Yoga poses to cures acidity and constipation  

Yogasanas practiced in order to combat acidity are as follows: Vajrasana, Yogamudras, Bhujangasana, Shalabhasana, Surya Namaskar, Makarasana, Shavasana, Jallundharbandha, Kunjalkriya, Pavanamuktasana, Halasana, Tadasana, Matsyasana, Ardhamatsyendrasana etc. In addition to the asanas and bandhas, correcting one's breathing technique also plays a major role in normalizing digestion issues. These asanas helps to free the uncomfortable gas accumulated in the stomach while also boosting the respiratory system. Pranayama along with deep mediation practiced in yoga greatly benefits those with acidity problems.

To get good results practice the Vajrasana half an hour after consuming either lunch or dinner. Vajrasana helps the digestive process and lessens the occurrence of excessive gas in the alimentary canal and prevents constipation. Vajrasana entirely gets rid of the main cause of acidity.

Doing Pranayama can relax and calm the stomach acids by providing the requisite amount of oxygen to the internal organs. Proper breath control ensures efficient working of the internal organs, especially the stomach. To counter the effects of the burning sensations associated with acidity, Shitali Pranayama, and Shitkari Pranayama are highly effective and can also prevent the occurrence of stomach ulcerations.

In addition to the yogasanas, it is important that you maintain a diet devoid of heavy and rich foods that can prove to be the cause of the uncomfortable conditions.
