11 Ways to get rid of heartburn naturally

Have you ever had a heartburn? It gives you a burning sensation that causes discomfort behind the right breastbone. It’s caused by acid reflux triggered by the inappropriate relaxation of muscles that allow the entrance of food in the stomach. The acid goes from the stomach to the esophagus giving you a heartburn.

Treat this condition naturally:

1. Almonds
Eat almonds after your meals to get rid of the feeling. These nuts neutralize acids in your stomach and relieve pain. You need 3-4 almonds after your meals. Make sure you don’t eat too much.

2. Apples
Antacids in apples relieve the discomfort and prevent heartburn.

3. Apple cider vinegar
Consume raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar to reduce the reflux. Add 3 teaspoons of vinegar in a glass of water.
Drink this before your meals. If your condition gets worse, skip this remedy.

4. Chamomile macerate
Drink chamomile macerate half an hour before going to bed to reduce the inflammation in your stomach. This tea also reduces stress, also known as a trigger for heartburn. Chamomile neutralizes acid in stomach and helps you sleep well at night.

5. Baking soda
Add a teaspoon of baking soda to a glass of water, and drink this to reduce the acids. Baking soda solutions neutralize acids.
Don’t use more than four teaspoons of baking soda per day, and use this for one week.

6. Aloe Vera juice
Drink half a cup of Aloe Juice before your meals to reduce inflammation and soothe your stomach and esophagus.

7. Ginger macerate
Drink a cup of ginger macerate twenty minutes before your meals to relieve the symptoms. To make this macerate you need 2 cups of water and some ginger – let them sit 6-8 hours to macerate, and drink the tea.

8. Mustard
Minerals and vinegar in mustard relieve the burning sensation. It neutralizes acids and relieves the painful sensation.

9. Sleep on an incline
Elevate your head by placing blocks under the bed where you lay your head. In this way you will defy gravity and food won’t get into your esophagus.
You can also place a wedge-shaped pillow under the mattress. Don’t go to bed right after your meal.

10. Loose clothes
Clothes that are tight in the waist area may give you acid reflux. The pressure pushes stomach acids up. Opt for lighter and comfortable clothes.

11. Observe
Observe the changes in your body to determine the real cause of your heartburn. Check up on your dairy intake, medication, food, spices and clothes.

Final words
Soothe your acid reflux naturally, and avoid over-the-counter medication.
