Dhaniya Water for Acidity: An Old Kitchen Remedy Worth Trying
Dhaniya water for acidity: An old kitchen remedy worth trying · thestatesman.com

Acidity is a tummy problem that many grown-ups get from eating spicy food or feeling stressed.

A man named Acharya Balkrishna shared an old kitchen trick to help.

You take a little bit of coriander seeds, which are called dhaniya.

You boil them in water for a few minutes, then strain the water.

You can add a spoon of honey or mishri to make it taste nice.

People in Ayurveda have used coriander for thousands of years to cool the body.

It has natural bits inside called linalool and borneol that help calm the stomach.

Some scientists in 2016 also found it may help with stomach acid.

But the article says this drink is for small, everyday tummy troubles.

If someone is very sick or keeps having acidity, they should see a doctor, because the drink does not fix big problems.
