    So, you had a fantastic meal. But after some time, you start experiencing heartburn or acid reflux. As a result, you begin to regret why you even had that meal. Basically, ‘acidity,’ this unwanted feeling we all don’t want but still experience frequently. In this blog, you will learn some of the best home remedies for acidity. But, before that, you should know what acid reflux is.

    What is acid reflux?

    Gastric glands in our stomach secrete acid to digest food, but acidity happens when the secretion is in excess. It is the condition in which the acid of the stomach gets pushed into the esophagus. Although, if you’re experiencing acidity rarely, it is ok to get relief with the help of medicine like Omeprazole. But, if this happens too often, you have to pay attention as it can be much more harmful.
