Symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n There are a number of symptoms of hyperacidity including vomiting, stomach pain, heartburn, flatulence and loss of appetite. The problem may get aggravated sometimes and cause other health issues like gastric ulcers or chronic indigestion. Currently, hyperacidity affects more than 25% of the U.S. population.<\/p>\n Home remedies<\/strong><\/p>\n Now, let’s take a look at 6 of the best home remedies for hyperacidity:<\/p>\n Baking Soda<\/strong><\/p>\n Baking soda is an effective natural remedy for hyperacidity and will show results almost immediately. Just one spoon of sodium bicarbonate can help get rid of the burning sensation in your body. The reason it works is because it is a base and has a pH level greater than 7 and neutralizes the acid in your stomach.<\/p>\n Aloe Vera<\/strong><\/p>\n Aloe Vera is a rarely used remedy for hyperacidity but it does have a powerful effect. It is effective against inflammation. If your stomach starts getting irritated or inflamed or if your esophagus is bothering you, a glass of fresh aloe vera juice can really help calm everything down.<\/p>\n Chewing gum<\/strong><\/p>\n Chewing gum is one of the best treatments for hyperacidity.

Gravity is working against you here and it becomes easier for any newly digested contents to come up your esophagus along with acid. Elevating your head around 5 inches while sleeping is an excellent way to ensure this doesn’t happen. Try not to sleep for 4-5 hours after you eat as sleeping when you have a full stomach will only make its contents press harder against your esophageal sphincter.<\/p>\n Banana or Apple<\/strong><\/p>\n Both of these fruits are useful home remedies for hyperacidity.
