Ease Heartburn Naturally: Top Home Remedies

I was suffering with debilitating heartburn for years. It was almost daily and so bad that I would dread doing anything physical because I knew it would ruin my day. Last summer it dawned on me (I'm a slow learner! ) that my heartburn could be a symptom of something bigger and I don't know where I was reading it but I happened upon a post about the liver and that hearburn and gas was a symptom of livers that need detoxing. I used milk thistle religiously for 3 months. I felt better within a couple of days. I still take it once in a while when I get gassy or after I've been using any medication.

I know this reply is 13 years later, but time flies you know! ACV stands for Apple Cider Vinegar and I've been using it for a few years. Yes, it can re-adjust your gastrinal system and eliminate heartburn. The brand I use I believe is the best out there, but since we aren't supposed to name the brands, I guess I'll just "braggs" about it. Also, if you take a teaspoon of raw unfiltered honey from the bees in your locale, you'll find that the hard taste of the vinegar is almost eliminated as you swallow it. And the honey from your local area will also get rid of your allergies.

I started having heartburn from eating sausage or citrus products. I took hcl tabs and it helped but didn't cure it. I went years without drinking milk because I brought into the vegan trend. Well once I started drinking milk a few times a week and eating yogurt I noticed my heartburn went away completely. I can now eat what I want. You can add it to your oatmeal or chai tea for breakfast.

I tried Apple Cider Vinegar before for heartburn it didn't work b/c I was using too much. I now use 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar w/mother and 1 tablespoon of raw honey in 12 ounces of hot water. one dose in morning and one in at night about bed time. working great so far have able to stop meds. only stopped meds for a few days so far. I have been diagnosed w/ hiatal hernia, that is causing heartburn. I will update if heartburn comes back.

I now take a small piece of papaya when I have acid reflux. It works instantly to stop the burn. As papaya is not always readily available where I live, I have found I can freeze the papaya in small chunks and this works as well.

I just started drinking 1/2 cup of aloe vera juice in the morning and before bed and my heartburn feels a lot better.

Mustard for Heartburn:

Seems to work fine. I'm not sure how long it works for but it's long enough to make me feel comfortable and seems fine.

All I've been doing is just getting a bit of dijon mustard (30% mustard seeds) on my finger and then quickly swallowing it with some water so it doesn't hit my tongue too much. Weirdly as long as it's only on one place on my tongue and goes quickly I don't really taste it much.

So yeah. That's what I've found :)

Lie on left side for GERD, heartburn, stomach virus, etc.

I have had stomach problems since birth with terrible heartburn. I have a hiatal hernia and GERD. When I can't afford NEXIUM because it's $1 per pill I use ACV but I also read somewhere that I should lie on my left side when resting and sleeping and it makes an unbelievable difference. It's also better for your heart and blood pressure, especially when pregnant. Let me know if it also helps ya'll.

Heartburn:

2 Tblsp ACV in hot water and honey to taste. Also take 1 tbsp yellow mustard right off the spoon.

Combine these 2 and it will work like a dream!

I have dealt with heart burn all my life and have tried many things including acv. Baking soda is by far the best. It is the world champ, make no mistake. It beats all else! It Also instantly fights Colds and the Flu.

Almonds made my heartburn worse. I guess one's personal cure for heartburn depends on the particular cause. After eating about 10 almonds I feel like I have a rock stuck in my upper stomach. Lots of pressure. Like I need to belch but none is coming.

Absolutely, celery helps everytime I have a heartburn, it's like pouring water over fire as soon as I eat it.

Heartburn: 1 stalk of celery does wonders for me! I can finally sleep when I feel awful before bedtime.

I take it straight as well with no problems.

Yesterday at the park my friend's daughter was uncomfortable with heartburn. I said I had some baking soda if she wanted to try it. (I try to keep a small container of baking soda in my purse at all times.) We put about ¼ teaspoon in about 4 ounces of water and she drank it down and it took care of her heartburn!

Next time you are at the store, pick up a box of baking soda and leave it in your car for emergencies. Not just heartburn - insect bites, bee stings, etc.

I started with horrible acid reflux right around the holidays, it was so bad that at one point, I thought I was having a heart attack. I have spent months and countless dollars on Nexium, Zegrid, Beano, TUMS, Rolaids, Activated Charcoal ...you name, I've tried it. I changed my diet but this past weekend, I didn't do so good (i.e. Thai food) and wow did I feel like I was dying all over again. I looked up foods that help for acid reflux and GERD. I ate a banana, applesauce, drank ACV diluted in water and had ginger tea. It helped a bit but then I read about mustard. Sure I like mustard, on hot dogs and burgers but the thought of just eating a spoonful by itself made me gag. my reflux was so bad at that point that I was willing to try anything so down the hatch it went and within minutes, NO MORE PAIN!! No more feeling like I had a lump in my throat, I was belching as much. I felt 95% better. I do see my GI next week but I will continue to use mustard in the meantime because it really did work!

I'm on some new medication for chronic, severe migraines and have developed heartburn for the first time in my life. It woke me up this morning at 2:00am in severe pain, and of course I had just run out of ACV!

Yellow mustard to the rescue, within minutes I had relief. A few hours later more heartburn, another TBS of mustard, and relief again. I'm so happy!
