Information on Acidity, high stomach acid
| Description |
Treatment Plan |
| Increased stomach acid can result from stress, too many spicy foods, alcoholic drinks, coffee, and other gastric irritants. Stomach acid can contribute to ulcers and heartburn. |
Relaxing herbs can reduce the impact of the stress response on stomach acid production. Demulcent and anti-inflammatory herbs to soothe irritation are often employed in cases of high stomach acidity. Avoid stimulating beverages, especially coffee, alcohol, or soft drinks; try fresh water with a little lemon juice squeezed into it instead. |
