Medically speaking, the condition of acidity is a broad term that covers a set of gastric symptoms. The main symptom among these is a burning sensation behind the sternum (heartburn) or in the upper abdomen. In medical terms, acidity is known as dyspepsia.
Scope Of Homeopathic Treatment for Acidity
It can be confidently asserted that homeopathic remedies for acidity are totally free from any side-effects and are extremely effective in treating this problem. The medicines used are all natural and, thus, free from any harmful components as they are derived from natural substances . This natural line and safety of homeopathic treatment can be quite reassuring for a person suffering from acidity
Causes of acidity:
Seen largely to be a lifestyle disease, the triggers for acidity are
- Binge eating.
- Consuming food stuff like chocolates, fatty food, spicy food, non-vegetarian food and coffee.
- Smoking, tobacco chewing, alcohol.
- Intake of medicines like aspirin, antibiotics, NSAIDs.
- Stress and depression.
- GERD (Gastro oesophageal reflux disease), peptic ulcer
Symptoms of acidity:
The symptom of acidity includes a burning sensation behind the sternum (heartburn) or in the upper abdomen, bitter/acrid burping, water brash (rising of acid contents of stomach in mouth), flatulence (gas), bloated feeling in the abdomen and associated headache.
Advantages of homeopathic treatment for acidity:
The homeopathic mode of treatment offers a complete cure of acidity with natural medicines. Homeopathic medicines for acidity are effective in treating both acute and chronic cases of acidity. The various antacids prescribed in the conventional mode offer only a temporary relief, while homeopathic treatment promises to give a permanent cure for acidity. Homeopathic medicines help in strengthening the sphincter at the junction of the oesophagus and stomach. This prevents the reflux of acid stomach contents into the oesophagus and throat, thus aiding in establishing a cure of acidity.
Recommended homeopathic medicines for acidity:
Some highly recommended homeopathic medicines for acidity are Carbo Veg, Natrum Phos, Robinia, Iris Versicolor, and Nux Vomica.
Carbo Veg is the best homeopathic medicine for acidity with gas and a bloated abdomen. Even in the case of belching, homeopathic medicines provide relief. Natrum Phos is highly useful for acidity with sour belching, sour water brash and sour vomiting. The next medicine, Robinia, is beneficial for heartburn with belching and water brash of an intensely acrid, bitter character. To use Iris Versicolor for curing acidity, the indicating feature is a burning sensation in the whole alimentary tract. And Nux Vomica is recommended for acidity resulting from eating heavy/spicy food, coffee, or alcohol. Iris Versicolor and Nux Vomica are also suggested for headache with acidity.
Homeopathic Treatment for acidity:
1. Homeopathic medicines for acidity with a burning behind sternum (Heartburn):
Some excellent homeopathic medicines for acidity with a burning behind the sternum are Carbo Veg, Robinia and Nux Vomica. Carbo Veg is well indicated when heartburn appears with sour belching. The abdomen also gets tensed up with flatus. The simplest of food worsens the condition. Robinia is a wonderful homeopathic medicine when retrosternal burning appears with intensely acrid eructations. Vomiting of sour, bitter fluid also accompanies this condition. And the last homeopathic medicine, Nux Vomica, is suitable when heartburn appears after taking coffee, alcoholic drinks, spicy or heavy food stuff.
2. Homeopathic medicines for acidity with burping/belching:
Some highly effective homeopathic medicines for acidity with excessive burping are Lycopodium, Natrum Phos, Robinia and Asafoetida. Lycopodium is selected when eructations rise up to the throat and cause burning for hours there.

The last medicine, Asafoetida, is the best choice for treating acidity with very loud and difficult belching.
3. Homeopathic Treatment for acidity with flatulence (gas) in the abdomen:
The best homeopathic medicines for acidity with excessive gas are Lycopodium, China and Raphanus. Lycopodium is very useful for acidity with a much bloated abdomen. Slightest amount of eating causes fullness and a distended abdomen from much gas. It is also effective when acidity results after taking farinaceous food like cabbage and beans. The gas is most marked in the lower abdomen. China is a wonderful remedy for acidity with gas in the whole abdomen. The abdomen is bloated. Belching accompanies but gives no relief. Walking gives relief from gas. Raphanus is an appropriate choice for acidity with obstructed (incarcerated) flatus. The flatus moves neither up nor down and remains obstructed in the abdomen.
4. Homeopathic medicines for acidity with water brash:

The most useful homeopathic medicines for acidity accompanied with a headache are Nux Vomica and Iris Versicolor. Nux Vomica is suitable for acidity with headache arising mainly after taking heavy food stuff. The most aggravating food stuff among these are spicy food, fatty food, coffee and alcoholic stimulants. Constipation may also accompany. The next medicine, Iris Versicolor, is indicated when burning is present throughout the gastrointestinal tract with a headache.
