Hydrochloric acid is used in the body to help digestion and kill bacteria. However too much acid can cause indigestion and we use indigestion remedies to neutralize excess acids. An indigestion remedy contains a base such as magnesium hydroxide, which reacts to form a neutral compound and raises the pH of the stomach.
