Salam Alaikum sisters 🌸 I hope you all are feeling well.
Recently, I've received a few similar questions. One of the most common questions is about how to reduce stomach acid, reflux, or GERD symptoms. It can't be answered in 2 sentences as each case is very individual. In addition to what you eat, pay attention to your environment, emotional state, and how you rest, sleep, and work.
I personally do not encourage the use of antacids and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) like omeprazole and lansoprazole. Stomach acids are necessary for digestion. Treatment is complex, and everything is important. Since stomach acids are not usually measured for everyone who suffers due to the harshness of the methods, and usually, people are suffering from low stomach acid, as a first aid I can recommend two simple methods to naturally help with symptoms like heartburn, sour taste in the mouth, etc.:
1. Breathe deeply and slowly through your open mouth at least 10 times. It's better to sit as some people can feel dizzy. The most important thing is not to rush.
2. Perform stomach point massage on your palm. I highly recommend massaging the point on your palms as shown in the video, each time before eating.
These natural methods are not only cheap but also work as a first aid to reduce symptoms.
