The ultimate home remedy for heartburn is Organic Apple Cider Vinegar. You say WHAT???? VINEGAR IS AN ACID!! Yeah true, but heartburn is caused by an inbalance of acid in your stomach. Apple Cider Vinegar will help to restore your PH and bring you acid levels back to normal. DO NOT USE MILK!!! Milk works much the same way antacids work. It neutralizes stomach acid which makes digestion more difficult. In short terms, milk makes it worse.

Finding out what is the cause of your heartburn is the first step to helping to ease it. Try keeping a food diary for a few days and note down how you feel after eating certain foods. Foods that are commonly found to irritate the stomach are sugar, wheat, refined white flour (bread, pasta, pastries) but some people have reactions to tomatoes, red peppers and other fruit and vegetables.

Many people eat on the go – they either don’t have or don’t make the opportunity to sit down, relax, chew and digest their meals. This is an important part of digestion, as your saliva helps break the food down into a more digestible form for your stomach. Stress is also a contributing factor in heartburn as it tends to ‘clamp’ the body’s functions – this affects the natural, healthy function of digestion, among many other things.

Try Peppermint tea, one cup with each meal. It’s available in most supermarkets and health food stores in tea bag form. Peppermint is a digestive and helps to calm inflammation in the digestive tract. Another option is Chamomile tea, which is also anti-inflammatory. If you continue to get heartburn, try Slippery Elm. This is ground tree bark which has a wonderfully soothing effect on the digestive tract. It is available both as a powder and in tablet form, neither of which are unpleasant but the tablets are easier to carry with you.

If you’ve kept a food diary and cut down on alcohol, sugar and white flour products and still can’t seem to pin down what is causing your heartburn, it’s a good idea to see your GP.

Blanched almonds! They are good for you and they really do stop the heartburn! When I was pregnant (many years ago) I kept a package next to my bed and in my purse at all times. I ate a hand full anytime I had heartburn – day or night. Maybe someone else who reads this can explain why it works – all I know is it does. :}

remedy answers:

Try drinking some whole milk. Milk is a base and tends to neutralize the acid.
