drink can be stored and used for three or four days.

The drink acts as quickly as some popular antacid medications. Make the drink more effective by adding a few drops of fresh lime juice. In case of heartburn and repeated burping due to acidity, add black pepper and rock salt to this mixture.

Cabbage

Cabbage has been used for many years to treat peptic ulcers. It is equally effective in treating acidity. However, it is difficult to eat cabbage when acidity is accompanied by indigestion. In such cases, boil cabbage in water. Cool the resulting drink to room temperature and consume regularly for a few weeks.

Other vegetable juices that help relieve acidity include carrot and spinach juice. You could even combine the two juices with fennel juice to form a potent anti-acidity preparation. If flatulence is also a problem, add a generous dash of cucumber juice to the mix.

Fenugreek, Cumin

Fenugreek seeds excrete light mucilage when soaked. The mucilage coats the intestines and prevents acidity. Fenugreek can be used in the dry form as well. You can also prepare herbal tea with fenugreek seeds. Alternatively, try a tea of fenugreek seeds and drumsticks. You may add cumin seeds or fennel to this.

Cumin seeds can also be roasted and consumed with any fruit juice that is rich in Vitamin C. Orange juice is a good option. You can also add black pepper to the mix to relieve flatulence.
