Neutralisation is the reaction of an acid with a base that results in the pH moving towards seven. It is a useful process that occurs in everyday life such as in the treatment of acid indigestion and the treating of acidic soil by adding lime. When an acid is neutralised, its pH increases towards seven.

Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which acid and a base react quantitatively with each other.
This neutralisation makes the stomach contents less corrosive. This can help to relieve the pain associated with ulcers and the burning sensation in acid reflux. When antacids work on stomach acid, they can produce gas which may cause wind (flatulence).
