Get Rid of Acidity with Homeopathy
Twenty minutes after eating a hearty meal, it hits you: a burning sensation through your mid-section, everything tastes sour, you feel uncomfortable and bloated. What you are experiencing is an attack of hyperacidity. And this is an everyday problem for many of us. Want relief?
HOW DOES HOMEOPATHY WORK FOR TREATING ACIDITY?
Homeopathy works by regulating normal secretion of hydrochloric acid from the gastric gland, thus maintaining normal levels of acids in the stomach, thinning chances of recurrence or severing of the condition without side effects. Homeopathy is an individualistic approach to treating all conditions, because it is understood and accepted that every individual can be subject to different symptoms for the same general condition, and relieving every individual of the symptoms they face is what homeopathy practitioners strive for.
WHY DOES IT HAPPEN?
The stomach and intestines secrete hydrochloric acid and various enzymes like pepsin that help in digestion. But an excess of these acids and enzymes can adversely affect the stomach lining.
Acidity or acid peptic disease (APD) refers to a set of symptoms caused by an imbalance between the acid secreting mechanism of the stomach and the protective mechanisms that keep your gut healthy. It is this imbalance that causes discomfort.
SYMPTOMS
Indigestion and heartburn are the most common stomach complaints. Heartburn usually occurs after a meal and is often brought on by excess intra-abdominal pressure.
If left untreated, chronic acidity might lead to peptic ulcers (erosion of the lining of the stomach or the first part of the intestine) and even cancer.
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
The incidence of heart burn is generally higher among emotional and anxious individuals. Acidity is also linked to stress and is more likely to affect those in demanding jobs.
Alcohol, smoking, spicy food, irregular meals, lack of exercise, a predominantly nonvegetarian diet (as these foods stay longer in the stomach and are harder to digest), excessive use of common painkillers are all predisposing factors.
TREAT IT RIGHT
Acidity can be tackled easily with lifestyle changes. Learn to relax, exercise, eat on time and choose easy-to-digest foods.
Home Remedies
1. Suck on clove or jaggery or chew a few basil (tulsi) leaves.
2. Sip fresh mint juice after meals to keep heartburn at bay.
3. Drink coconut water. It's a good remedy for heartburn.
If the problem persists, try homeopathy. It has several medicines that can sort out the problem from its root.
In homoeopathy a holistic evaluation of the patient is made. His mental make-up, emotional state, likes and dislikes, fears, sleep patterns, food preferences are all taken into account before prescribing a medicine.
