What is Acidity?

Acidity, also known as heartburn, is a burning sensation in the chest caused by stomach acid traveling up towards the throat (acid reflux). When this happens frequently, it is referred to as gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD). Acidity is one of the most common problems faced by people worldwide, and homeopathic treatments can effectively manage acidity, offering instant relief.

Causes of Acidity

Acidity occurs when the lining of the esophagus (food pipe) comes in contact with stomach acid for extended periods. A valve at the lower end of the esophagus typically keeps the acid in the stomach. In GERD, this valve relaxes too often, allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus.

Common Causes of Acidity Include:

• Spicy, fried foods, tea, coffee, tomatoes, alcohol, and chocolates.
• Being overweight, smoking, and stress.
• Pregnancy and certain medications, such as anti-inflammatory painkillers.
• Hiatus hernia, where part of the stomach moves up into the chest.

Signs and Symptoms of Acidity

The main symptoms of acidity include:

• Heartburn – a burning sensation in the chest.
• An unpleasant sour taste in the mouth caused by stomach acid.
• Frequent burping, hoarseness, or bad breath.
• Bloating and nausea.

Symptoms worsen after eating, when lying down, or bending over.

Lifestyle Modifications for Treatment of Acidity

Acidity can often be controlled by lifestyle changes and the use of antacids.

Recommended Lifestyle Modifications:

• Avoid foods and drinks that trigger acidity.
• Quit smoking and reduce alcohol consumption.
• Maintain a healthy weight.
• Raise the head of your bed and avoid lying down immediately after eating.
• Avoid tight clothing that puts pressure on the stomach.
