What helps are herbs that decrease stomach acid: licorice root, meadowsweet, chamomile and lemon. You might also take herbs that absorb excess acid: slippery elm, marshmallow, flax and fenugreek seeds.
Since the malic and tartaric acids in carrots and apples also neutralize stomach acid, I like to combine the juices of these vegetables with the herbs to make an extra-tasty tea. Also chamomile, marshmallow, licorice, slippery elm, calendula, garlic, wild yam and Saint-John's-wort protect the stomach from its own acid and also reduce inflammation and infection of the lining.
I originally stumbled on a formula for heartburn years ago, I will post below.
Heartburn Formula
1 teaspoon each chamomile flowers, lemon balm leaves and licorice root
½ teaspoon slippery elm bark
¼ teaspoon each fennel seeds and catnip leaves
1½ cups boiling water
1½ cups carrot or apple juice (optional)
Combine herbs and pour boiling water over them. Steep for at least 15 minutes, then strain out herbs and add juice. Drink 1 cup after each meal. Stored in the refrigerator, this formula will keep for a few days.
I am almost sure that you can find all these herbs at this site called Ancient Wisdoms and its reasonably priced. Hope that helps..

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/aMA9y
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

Forget the meds (which just causes other problems)-one visit to an acupuncturist and they will reverse the flow of your digestion so that what now fluxes up goes down and thus, no more acid reflux. It worked for me!

There are two possibilities, 1. The nerve outflow to the stomach is inhibitted, (From the dorsal 8/9 outlet from the spine), go see an Osteopath or a Chiropractor. 2. You are ingesting food or drink that your body is allergic to. Search for Natural Allergy testing at Home, or freedomfromexcema.com

I'd try raw organic apple cider vinegar before I tried meds. I used to go to bed every night with heart burn. Since taking raw apple cider vinegar before dinner, this no longer is the case. It has to be raw, not the processed stuff. It can usually be found in the organic section of many grocery stores. I buy braggs.

I 've always had horrible stomach problems and the one that gets rid of it all for me is Maalox for stomach and anti-gas. One time I had heartburn for days (from drinking sweet liquor) I took that and it ended.
