Acidity is a commonplace. It’s something that can strike after having a large meal. It can also hit after the consumption of anything that can cause irritation of the stomach’s lining, or cause an increase in digestive juices. Some usual culprits include those that are spicy, greasy and acidic.
Keeping acidity at bay is important. Otherwise, it may lead to acid reflux. In worse scenarios, it may even give rise to what’s known as gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD.
So the moment that you feel like your chest is on fire (heartburn) or there are other symptoms associated with acidity like nausea, dizziness, vomiting, burping and even coughing, make sure that you spring into action right away to have those acids in your stomach neutralized.
Here are some of the things that you may do to naturally get rid of acidity fast:
Banana
Immediately, reach for a banana and consume it. The starch that a banana contains can provide immediate relief from acidity. Do make sure that the banana you are about to eat is fully ripe as a raw one can make matters worse.
 Yogurt
We all know that yogurt is good for the gut as it helps promote the multiplication of beneficial bacteria residing in it. Did you know that this healthy treat is also very good at getting rid of acidity naturally? So if acidity is bugging you after a meal, have a yogurt — it’s a dessert and an acidity remedy rolled into one.
Milk
Glugging down a glass of milk can also put an end to acidity. However, milk and other dairy products tend to trigger acidity in some people, so make sure that you do some observations after taking a glass of milk.
Water
If milk seems to make your acidity worse, then simply get your hands on a glass of water. Since water is capable of making your digestive juices weak, it’s something that can help provide relief from acidity. It’s also a good idea to take a couple of glasses of water first thing in the morning if you’re prone to acidity.
Marshmallow Root
Drinking marshmallow root tea is a phenomenal home remedy for acidity. That’s because the gooey substance it has called mucilage helps in saving both your esophagus and stomach from irritation. No, marshmallow root tea is not out of that fluffy confection everyone knows, but an herb that can be obtained from health food stores.
Aloe Vera
The intake of aloe vera juice can be beneficial during a bout of acidity as it coats the lining of the esophagus and stomach, saving them from irritation. Do make sure that you opt for aloe vera juice that’s 100% pure.
ACV 
Some people suffer from acidity simply because the stomach is having a hard time digesting foods, so it tends to produce more and more digestive juices. If such is the case, you may benefit from utilizing apple cider vinegar. Simply add a tablespoon of it in a glass of water, and drink after every meal.
Holy Basil
Sometimes called tulsi, holy basil is an excellent home remedy for acidity. Chewing on 5 fresh leaves of it is said to help provide instant relief. Some people who are often bugged by acidity like to turn the leaves into tea.
