Natural Heartburn Remedies

When you start feeling a burning sensation in your upper abdomen, it’s time to use some heartburn remedies. This digestive problem occurs when your stomach acids come into contact with the esophagus lining and cause discomfort. Start learning now how to relieve heartburn using simple home ingredients and by making some dietary changes.

What Are Some Heartburn Remedies?

1. Avoid Milk

Some claim that milk can relieve heartburn, but the fats in milk can actually make the stomach produce more acid. This will make your heartburn even worse, especially for those who are lactose intolerant. Lessening or avoiding milk altogether will reduce your discomfort.

2. Add a Pinch of Ginger

Ginger can also make your heartburn worse if taken in large doses. A small amount can relieve inflammation and treat heartburn. Ginger inhibits acid reflux and has antibacterial and antiparasitic properties.

3. Use Baking Soda

Baking soda is a natural antacid that can neutralize stomach acid and give temporary relief from heartburn. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of baking soda in 8 ounces of water and drink. Baking soda can also help relieve pressure from bloating.

4. Try Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar (ACV) helps in digestion by breaking down fats and buffer the acid level in the stomach. Its acetic acid is weaker than the acid produced by your stomach. Mix 1-2 tablespoons of ACV into 8 ounces of water and drink it before meals.

5. Use Mustard

Mustard is beneficial to your body and helps treat heartburn. It neutralizes stomach acids, prevents the stomach from producing more acid, and aids in better digestion. You can make a mustard tea, or mix 2-3 teaspoons of yellow mustard with 1 glass of buttermilk for some quick heartburn relief.

6. Take A Teaspoon Of Honey

The viscosity of honey coats the esophagus to reduce the burning sensation of stomach acids. Taking 1 teaspoon of honey before a meal will reduce your chances of getting heartburn. You can also take honey with some cinnamon to soothe the discomfort of heartburn.

7. An Apple a Day


Apples have a lot of health benefits to your body, such as antioxidants and healing properties. Eating an apple before a meal creates an alkaline environment in the stomach to prevent heartburn. Only sweet apples are good for this remedy since green apples are more acidic.

8. Eat Some Bananas

Bananas are a great help in relieving symptoms of indigestion. They’re also an alkaline fruit that neutralizes the acid in the stomach and suppresses its acid secretion. Eat a banana before meals, or add them to your morning cereal for some quick and complete heartburn relief.

9. Drink Ginger Root Tea

Ginger on its own helps the body have a smooth digestion process and proper food absorption. It’ll also tighten the lower esophageal sphincter to prevent a back-flow of stomach acid. Taking ginger as ginger root tea will promote saliva production to prevent heartburn.
