Natural Remedies for Heartburn Relief

Most of us at one point or the other have experienced a very discomforting and sometimes painful burning sensation in the stomach. This burning sensation occurs when the natural functioning of the LES – lower esophageal sphincter is hampered that allows the juices that form during the digestive process to flow back into it from the stomach which ideally should be swiftly moving through the LES into the stomach.

This disturbed digestive process causes excess acid in the stomach leading to heartburn and stomach burning. While there are many over-the-counter drugs to cure this, Gas-O-Fast offers 100% Ayurvedic and side effect free  that contain digestive enzymes and remove acidity from the root, giving you instant relief from heartburn. Also, you can try these effective natural remedies for heartburn relief.

Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)
This all-rounder, magical kitchen ingredient cures heartburn and other stomach related problems. The presence of enzymes and digestive properties in ACV amp up the digestive process and help the body to smoothly breakdown food, thus allowing juices to flow in the right path. You can take one tablespoon of ACV with a glass of warm water every day to reduce the stomach burning sensation. You can also add honey if you like.

Caraway
Caraway is being used in many forms since ages to cure various health problems. It is very effective in reducing heartburn, bloating, stomach gas, and intestinal cramps. Caraway is also known to relieve constipation and helps in reducing weight. You can add caraway to the food while cooking or make a powder mixture of caraway, pepper, and fenugreek and consume a teaspoon after meals with water.

Peppermint Tea
This is not just some fancy tea but instead is a remedy full of antispasmodic and relaxant properties that promotes healthy digestion and no clogging of acids and gas in the stomach. Peppermint very effectively calms the stomach muscles and enhances the flow of bile which helps in digestion of fats. Boil a few peppermint leaves in water for approximately 15-20 minutes, strain the mixture, and drink it hot any time of the day. Peppermint tea is also extremely beneficial in relaxing your mind and soothing the senses.

Cold Milk
The easiest natural remedy for cure acidity / heartburn symptoms is to take a glass of cold milk before you go to bed or in breakfast. This home remedy for heartburn works magically to cure the heartburn and discomfort by restricting the formation of acid in the stomach and absorbing any excess acid and controlling any refluxes or burning sensations. Milk is enriched with calcium which hinders the creation of acid in the stomach and calms the body providing instant relief from the heartburn. Drink the milk cold and without any additives, not even sugar.

Cinnamon
Cinnamon is a wonderful heartburn cure and the simplest to live by. Being one of the easiest home remedies for heartburn, cinnamon works as a natural antacid and settles the stomach which enhances the digestion process and absorption of acid in the stomach. You can either take a pinch of cinnamon in lukewarm after every meal or drink cinnamon tea.

Buttermilk
Buttermilk or famously known as Chaas is also very helpful in neutralizing the acid in the stomach. The presence of lactic acid in buttermilk eases the muscles providing relief from acidity and heartburn. Sprinkle some black pepper and a few coriander leaves for better results and taste.

Green tea
Green tea is widely popular and also very effective when it comes to curing heartburn. Its anti-inflammatory properties neutralize the effect of acid in the stomach and calms the muscles. You can also add some honey preferably Manuka honey to your green tea to make a more effective home remedy for heartburn. Manuka honey contains antibacterial properties that help fight infection. You can buy green tea bags and manuka honey from the market and dip one tea bag in a cup of water until the extract is gained, then add honey to it and stir well. Drink this hot after 30 minutes of each meal for best results. 

Cloves
Cloves are carminative in nature and hence, are very useful in curing digestive disorders especially heartburn and acidity. You can take cloves and toss them on fire in a pan until they can be crushed and take a pinch with water post meals.
