Natural Home Remedies for Heartburn:

1.Ginger.Ginger is renowned for its medicinal properties, it can ease indigestion, heartburn, an upset stomach and it is an anti-inflammatory. If you are using fresh root ginger, chew a one inch piece before a meal, or make a tea (To make ginger tea, grate a teaspoon of ginger root, stir it into boiling water, and leave for fifteen to twenty minutes and strain) and drink it afterwards.Ginger capsules are also available, take two after food..

2.Bicarbonate of soda.This is a widely used ingredient in home remedies.
Stir a quarter to half a teaspoon into a glass of water and drink it slowly. It will ease heartburn, indigestion and trapped wind.

3. Cider vinegar.Stir a teaspoon of this (apple Cidar Vinegar) into a glass of water and sip it slowly after a meal. It has a really unpleasant taste so you might want to add some honey in to make it bearable.

4.Boiled water.Many people swear by this remedy, simply sip a cup of water that has been boiled. Boiling removes the impurities from water, and drinking hot water
will help to clean the inside of the body. Sip it slowly.

5.Peppermint tea.Widely used as a cure for indigestion, try to drink three cups a day. Do not use peppermint to try and cure indigestion, it can make it worse. Chew
your food slowly and thoroughly, your food needs to be coated in saliva before it reaches your digestive systemTry not to drink twenty minutes before or after you
eat, drinking dilutes your digestive juices.

6.Drink milk. For persistent heartburn, sip a little chilled skim milk every 1 to 2 hours. Casein, the protein in milk, binds capsaicin -- the hot stuff in many dishes -- and the milk helps wash acid back down into the stomach.

7.Jaggery -Suck a small piece of jaggery to get relief from hyperacidity and heartburn.

8. Almonds- are quite effective in treating heartburn; chew few almonds when you experience heartburn.

9.Basil- Chew some basil leaves(tulsi) if you feel acid problem in your stomach

10.Fennel seeds- are a very powerful not to mention aromatic herb which is well known to help relieve many digestive conditions. It contains Anethole which helps suppress stomach spasms. Take about a half teaspoon of Fennel Seeds and chew them after every meal

11.Chew some gum -- but not mint. Chewing gum (make it sugar-free) for an hour stimulates swallowing, which reduces acid reflux. Just choose any flavor but mint, which is actually a heartburn trigger. It can relax the valve that's supposed to keep stomach acid from creeping upward into your esophagus.

11.Take a walk. It’s a great way to burn off some of the calories you just consumed, and it cuts the amount of time that stomach acid touches the esophagus. Incentive to keep going: The benefits last as long as the walking does. So you can walk and chew gum....
