Share

Learn the natural remedies for heartburn. Check out the article we found over at Top 10 Home Remedies.

Heartburn is characterized by a burning sensation and pain in the stomach and chest (behind the breastbone). The burning sensation is caused by acidic stomach juices rising into the esophagus when the valve between the esophagus and stomach does not close properly. This is why heartburn often occurs after eating fatty, fried, or acidic foods.

Other common symptoms of this problem are gas, nausea, bloating, difficulty breathing and a sour taste in the throat and mouth. A variety of natural treatments can provide relief.

1. Baking Soda

Baking soda, also known as sodium bicarbonate, provides quick and easy relief from heartburn. Being a natural antacid, it works within minutes, giving you relief from heartburn pain.

  1. Just mix one teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water.
  2. Drink it for instant relief. You can also mix a few drops of lemon juice in this solution.

2. Fennel Seeds

Chewing fennel seeds several times a day will freshen your breath while also controlling the production of stomach acid.

You can also drink tea made from fennel seeds. To make this herbal tea, add two teaspoons of fennel seeds to a cup of boiling water, allow it to sit for 10 minutes and then strain it into a cup.

3. Mint

Mint is effective in treating indigestion and heartburn because it aids digestion and has soothing properties.

  1. Add one tablespoon of crushed mint leaves to a cup of water.
  2. Leave it for about 30 minutes.
  3. Drink it two to three times a day.

You can also chew fresh mint leaves to avoid heartburn. However, do not take mint if you are suffering from acid reflux.

4. Ginger

Fresh ginger provides relief from heartburn in two ways – it absorbs acid in the stomach and helps calm the nerves that contribute to heartburn.

You can use ginger as a spice in cooking, eat raw ginger pieces or drink ginger tea. This natural herb can be consumed regularly to prevent heartburn from recurring.

To make ginger tea:

  1. Add one teaspoon of freshly grated ginger to one cup of boiling water.
  2. Let it steep for a few minutes.
  3. Drink this herbal tea several times a day.
