A Natural Heartburn Remedy

There are two main opinions on stopping heartburn. The first trend is to go on the offensive, or, in other words, stop heartburn before it starts! Naturally the second opinion will be the other end of the see-saw…finding relief.

If we want to avoid heartburn, then go the prevention route adopting a proper diet for heartburn prevention and using common sense to avoid overeating.

Prevention is thought to be the most effective remedy for heartburn. Preventing chronic heartburn greatly diminishes the chances of other stomach problems from arising.

Push away from the table before you over eat! You will pay for it with a good case of heartburn.

Also, have a banana before your main meal. It will coat your stomach lining and keep acid at bay.

Even with the best intentions, our prevention regimen may fail us, making a heartburn home remedy necessary. We’ll look at two that are known to be effective.

One remedy is to dissolve a rounded teaspoon of baking soda in 4 ounces of water. Once you drink the water, relief is only a couple of burps away.

Another remedy that works is vinegar. A one ounce shot followed by a good drink of water often brings immediate relief. If drinking vinegar seems too harsh substitute a 50/50 mix of apple cider vinegar and water instead.
