Mint leaves are also considered to be a popular natural remedy for acidity. Mint leaves should be chewed on an empty stomach early in the morning. This should be continued for a month for complete relief from acidity. You can also try drinking mint juice after a heavy meal. This will help you to digest your meal properly.
