There are a number of food items that will make your summers less acidic such as increasing the intake of plain water, lemon juice, coconut water, etc. But did you know that Kokum Fig Sharbat is also beneficial in dealing with acidity? The dark-purple coloured fruit that is indigenous to the Western Ghat is usually known for snacking because of its tarty flavour but certain properties of the fruit help in improving the digestion as well.
