However there are some natural remedies or cure available for heartburn problems which are been carried on from generation to generations and still staying at par than other effective remedy. The most important thing is what you intake and how much you intake as indigestion is considered to be the cause of heartburn.

This scheduled diet always helps the patient to keep the digestion effective without any Sid effects. Foods are drinks usually trigger heartburn problems. Citrus fruits; Chocolate; Peppermint; Spearmint; Tomatoes; Raw onions are few examples of food stuffs which create heartburn.

Fennel seeds are dropped in boiling water, which is the most popular remedy carried on from centuries to centuries. Smoking is not only injurious to health but also a great cause for heartburn. Nicotine is an ingredient in cigarettes that weakens the lower esophageal sphincter, a band of muscle at the end of the esophagus that closes off the esophagus and prevents the acidic stomach contents from entering the esophagus.

After a big meal having the entire favorite desserts, starters and burgers the stomach starts pumping out gas which in turn creates heartburn sensation. Peppermints are the most natural ways to digest food and reduce gas generation. But, menthol relaxes the valve between the stomach and the esophagus, allowing trapped gas to escape upward as a welcome, pressure-relieving burp

Prevention is better than cure and hence the point to be noted that there is no specific cure for heartburn. Regular workouts, meditation and proper diet help in reducing the symptoms.
