My husband is having heartburn, he doesn't want to take medecines.is there any home remedies that really help

Question

actually i read about vinegar and other stuffs. does it really help. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Hi there...

Seems to me like he may not be digesting his food properly.

He should try taking a digestive enzyme supplement before every meal and snack to help break down his food. He is right on in not wanting to take "medicine" for the problem, as many prescription and over the counter medications can actually compound the problem. It's fraudulent advertising at best, potentially criminal...but that's another story...

Check out www.wellzymes.com - these are natural products and are also 100% vegetarian. I'd try the digestive health product to begin with - just taking a digestive enzyme with my food really helped me out.

Also, the gastric ease product includes digestive enzymes, but also has marshmallow root and aloe vera extracts to help soothe the gastrointestinal lining - you may actually try one of those extracts by themselves in the meantime.

Hope this helps!

I'm not sure how "safe" it is, especially if you may have high blood pressure. When I was pregnant 32 years ago, the movie ROOTS was on TV and we made dessert every night. I would go to the kitchen and mix a heaping teaspoon of baking soda in a cold glass of water and stir until it was almost clear. Drink it down, fast, it doesn't taste so good, but better than heartburn. In a few minutes, you'll burp and it will release all the bloated heartburn. Check with your doctor first. Don't lay on your right side. Elevate the head of your bed.

Answer 3

911callgirl pretty well covered things but forgot to mention that peppermint does a decent job. After all; that's why so many restaurants have them available. On a more serious note if the heartburn is a regular occurance he needs to see a doctor! It's fairly common for heart trouble to show up as heartburn (I learned the hard way!).

Answer 4

ORGANIC VINEGAR. One teaspoon at the onset of his heartburn. Get the book by Kevin Trudeau Natural Cures, Things THEY don't want you to know. You will be totally amazed and somewhat obsessed after you read it. You can find it on EBay or at Amazon.com. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

First you should know whether or not your husband has "simple heartburn". That it is not associated with other symptoms or conditions such as an ulcer. You are on the right track with the vinegar....raw organic apple cider vinegar 2-4 TB before meals(you can get this in capsule form at a health food store), digestive enzymes, acidophilus bifidus (in Kefir [like yogurt] also at a health food store,eat more raw fruits & veggies & finally have him try stress reducing techniques. Vinegar is a weaker acid than that of the ph in your stomach(ph 1-2) and thus thoretically it would make the contents of your stomache less acid which would lessen the irritation of the stomache wall ---> where the pain is coming from. For bad heartburn try taking 1-2 tabs of Alka Seltzer GOLD dissolved in a glass of water (not any of the others)-this too helps neutralize the acid in your stomach. Hope this helps. If he hasn't seen a doctor yet he should be checked out before trying home remedies.

Answer 6

Ginger Ale works best for me. But any carbonated soda can help. Something about the way the carbination reacts with the acid.

Milk is actually doesn't work as well because the body processes it as a solid and generates more acid.

Answer 7

Aloe Vera juice is usually effective. But he may just have a hiatal hernia - if so, he should be careful not to recline or lie down for an hour after eating or drinking, so the acid/stomach contents don't flow up into the esophagus.

Answer 8

GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR

everything being listed above are only temporary fixes, none of which are solving the problem of WHY he has heartburn.

First you must ask yourself why is his body producing too little or much acid.

go to a CHIROPRACTOR, if there is an iterference of signals from his brain to his stomuch, he will not produce the correct amount of acid. For example, if he eats a cheeseburger, but his brain thinks its an apple, it will not be digested properly.

these nerves exit the spine through the vertebrea, if there are misalignment at that particular spot the nerves will be compromised, thus interfering with the signals from the brain...

Answer 9

Chronic heartburn is usually from acid reflux - stomach acid is getting past the little valve and into your esophagus. You also should know some natural ways to treat your heartburn. Learn them here https://bitly.im/aMGp0

The most immediate thing you can do is to stop drinking coffee and cola. Smoking is not good either, but that might be harder to stop. Don't over-eat. Don't lie down too soon after eating. Don't burp too much - this carries acid up with the burp.

heartburn the most common symptom of acid reflux disease (also known as gastroespohageal reflux disease, or GERD). Heartburn feels like a burning pain in the center of the chest. It is caused by acid from the stomach backing up into the esophagus. is a symptom of acid reflux disease (GERD) Also known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease

Milk. Heartburn is stomach acid, so find a good base to counter act it like Milk. I like mine with ovaltine!
