Natural Remedies to Get Rid of Acid Reflux

Why Does Acid Reflux Happen?

Acid reflux is caused by the excessive production of acid by the gastric glands of the stomach. Generally, the stomach produces hydrochloric acid to help digest and break down food. Acidity occurs due to triggers such as acidic food, alcohol, dehydration, and stress, which cause excess production of acid. Today, we will explore techniques that can help you get rid of acid reflux naturally and permanently.

Why Food is Important for Acid Reflux

Food is a very important element when it comes to acid reflux. After every meal, if we suck on a small piece of jaggery, it will help maintain normal body temperature and cool the stomach. Drinking one cup of cold cow\’s milk or almond milk can also help. Milk helps to neutralize acid and keeps the stomach alkaline. Coconut water, buttermilk, bananas, and apples are also good options to soothe your stomach.

Journaling is a very important technique to reduce acidity. In a journal or diary, make a record of the food you have eaten all day and the activities you did. This will help you understand which foods create problems in your body and which foods you should avoid. Reflecting on positive aspects of life, such as blessings, talents, skills, or faith, will keep you away from stress and negativity, which are major causes of acidity.
