For some people it is chronic. For others Acid Reflux is only an occasional problem. It matters little which is your situation. When it hits you want a quick fix for heartburn.

The following tips will help you get immediate relief. What you really want is a real cure, and that actually is possible naturally. But for now try these ideas.

1. Chew gum. Chewing gum causes your glands to produce more saliva. As this saliva flows down your esophagus, it will help flush down the stomach acids which are giving you trouble. Some people have trouble with peppermint, so watch which gum flavor you choose. Sugar free is best.

2. Suck on hard candy. Lemon drops, or other hard candy will do the same thing as chewing gum. You may be saying “why not just drink some water?” You can, of-course, and it will help some, but it does not have the same properties as saliva and therefore does not do as good a job. Saliva has bicarbonate properties and therefore helps digestion.

3. My Dad’s favorite relief came from a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda mixed in a glass of water. For him it seemed to work fairly well. It helped me also, but, I had more trouble with the taste than Dad did.

4. A fake apple-tini. In a glass of warm water, mix a tablespoon of apple-cider vinegar. The vinegar will have the same effect as the baking soda to neutralize stomach acid. Not gonna get there as an appletini substitute I’m afraid, but perhaps you can use your imagination! 220

5. There are herbs you can make into tea. The best way is to make a guartor so ahead and just keep it on hand for when you need it. Use ginger, oregano or basil, or a combination if you like, and be sure to let it steep for at least half an hour.

You can use these natural quick fixes for heartburn whenever it strikes. But, realize they are just temporary solutions to a serious problem. Use these as needed while you cure your heartburn. That’s right, CURE!
