Heartburn is something that I have never heard mentioned with affection.  Nobody seems to like heartburn and so it is no wonder that many seek out natural heartburn relief options.  Heartburn is something that can actually do damage other than just simply taking away your good nights sleep.

There are many people that lived before us and they too had to deal with heartburn and its uncomfortable side effects.  And of course they didn't have a pharmacy they could go to for the heartburn relief aisle.  They dealt with things in a natural way as that was all they had available to them.  Some would say that to get rid of heartburn you simply eat your meals with a cup of curd.  Curd is a good way to relax heartburn that has already started or simply prevent it from ever rearing its nasty head.

Something else that was used as a form of natural heartburn relief was to take a few basil leaves, maybe three or four, and chew on them.  Not only will it help with heartburn but it will also help you with nausea as well.  Cooking with a small amount of basil in your food could be a way to avoid heartburn.

Apple cider vinegar is also something that you can use.  Add two teaspoons along with two teaspoons of raw honey into a glass of water and drink up.  Not only will apple cider vinegar help you with your heartburn but also there have been books written on the positive side effects of apple cider vinegar.  It can help with everything from yeast infections to lowering your cholesterol.  It is one of natures amazing wonders.

Lack of sleep can also lead to heartburn.  The body needs at least eight hours of sleep per night so that it can work to rejuvenate itself.  So getting your fair share of sleep every night can help you in preventing heartburn.

There are some foods you can eat as well that will help you with your heartburn relief.  Watermelon, bananas, and cucumbers can help you with relief if you use them as a snack.  Not only will they help with your heartburn but they are an overall healthy snack that could easily replace chips or any other type of unhealthy snack.  Almonds are another food that works to reduce your heartburn symptoms.

Do you ever wonder why it is that some restaurants have peppermints available for you to eat?  It has little to do with your bad breath.  Peppermint is commonly used to help relieve heartburn and that is why it is there.  To nip it in the bud you might say.  And most people will eat the little peppermints without even thinking about the positive effects it can have.  They just don't want to go away with bad breath.

So you see, there are many forms of natural heartburn relief that you can use to give you the relief that you need.
