Burning sensation in the chest and stomach, sour belching, nausea and feeling heavy after eating food are symptoms of acidity. Fennel and sugar candy can be very helpful in getting relief from acidity.

The Ministry of AYUSH, Government of India provides solutions to acidity in Ayurveda. Consumption of fennel and sugar candy is a very beneficial and safe solution to get relief from the increasing problem of acidity. This home remedy not only soothes stomach irritation but also strengthens the digestive system.

According to experts, fennel has a natural cooling effect, which balances the increased acid in the stomach. Chewing fennel seeds increases the secretion of saliva in the mouth, which helps in digesting food. Also, the element called anethole present in it reduces gas, swelling and stomach pain. The sweetness and coolness of sugar candy pacifies Pitta dosha, which is the main cause of acidity.

Lightly roasting fennel seeds and mixing equal amount of sugar candy in it and chewing it after meals or taking it with lukewarm water not only provides instant relief from acidity but also relieves the complaints of indigestion and heaviness.

Ayurvedacharya explains that the mixture of fennel and sugar candy is a solution to acidity without any side effects. It is safe for everyone from children to the elderly.

Apart from providing relief from the problem of acidity, fennel is also helpful in removing many other problems. Chewing fennel produces saliva in the mouth, which kills bacteria. This removes bad breath. Drinking fennel water controls appetite and increases metabolism.

It is helpful in burning fat, which also controls weight. This is very special for women also. It also provides relief from pain and irregularities in periods and cramps. It helps in balancing hormones. Besides improving eyesight, it is also beneficial for skin and hair.
