Hyperacidity is conventionally treated with antacid tablets. Antacids provide temporary relief especially during an acute, painful attack of hyperacidity. Nonetheless, some antacids have side effects such as hypersensitivity, headache, confusion and dryness. Though the side effects may be considered normal and not to be a cause of concern, they can be very annoying.
To date, there are many medicines for hyperacidity, each with their own way of reducing or preventing excess acid in the stomach. The common and known anti-acidity drugs are Zantac, Prevacid and Prilosec. Studies pitting them against placebo test cases show favorable results.
Nowadays, however, homeopathic treatment is also used to treat hyperacidity. Acidity of the stomach is said to be caused not just by physiological factors but by emotional and psychological factors, too. The homeopathic treatment of hyperacidity is safe and convenient for it focuses on treating the condition by understanding the the mind and body interrelationship. Remedies, however, may also include natural medicines that are not habit-forming. Part of a homeopathy therapy are doing Yoga exercises. These Yoga exercises aims to strengthen digestive power. It also has a relaxing effect to the digestive organs resulting to a more controlled digestion.
On the other hand, self-help treatment can also be done simply by avoiding food and drinks that can lead to hyperacidity. Food and drinks that can cause too much acidity in the stomach includes fried, fatty & spicy foods, as well as caffeinated and alcoholic drinks. Also, eating the food properly will help in proper digestion. A personal regimen to treat hyperacidity can also include regular exercise, losing weight, and a balanced diet.
