Informative read

I think in Indian households fennel seeds are most commonly used for acidity. Anethol is the active compound in fennel seeds that helps in GI muscle relaxation, reduces spams and eases acid reflux.

Trying these options rather than blindly jumping on to medications like antacids is much better. Too much blind dependence on medications can lead to more harm than benefits.

Informative. Well explained.

Yes, I tried fennel seeds and it definitely works as an antacid.

informative!!

Yes banana, cold milk and fennel seeds have been very effective

A lot of useful takeaways here.

Among this list, I have observed leafy green vegetables and yogurt useful in handling acid reflux. Interesting to know there are other home remedies also. I also feel like warm water in empty stomach or with lemon & honey can help in this regard.
