What's an acid mantle?

answers to frequently asked questions about skin care
Our bodies have a natural covering called the acid mantle. It's composed of fatty acids from our perspiration and amino acids from our skin tissue. This acid mantle fights infection from bacteria that gather on the skin. The pH factor is a measurement of the percentage of hydrogen ions in the acid. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14, with 7 the the neutral point. Strong Skin Savvy Mist and Cream helps protect the acid mantle.

Do acid medications cure acid reflux?

HeartburnHelp.com: Heartburn and GERD FAQ
Heartburn medications control acid production in the stomach so that symptoms related to acid reflux don't occur, but these medications don't fix the anatomic cause of GERD. For example, if the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) that normally stops stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus is weak and stays open, acid from the stomach can push back into the esophagus, causing heartburn. The LES is strengthened after the minimally invasive surgery corrects the anatomical cause of GERD.

Why is heartburn sometimes called acid indigestion?

Tagamet HB200 - Heartburn Frequently Asked Questions
The burning sensation of heartburn is caused when the acids from your stomach travel up to your esophagus. The acids in your stomach are quite normal. In fact, that's what helps to digest your food. And your stomach has a protective lining that can shield against these acids. However, your esophagus does not have this lining and is very sensitive to gastric acid. Fortunately the symptoms of heartburn/acid indigestion can be treated with over-the-counter medications like Tagament HB 200®.

How do I check a system for acid?

Qwik Products
You can check the oil for acid (with any one of oil test kits on the market), or you can check the refrigerant for the acid using Mainstream's QwikCheck. I strongly recommend the Mainstream QwikCheck 5-second acid test of the refrigerant because it is accurate, fast and inexpensive. It will detect acid levels before they get to a harmful concentration. It works with all refrigerants regardless of the oil used, and will not give a false reading when used with Ester-based oils, such as POE oil.

How do I remove acid from a system?

Qwik Products
The best way of removing the acid is to flush it or free it from the liquid and hard surfaces that contain the acid using QwikShot™ Acid Flush, and let the filter-drier in the system remove the acid. A filter-drier does an excellent job of removing acid, the problem is that normally the acid that is trapped on the hard surfaces and in the oil and therefore the acid never effectively gets to the filter-drier.
