Natural Heart Burn Remedies

Although there are many over the counter and prescription medications available for burn heart relief, a natural burn heart remedy may be just as effective and cause fewer side effects. Most people experience heart burn occasionally, even those who have a healthy diet and active lifestyle.

One natural burn heart remedy is fennel seed. You probably have some in your spice rack. You can make a soothing tea using one or two teaspoons of fennel seeds in eight ounces of water. Drinking the tea may provide burn heart relief. Another natural heart burn remedy is peppermint. You will often see peppermint oil listed as an ingredient in over the counter medications. Peppermint oil may provide burn heart relief and relieve feelings associated with gas or bloating. Fennel seeds and peppermint have been used by Native Americans and Europeans as a burn heart remedy. Some people experience relief from a peppermint stick or candy, but these often contain sugar and may only contain peppermint “flavor” and not peppermint oil.

If you like rhubarb, chewing on a piece may provide burn heart relief. Rhubarb, when in season is available in many grocery stores. It is fairly easy to grow, as well if you have a garden, but it does not keep well and has a very short season. You could chop it and freeze it, but you will not get the quick relief that you can get from peppermint. Rhubarb was used by Native Americans as a burn heart remedy and for indigestion.

Heart burn occurs when stomach acids leak into the lower throat or esophagus causing a burning sensation in the throat or chest area. Chronic heart burn symptoms should be reported to your doctor as this could indicate more serious conditions. Occasional heart burn may be relieved by neutralizing the stomach acid. Water, a little milk or a calcium supplement may provide burn heart relief. Sometimes the best burn heart remedy is prevention. Overeating, spicy foods, caffeinated beverages, alcohol and even stress can lead to symptoms of heart burn. It is not always possible to avoid them all. You can choose a natural burn heart remedy mentioned here or one of the many other supplements on the market. Plant enzymes are particularly popular and work for many people to control and prevent heart burn and to provide burn heart relief.
