Acidity is always a task to deal with it occurs when the gastric glands produce huge amounts of acid in your system which is more than what's needed for digesting your food. This then leads to a burning sensation in your stomach. Acidity happens because of many reasons and sometimes even due to caffeinated beverages on an empty stomach. Stress, abnormal eating habits, alcohol and lack of physical activity could also contribute to acidity.

Nausea, bad breath, constipation, burning sensation and restlessness are a few symptoms of acidity. Although, you should never lie down when you suffer from acidity as it can worsen the situation even more. You can take medication for the same or even try some natural ingredients to get rid of it. Some of the natural ingredients are buttermilk, apple cider vinegar, basil leaves, cinnamon and cloves. These have the ability to provide you with instant relief. Out of all these, cloves are the ones that are of most use.

Cloves can help you gain good digestion and also provide you with nutrients. Add cloves to your curries or any other food item and it will help you in preventing acidity. You can also mix equal amounts of cardamom and cloves to prevent the condition. Cloves help in dismissing gas and eases out acidity. It can also improve saliva production and reduces muscle contractions in the digestive tract. If nothing at all, you can simply chew on a clove or two to do away with heartburn. Consuming two to three cloves right when you realise you have acidity will give you an instant relief as the juice of cloves goes directly in your system and reacts faster. You can even consume crushed cloves with cardamom which will freshen your bad breath and even work on acid trouble.
