Hyperacidity can be treated using Probiotics to fight off the invasive H. Pylori bacteria.
The diet which is to be maintained is rich in Vitamins and other elements that damage the H.Pylori and makes the stomach an unfavorable habitat for them. The diet is also devoid of minerals that assist the growth of the bacteria.
The final component of the Natural Triple Therapy is a very specific and accurate combination of multiple anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory herbs with a wider healing action apart from eradicating this notorious bug.
