As per Nmami Agarwal, these four home remedies can help keep acidity at bay. She suggests having one teaspoon of fennel seed with warm water to help you get some relief from acidity and other symptoms like heartburn. She also adds that jaggery contains potassium and magnesium. While Potassium is great to maintain pH balance, it's also required for the production of mucus in the stomach lining. Magnesium is required for your digestive system to work smoothly. So, just a small piece of jaggery will take care of your issue related to acidity. As per what Nmami advises, simply chew cumin seeds or boil one tablespoon of the same in a glass of water to relieve acidity. The fourth home remedy includes ajwain. The nutritionist says it's great for acidity and flatulence. It's an effective anti-acidic agent and helps in the process of digestion as well.
Hope these home remedies by Nmami Agarwal help you in your day-to-day life.
