Ways
to cure acidity naturally
Suffering from acidity is
very common in people. Acidity occurs due
to excess secretion of acids in the gastric glands of the stomach. When the
secretion is more than usual, we feel heartburn, which is normally triggered
off by consumption of spicy foods.
Here are some tips to cure
it naturally.

Skip the aerated drinks and caffeine. Instead opt for herbal
tea.
