Heartburn is extremely uncomfortable yet extremely common, and it's not always clear what causes

it.

For some people, heartburn may be attributed to certain foods or eating habits, for others

heartburn may be attributed to tight clothing, excess weight, or smoking.

There are also many different ways to relieve heartburn, from changing your eating habits,

adopting a new sleeping position, and trying over the counter or prescription medicines.

Keep watching to learn more about how to relieve heartburn.

Sip a cup of herbal tea after meals.

Some studies have found that chamomile is effective against heartburn symptoms when

taken after a meal.

Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties, which may be why it help to relieve heartburn

for some people.

Try chamomile tea to see if it works for you.

Ginger has also been found effective against heartburn.

You can make your own ginger tea by adding a few slices of fresh ginger to boiling water.

Cover the water and allow the ginger to steep for 30 minutes before drinking.

For best results, drink ginger tea about 20 minutes before a meal.

Mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with water and drink the solution.

Your stomach produces hydrochloric acid in order to digest food.

This is a strong acid which is very corrosive, and causes the burn in your chest.

You can neutralize some of the acid by consuming a base, such as baking soda mixed with water.

Compared with over the counter antacids, this homemade medicine doesn't taste very good.

But drinking a mixture of baking soda and water will bring the pH of the liquid in your

stomach and help relieve the burn.

Do not use this method if you are on a low sodium diet because baking soda is very high

in sodium.

Stop eating at least three hours before bedtime.

Plan to have your last meal of the day at least three hours before bedtime, since your

body requires about two hours to digest the food that you have eaten.

If you lay down while there is still food in your stomach, you have a higher chance

of getting heartburn.
