To help acid reflux fast, several effective home remedies can provide quick relief:
- Drinking a glass of cold milk can quickly neutralize stomach acid and soothe the esophagus.
- Consuming a small amount of baking soda dissolved in water acts as a natural antacid to neutralize stomach acid rapidly.
- Drinking ginger tea or chewing a small piece of ginger helps reduce stomach acid and soothe the stomach lining.
- Eating a ripe banana can help neutralize stomach acid due to its natural alkalinity.
- Swallowing some air like a belch and holding it in can create a barrier to prevent acid from entering the esophagus.
- Drinking aloe vera juice before meals can reduce stomach irritation and acid production.
Additionally, elevating the head while sleeping, avoiding large meals, and eating smaller portions more frequently can help prevent rapid onset of acid reflux symptoms.
