Cures for Heartburn
There are tons of different cures for heartburn available in many forms ranging from simple do-it-yourself options at home to medications either prescribed from a doctor or available over-the-counter.
The more natural cures for heartburn include many options such as drinking apple cider vinegar or eating lemon rinds before eating something that would cause heartburn. Eating almonds or lying on your side are also ways to relieve the pain. Chewing ginger or drinking ginger tea can also help neutralize stomach acid.? Even drinking a glass of water can help flush out harmful stomach acids.? Papayas have also been found to contain a digestive enzyme that can be helpful for preventing and alleviating heart burn.? It helps to break down food faster, preventing pressure from building in the stomach.
One of the most important factors in curing heartburn is to monitor the condition carefully because it affects everyone’s body differently and cures for heartburn vary from case to case. Because different foods trigger heartburn attacks in different people, it is important to keep track of what causes it and the frequency of the occurrences.? Though foods effect everyone different, some common food triggers include caffeine, onions, garlic and citrus.? If there is a pattern showing a certain type of food causes heartburn, you may want to avoid those items completely. If you enjoy the foods that cause heartburn for you, it is easy to be prepared with any of the effective cures for heartburn available when you eat them.
Even a change in the amount you eat and how often you eat it can help.? Eating large meals just a few times a day can cause pressure to build as your stomach tries to digest huge amounts of food.? Smaller, more frequent meals prevent this pressure from building and helps keep heart burn at bay.? Another dietary change that can help is not eating right before bed, and putting a pillow under your head when sleeping.? Both these remedies deal with allowing gravity to keep food and acid in the stomach where it belongs.
Medications and over-the-counter cures for heartburn are easy to obtain as they are sold at any local grocery store or pharmacy.? The problem with over the counter medications is they aren’t meant to be taken in the long term.? They are by no means a permanent solution for heart burn, and only provide a band aid for a problem that may require a tourniquet.? Prescription medications can be very helpful, as they are made to target the specific cause of heartburn by neutralizing acid or stopping its production all together.? However, they are very costly and may even involve taking a pill every day for the rest of the patient’s life.
Finding the best cures for heartburn may be a challenge at first, but once you find the most effective form for you, treatment becomes very simple and easy to handle. For more information on heartburn relief, visit www.refluxremedy.com and view The Reflux Remedy Report.

Apple Cider Heartburn Cure
For more than 5000 years raw apple cider has been used as a natural remedy for many ailments, especially heartburn, acid indigestion and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
Did you know archaeologists recovered apple remains in Swiss Stone-Age lake dwellings and at a dig near Jericho in Jordan dating to 6500 BC? They also discovered dried apple rings in the tomb of Queen Pu-Abi (2500 B.C.E) in Southern Iran.
If you didn’t know about the powerful medicinal and healing qualities found in natural apple cider vinegar and you suffer from heartburn, it’s time to get with the program.
Apples are often overlooked like many of Mother Nature’s remedies because they are so common.
It is no coincidence that raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar contains a valuable nutrient rich base called “The Mother.”
“The Mother” of raw apple cider vinegar helps people with heartburn and acid reflux because it is naturally rich in readily available vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids, for starters.
The truth about heartburn, as with most dis-ease, is its root cause can be traced back to simple under-nutrition.
That’s right, your heartburn, acid indigestion and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), may be caused from simple nutritional deficiencies, which means your heartburn is NOT a drug deficiency.
Modern society differs from ancient times in fewer ways than you may first think. If we were to take away all the refrigerators, commercial farming practices and chemical food processing, you and I would find ourselves having to eat and live much like our ancestors did, depending on natural cures and wholesome home grown foods to provide us with everything we need.
Yet even if you unplug your refrigerator and stop buying commercially processed foods raised on artificial fertilizers, you still have to take the time to cultivate rich soils to produce the nutrient rich foods the ancient ones enjoyed.? It has been long known that artificial fertilization sterilized American soils to death about 80 years ago.
That is why you have heartburn and that is also why raw apple cider vinegar is so amazing. Even though apple farmers have been hybridizing apples and growing smaller less nutrient rich versions of the “original” apples, apple cider vinegar still contains “The Mother.”
Apple cider vinegar is a “super food” chocked full of the goodness of Mother Nature.
There is a new science of healing is called epigenetics. This new science is resurrecting the ancient ways of healing mind and body by simply reconnecting us from the DNA and cellular level to the environmental level and back again.
There is a built-in intelligence within you, which has hidden connections to the world that seems to be outside of you. When heartburn, acid indigestion or gastroesophageal acid reflux plague your daily life, that means something important has fallen out of balance.
Raw apple cider vinegar contains a perfect balance of fiber, flavonoids and antioxidants so vital for staying healthy and slowing down the aging process.
The pectin in the apple peel provides galacturonic acid, which reduces your body’s need for insulin.
In addition, apples are high in vitamin C and free-radical fighting Queretin beneficial for healthy cells.
French researchers found a flavonoid called “phloridzin” that may help protect post menopausal women from symptoms of osteoporosis and boron which strengthens bones.
So keep in mind that organic raw apple cider vinegar not only helps you defeat heartburn, acid indigestion and esophageal reflux diseases (GERD), it also helps restore and empower the hidden connections you have from the DNA , cellular level to “The Mother,” naturally . . . without drugs.
“To eat an apple going to bed, will make the doctor beg his bread.”
