Question

Why are sodium bicarbonate and lemon juice used during indigestion?

Answer 1

Answer:

I think this is the best answer

Answer 2

Answer:

Sodium bicarbonate and lemon juice are used during indigestion to neutralize the pH of stomach acid, HCl.

Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate being basic in nature and lemon juice rich in citric acid is acidic in nature.

So a combination of this would neutralize the pH and changes it into an acceptable range.

Taking both together can control both acid reflux and acidity symptoms.

However, care should be taken to mix them in appropriate proportions to avoid any further acidity or alkalinity of the stomach digestive juices.
