The purpose of this article is to recommend what you should do if your acid and alkaline test,(explained in my previous article "How to determine if your body has an Acidic or Alkaline Imbalance"), shows that your body is acidic.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Herbs- elder bark, hops, and willow.
  • Minerals- phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur.
  1. Step 1

    Determine which form of Acidosis you have. Is it metabolic acidosis or respiratory acidosis? Metabolic acidosis happens when there is too much acid in your body fluids due to chemical changes in your body. Respiratory acidosis happens when the lungs cannot remove carbon dioxide.

  2. Step 2

    If you have metabolic acidosis, some of the conditions and factors that could be responsible are, taking too many aspirins, large amounts of vitamin C, obesity, improper diet, anorexia, stress, malnutrition, and even anger.

  3. Step 3

    Respiratory acidosis happens if the lungs cannot remove carbon dioxide. Some of the causes may be due to asthma, bronchitis, or even an obstruction to your airway.

  4. Step 4

    In order for you to get your body back in balance, I would suggest using the herbs elder bark, hops, and willow. In my opinion these herbs are great for the disorder of acidosis.

  5. Step 5

    If you want some extra help, I would also suggest the minerals phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur. These minerals help to maintain proper pH levels.

Tips & Warnings
  • Eat a diet that is about 50% raw foods. these foods maintain the proper acid and alkaline balance. Fresh fruits such as citrus fruits, and vegetables, will reduce acidosis.
  • Stay away from animal protein, such as beef and pork, which will contribute to acidity.
  • ALWAYS check with your health care professional.
