In this article, we will talk about Acidity and how it may affect you. We will also talk about Acidity ayurvedic treatment by Grocare.
Acidity is a set of symptoms caused by excess acid in the stomach. Your stomach naturally produces gastric or hydrochloric acid (HCl) to help digest and break down food. Acidity issues arise when there is excess production of this acid due to triggers such as irregular food timings, sedentary lifestyle, acidic foods, alcohol, dehydration and stress.
When acidity occurs, the excess acid may move up from your stomach to your esophagus. The lining of your stomach with a pH of 1 to 3 is designed as such to withstand a high acidic environment. Your esophagus on the other hand with a pH close to 7 is not, and you may experience symptoms such as a burning sensation in the chest when this pH drops below 4. Other uncomfortable symptoms may include sour taste in the mouth, heaviness and burning sensation in the stomach or throat. Antacids work to bring up the pH in your Esophagus to above 3.5 relieving you from acidity only temporarily. Certain signs of Acidity can be extremely tedious to bear. When the gastric glands of the stomach produce extra acid than the usual amount, it leads to acid reflux.
Here are some signs that could point towards the fact that you could be suffering from acidity.
Burning throat
This is the first and one of the most common symptoms that you will experience. The moment you feel the burn in your throat, it’s better to take precautions and keep yourself away from acidity.
Sour Taste
When the stomach acid rises back to your throat, it leaves behind sour taste. The taste is unpleasant and it is a clear sign of acidity. You may also experience a burning sensation after this.
Frequent Regurgitation
One of the common occurrences during acidity, regurgitation is the backlash of food particles or liquid or bile moving up your throat.
Chest Burn
Due to the extra heat produced during acidity, the chest starts to feel a burning sensation. At times, this sensation might be severe and could make it unbearable for you.
Vomiting
Acidity at times also leads to vomiting. In cases where the body is unable to hold the food back or the presence of acid aggravates the digestion procedure, the person can end up vomiting.
It is important to note that in many cases acidic imbalance may not trigger acidity. This means that while you may have acid imbalance or pH imbalance problems, it is not necessary that these may manifest into acidity symptoms.
Remember, the reason for acidity is not that there is extra acid in the stomach. It is ALWAYS that the acid levels in the stomach are imbalanced. This is why you only feel acidity at times. Its not always there.
How To Treat?
The only way to treat acidity is to balance acid levels in the stomach. This can only be done with acidim.
