Heartburn Cures That Can Treat Your Acid Reflux Quickly And Effectively

By Jeff Martin

For all you know, the history of heartburn might go back to the time of Adam and Eve. Ever since Adam had to look for his own food after being banished from the Garden of Eden, heartburn was to stay with mankind ever after. Eve was slightly better off, surviving on raw honey and plenty of apples throughout the remaining days of her life and in doing so, saving her delicate esophagus from GERD (Gastro-esophageal Reflux Disease) or acid reflux attacks. However, men and women down the ages have not been spared for the faults of their first parents and heartburn has become a common ailment for mankind ever since. Taking cues from Eve however, we have tried using honey and apple cider vinegar to find relief from GERD induced heartburn.

However, as days progressed, people started experimenting with other remedies for heartburn, as a result of which some of the following heartburn cures were eventually formulated.

Eating your meals with a cup-full of curd is believed to cure heartburn. There could be a grain of wisdom in that concoction since curd works as a fairly good enzyme in digesting food, leaving no trace of acidity to reflux back into the esophagus.

Basil leaves also provide a natural cure for heartburn. Chewing on basil leaves after having your meal is supposed to relieve heartburn.

Apple cider vinegar as cited above mixed with raw honey is supposed to be one of the best cure of chronic heartburn patients. For effective results only the cloudy part of the vinegar should be considered and mixed with two teaspoonfuls of raw honey in a glass of water.

For immediate relief you can try a teaspoonful of baking soda in a glass of water, in which a drop of lime has been added.

You can also try a teaspoonful of yellow mustard for immediate relief.

Dark brown sugar (you need to take no more than one tablespoon every morning) offers a great way to fight heartburn.

Following Eve’s example, having a red apple after dinner everyday will save anyone from the agonies of heartburn.

Fresh ginger or ginger tea is a good antidote for heartburn.

A glass of chilled milk also prevents heartburn to a great extent.

If you are suffering from heartburn, you need to find a cure quickly. And you are not alone – there are millions like you all over the world who are suffering and who too need a cure. So never neglect heartburn because the pain and the discomfort can be really bad, and will surely lead to sleepless nights. Why suffer when you can get your heartburn cured safely, quickly and effectively?

But just the above listed remedies cannot cure GERD heartburn; these remedies can give you some relief at the most, but not a cure. You also need to make some lifestyle changes as per the holistic treatment to help you cure GERD completely. You need to have several smaller meals in a day instead of having one large meal. You have to cut out on fast food and fatty foods, as they are the best pals of heartburn. Conventional medications can treat the symptoms of the problem, but when it comes to curing the actual cures, they too fail. Holistic remedies on the other hand, treat the body as whole and other than prescribing the right diet and life style changes, the remedies also reach the actual cause and eliminate it completely. And that is the reason why holistic remedies are so effective in curing heartburn.
