Published on November 28, 2019, hyperacidity can cause gas, bloating, acid-reflux, and stomach pain. While over-the-counter cures may be tempting, there are natural foods that can assist in easing the discomfort.

Combat Hyperacidity with These Foods

Bananas are a natural remedy for hyperacidity. Ripe bananas increase the production of mucus in the gut, preventing excessive acid formation and fighting the effects of excess acid production.

Another effective remedy is milk. Calcium, a key ingredient in many antacids, can be found in cold milk, providing instant relief by absorbing excess acid produced.

Ginger is also a natural remedy for hyperacidity. It destroys bacteria that causes acidity, reducing inflammation, nausea, and calming the stomach. Enjoy it raw or steeped in hot water for best results.

Garlic is a natural remedy for indigestion and can also ease acidity. Raw garlic kills microorganisms that cause gastroenteritis, while cooked garlic aids digestion and eases acidity when consumed regularly.
