A natural remedy for hyper acidity

Hyperacidity also known as acid reflux or gastritis is a common gastrointestinal problem with inflammation along the stomach lining caused mostly by bacterial infection or sedentary lifestyle and wrong eating habits. 

It is a common stomach problem which can be rectified with some lifestyle modification and change in food habits. Here are some of the advice you may follow ;

• Do not lie down right after eating your meal or bend foreword,instead just sit idly for a while. 

• Follow regular eating time. Maintaining a long gap between each meal can let to excess gastric acid secretion triggering acidity.

• Chewing a slice of ginger or drinking a ginger juice or tea for several times a day can help neutralise the acidity.

• Add a few fennel seeds in water and boil them. Drink it for two times a day. You may also chew them.

• Pineapple juice is highly recommended for acidity due to the bromelain present in it which helps in controlling the acid.

Hyperacidity is a condition where the stomach is completely not able to do its job and the lining has all corroded due to the acidic environment. This did not happen because of body’s stomach acids. It has happened because of a faulty lifestyle. Things like animal foods (diary - anima milk, curd , ghee, butter , cheese paneer milk powder and anything made from animal foods, meat eggs) , sugar, processed foods , ready to eat packaged foods from outside, fried foods, refined oils etc can cause this condition. Apart from this, based on my experiences of working with people with similar conditions, negative emotions towards others/ dissatisfaction with life, self pity, hatred, anger, expectations from others etc, play a bigger role than food to disrupt the gut environment. 

There is a big colony of microbiome or living bacteria which protect us by its defence systems. That will also be slowly dying in such conditions. To restore that environment back, the following is essential. Advising is our duty, and how you incorporate this in your lives is yours. If you want some changes, please do send us your queries. 

Going on a tender coconut fast for 3 days - continue to keep drinking tender coconut as and when hungry.

Next 2 days, avoid citrus fruits and eat other fruits once a day as one big meal and tender coconut / ashgourd juice / cucumber juice for rest of the day 

Next 5 days, stay on fruits and veggie juices in any order with focus on juices more.

You might vomit / have loosemotions / have pains etc , but continue. 

In future, adopt this lifestyle after 10 days 

One green juice ( leaves + one watery vegetable) , lime ( optional )  / 400ml of cucumber juice upon waking 

Fruits for breakfast as many times as needed till 12pm

Vegetable salad with one vegetable juice for lunch 

Oilfree, unpolished millet based dinner 

Emotionally, forgiving others and forgiving oneself, showing compassion towards other beings, gratitude and love must be developed slowly. Negative emotions  might seem good , but it consumes our own body and does not hurt anyone else. Physical illness first manifests emotionally and consumes the physical body. I am not going to the details of that subject here. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Be blessed
