Say Goodbye to Acidity: Proven Ayurvedic and Natural Remedies for Instant Relief

New Delhi (The Uttam Hindu): Acidity has become a modern lifestyle disease, thanks to irregular eating habits, stress, and fast food culture. That burning sensation in the chest, sour burps, and heaviness in the stomach can disrupt your entire day. While antacids give temporary relief, they are not always the best long-term solution. Luckily, Ayurveda and home remedies offer quick, natural, and side-effect-free relief.

According to Ayurveda, drinking cold milk is an effective way to reduce acidity. The calcium present in milk neutralizes excess acid and soothes the burning sensation. Bananas are also highly beneficial as they contain natural elements that reduce acidity-related stomach problems and strengthen digestion. Eating bananas can bring quick relief and ease discomfort.

Ayurveda also emphasizes the benefits of cumin seeds (jeera) and carom seeds (ajwain) for acidity. These have long been used in Indian households to improve digestion. Drinking cumin water helps reduce gas and acidity, making the stomach feel lighter. Consuming ajwain with a pinch of black salt or boiled in water strengthens the digestive system and relaxes the stomach muscles. Both remedies not only reduce burning but also improve digestion, preventing further acidity.

Coconut water is another excellent natural remedy. Its electrolytes balance the body’s pH levels, reducing stomach acidity and providing relief from burning. Chewing fennel seeds (saunf) after meals is also a traditional and effective method to aid digestion and reduce gas. With regular use, fennel helps food digest faster and lowers acidity problems.
