alkalinize
Make less acidic
To alkalinize is to make something alkaline—to raise its pH above neutral.
The term appears in chemistry, medicine, and health contexts: Certain foods are said to alkalinize the body.
Doctors may alkalinize urine to treat specific conditions or prevent kidney stones.
Also spelled alkalinise (British).
