Hand Mudras for Acidity

Acidity defined as a set of symptoms caused by an imbalance between the acid secreting mechanism of the stomach and proximal intestine and the protective mechanisms that ensure their safety. The stomach secretes acid that is essential in the digestive process. This acid is useful in breaking down the food during digestion. When there is an excess production of acid by the gastric glands of the stomach, it results in the condition known as acidity. However, there are particular types of ulcers where acid secretion is either normal or even low. Acidity is responsible for symptoms like dyspepsia, heartburn and the formation of ulcers (erosion of the lining of the stomach or intestines). Acidity tends to have a much higher incidence in highly emotional and nervous individuals. It is also more common in the developed and industrialized nations though a recent increase in frequency has also occurred in the developing countries. Consumption of Alcohol, highly spicy foodstuffs, non-vegetarian diets, and NonSteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID's) also predispose to gastric acidity.
