Remedies from the Cupboard
Almonds.
Chewing 6 or 8 blanched almonds during an episode
of heartburn could provide relief from heartburn.
However, you should chew them well. If you do not
do so, and if you swallow air during the process
of chewing the almonds, it could cause further
discomfort to you.
Baking
soda: Baking soda is another home remedy
heartburn which can be taken with 1/2 teaspoon in
1/2 glass water. However caution should be
exercised in finding out the antacid use
information on the box before using this remedy.
If you have been prescribed a salt restricted
diet, then you should avoid using baking soda as
home remedy heartburn, because baking soda has
sodium in a large amount. Baking soda should also
be avoided if you're experiencing nausea, stomach
ache, gas, cramps, or stomach distention from
overeating.
Cream of
tartar: For an acid neutralizer, mix 1/2
teaspoon cream of tartar with 1/2 teaspoon baking
soda in a glass of water. Take 1 teaspoon of the
solution depending upon the intensity of the
heartburn.
Brown
rice: It provides quick relief from
discomfort and it can either be consumed in plain
form or after adding a little quantity of
sweetener to it. Plain or with a little
sweetening, rice can help relieve discomfort.
Being a complex carbohydrate and a bland food, it
is less likely to increase acidity.
Soda crackers:
It has endorsement from our distant past
and it indeed works actually. They have a rich
past of endorsement on account of the fact that
soda crackers (should preferably be taken
unsalted) are bland, they digest easily, and they
absorb stomach acid. They also contain bicarbonate
of soda and cream of tartar, which neutralize the
acid.
Just
run a memory check about the number of visits,
before you developed heartburn to the restaurants
and the package of soda crackers they always give
you at the restaurant, which you never bothered to
carry along and left it languishing at the table?
Make it a habit that from now on you would carry
it along with you. It is a handy device when
you're plagued by heartburn and can't seek
immediate relief.
