Why is lime juice given during acidity when it is itself an acid?

Acidity is caused when an excess of acids is produced in the stomach. Although lemon juice is very acidic, but when it is mixed in small amounts with water, it can have an alkalizing effect when digested. This can help neutralize the acid in the stomach, giving relief to the patient.
