Best Homemade Cures For Acidity with Dr Reddy’s Omez
The word Acidity never existed in my dictionary when I was younger. It was always stomach upset or indigestion but never acidity. However, over the years, it seems like that burning sensation in my chest is playing a more worrisome part of my life. It had to be dealt with and treated before it did more harm.
What is Acidity?
An Acidity attack comes when there is an excessive secretion of acids in the gastric glands of the stomach. This produces gas, bad breath, stomach ache and leads to other problems.
Acidity and lifestyle choices
The lifestyle changes we have made in life is the primary factor why acidity is on the rise. Fast foods, pizza, colas, those late-night diners. Smoking and obesity also play key roles in an acid reflux condition. Due to all these reasons increases acidity in the stomach, leading to it rising from the abdomen and reaching your throat. This condition is known as heart-burn, or as we call it, acidity.
Suddenly my head was pounding with so many questions in my head? Acidity problem? What are the natural remedies for acidity? Heartburn symptoms and risk factors of Acidity? I wanted the answers to all these questions and wanted to get my digestion on track.
Risk factors for acid reflux disease
1. People eating large meals at night or lying down right after a meal are at more risk of developing acidity.
2. Being overweight or obese causes extra pressure on the abdomen and stomach. This further can result in reflux or acidity.
3. Snacking close to bedtime causes indigestion problems. That is why doctors advise an early and light dinner to patients dealing with acid reflux.
4. Eating certain foods aggravate the situation. Certain foods like lime, tomato, chocolate, mint, garlic, onions, or spicy or fatty foods should be totally avoided.
5. During pregnancy, there is an increase of the hormones estrogen, plus while your belly expands that more pressure on your abdomen. Due t this pregnant women will often experience heartburn, which can lead to GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease)
6. Drinking certain beverages, such as alcohol, carbonated drinks, coffee, or tea.
7. Taking aspirin, ibuprofen, certain muscle relaxers, or blood pressure medications tends to increase acidic levels in our body.
Best Homemade Cures For Acidity
1. Cherries
Cherries are alkaline in nature. They help to prevent stomach problems like acidity and aid digestion.
2. Jaggery
Grandma always recommended a small piece of jaggery after a heavy meal. Guess, because jaggery is alkaline in nature, thus reduces stomach acidity. The best recipe to keep acidity at bay in a sweet and healthy way.
3. Buttermilk
Buttermilk or chaas works as an antacid after a heavy or spicy meal. The lactic
acid in Buttermilk neutralizes the acidity caused in
the stomach.
4. Basil Leaves
Chewing on five to six basil leaves when you suffer from acidity is a great way to beat the discomfort you feel.
5. Ginger
I sharply remember sipping on warm ginger water during my ten-day Vipassana course. Rich in anti-inflammatory properties, ginger contains many healthy properties to aid acidity and improve digestion. TRuly works fast and is one of the Best Homemade Cures For Acidity.
6. Banana
For instant acidity relief, just eat a banana. A banana a day
keeps acidity at bay. Bananas are a natural buffer against acid reflux. This is
the best home remedy for getting acidity relief.
7. Fennel Seeds
You can chew a few seeds of jeera to relieve acidity or boil it in water and drink the solution when it has cooled down.
8. Apple Cider Vinegar
People think this cannot be true however apple cider vinegar is known to effectively aid acidity. Just stir up 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water and sip it once or even twice a day.
9. Coconut Water
A person who suffers from acidity can drink coconut water every day, the body’s pH acidic level turns alkaline, and this prevents the re-occurrence of acidity in the body.
10. Cloves
Cloves have carminative properties, this prevented the formation of gas in the
gastrointestinal tract.
– Sucking on a clove or just placing it under your tongue can be an effective
remedy for acidity.
Dr. Reddy’s Omez Medicine
At the end of it all, it is best to consult a doctor. In recent times, my father has been advised Dr. Reddy’s Omez tablet; it lowers the amount of acid produced in the stomach and helps in the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Omez Dosage – One tablet has to be consumed an hour before breakfast. The medicine may take 1 to 4 days to have full effect. Omez Medicine will not relieve heartburn right away. It has an advantage of once-daily dosing and should be consumed at least 1 hour before breakfast.
Omez Side effects – The most common side effects of taking the Omez tablet is headache, constipation or diarrhea, stomach pain and feeling sick. These are generally mild but one must definitely consult a pharmacist or doctor before intake.
