Natural Heartburn Remedies

There are many everyday items in our kitchen cupboards which make excellent natural heartburn remedies. Everyone has one which usually works for them and because they are natural products you need not worry about harmful side effects.

Here are six popular examples which, you may like to try if you have not yet found a remedy which works for you.

1. Probably one of the best known is distilled white vinegar - merely take a tablespoon when you feel symptoms begin and it will usually do the trick.

2. There are quite a few foods which if eaten when you feel heartburn starting will help to neutralise the acid and ease your symptoms. These include - white potatoes, carrots and apples.

3. If you find that you often suffer an attack of heartburn after lunch an excellent remedy which you can easily take to the office are unsalted raw almonds. Consuming between 5 and 10 of these can work wonders!

4. Something else you could take to the office or carry in your brief case are peppermint sweets. Sucking one of these can often help win the battle against heartburn - however your dentist may not be too impressed!

5. Another great natural heartburn remedy - one which my Granny always swore by is to drink a solution of baking soda and water. This is an effective way to neutralise the stomach acid and relieve pain and discomfort.

6. This one is my personal favourite because I know it works for me - MILK. Yip, a glass of semi skimmed milk can really help. For me it has to be one of the best natural heartburn remedies.

Whilst these natural heartburn remedies are far better than over the counter and prescription medicines they are still only REMEDIES - they do not get to the real cause of the problem. Who wants to take spoonfuls of vinegar on a daily basis?

We have looked at the natural heartburn remedies which we can use when symptoms begin to appear. However, as the title of this module suggests surely prevention is better than cure.

Whether we like it or not the only way to prevent the pain and discomfort of heartburn is to look at our lifestyles and eating habits, establish what is actually triggering the heartburn symptoms and do our utmost to eliminate these factors from our lives.

Where do I start?

The starting point should be diet as this is usually the main cause of the problem.

It may be useful to keep a diary for a week or two. Note what you have eaten throughout the day and if your heartburn symptoms appear after particular foods.

The most common causes of heartburn are spicy foods, fatty foods, fizzy drinks, alcohol and certain fruits and vegetables - tomatoes being a particular problem to some people.

Once you have done this you can begin to cut certain foods from your diet - probably doing this one at a time would be best. Continue with the diary but this time note which foods you have avoided and if your symptoms were different or had been reduced.

This process takes a bit of time and effort on your part but, if you can reduce your heartburn symptoms by a process of elimination in your diet surely this is one of the best natural heartburn remedies around!

We all lead very busy lives and often find ourselves stressed, tired and with very little time to prepare and eat proper, regular meals. How many of us reach for a packet of cookies or a chocolate bar or head to the nearest takeaway to buy something we can eat on the move like say - a kebab?

We have all been there at some time but, if you are a chronic heartburn sufferer you really need to think again. With this type of life style no natural heartburn remedy on earth will resolve your problem nor will over the counter or prescription medicines.

It Is Time To Change!

Here are some lifestyle factors which can in fact be the root cause of your heartburn problem.

1. Take time out to eat a proper meal at a leisurely pace - chewing your food properly is very important.

2.. How much water do you drink? Too little will not help heartburn sufferers. Keep yourself properly hydrated with around 8 glasses of water per day. Remember there is no need to spend a fortune on fancy bottled waters - tap water is just fine.

3. Smoking can also make the symptoms of heartburn worse. The only solution - QUIT. It may be easier said than done but well worth the effort for your complete wellbeing and that of those around you.

4. Lack of exercise can make the whole digestive system sluggish and in turn make your heartburn condition worse. Getting some exercise two or three times per week can make a huge difference.

5. Try to make time to allow yourself to destress. You maybe have not made the connetion between heartburn and stress but believe me there is one. Try relaxing in a hot bath or listening to some soothing music or even taking up yoga or aroma therapy.
