I am a software professional, it is all about sitting around 10-12 hours in front of computers and doing brain intensive work. Not following proper exercise, life style and eating habbits. I started having having acidity problem and then it did not get better for a long time. I consulted so many doctor including MD, BAMS, ENT, Gastro doctor but all was in vain. It was not cured.
Sitting for long hours in the office or at one place can cause you acidity
Finally an ENT doctor suggested endoscopy of the throat and found that there is no problem with the throat but the real problem was the hyper-acidity which was caused due to life style, imbalance, sitting job and improper eating habbit. It was gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Doctors suggested some medicines like..
- Pentroprazole (anti acid)
- Diegene
- Magaldrate (which is antacid)
- Simethicone (which is anti-flatulent)
I took these regularly and got somewhat better. But then I decided to leave these because they are allopathic chemical based medicines.
By this time, I came to know the root cause of the problem i.e. high acid formation & decided to treat it myself with determination. I decided to start my home remedies.
- I stopped red/green spice, salt.
- I asked my wife not to add garlic, onion, cumin, asafoetida and any other hot spices in my food/subzi.
- I stopped hot tea, coffee, water
- II went to Panwari shop and bought a "Gulkand" packet of 1 kg (Started eating 1 spoon 3 times a day)
- I bought a Dabur "Pudeen Hara" from chemist IOnce in a day drinking after mixing 4 drops in a glass of cold water)
- I bought roasted grams (channe) from a shop (Keep eating few if working for office late nights)
- I bought 250gm Fennel from shop (Eating half spoon after every 1.5 hour)
- I bought belpatra (Aegle marmelos) tablets (Vital case Bilva capsule)
- OR Sandu Bilagyl Murabba (After mixing half spoon in cold water)
- I bought "Gond Katira" (Tragacanth Gum)
I started having all these things time to time and now my acid reflux problem is 90% better and cured..
