Acid reflux could occur when we eat too much and too fast, with heavy, spicy and acidic foods aggravating the problem. Drinking plenty of water with each meal with abstaining from smoking and alcohol could help reduce acid reflux. Having a meal 3 hours before bedtime helps lower acid reflux. It would also help to lower acid reflux with wearing loose fitting clothes that are less restrictive at the waist.

Home remedies like taking a glass of water in which baking soda has been added would help get over acidity. Similarly taking 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in 1/3rd glass of water or even sprinkling apple cider vinegar over a meal helps. Making ginger in the form of ginger tea, ginger root, ginger powder a part of your daily diet also helps.

Do consult your doctor if these symptoms worsen in spite of home remedies.
