Heartburn (that terrible uncomfortable burning pain in the chest that is often accompanied by nausea and worse) affects thousands of people every day. Whether heartburn strikes only occasionally or is a common problem for you, there are some effective natural remedies for heartburn that provide quick and effective relief without introducing potentially harmful chemical drugs to your system.

Aloe Vera Juice as a Natural Cure for Heartburn – You may be more familiar with the idea of using aloe vera gel to sooth sunburnt and irritated skin, but aloe vera in juice form is an effective weapon against heartburn. If you drink a ¼ cup of aloe vera juice before meals it can help keep the burning pain at bay.

Papaya Tablets as a Natural Remedy for Heartburn – Those who suffer from frequent heartburn can decrease the frequency and severity of the attacks by taking a papaya based dietary supplement on a daily basis.

Licorice as a Natural Remedy for Heartburn – Natural licorice root or seed extract is another powerful natural way to combat frequent heartburn. Most health food stores carry both forms.

Chamomile Tea as a Natural Cure for Heartburn - Sipping on a cup of chamomile tea can bring quick relief to quell a sudden heartburn attack. Many people recommend drinking a glass of milk to calm the fire of heartburn pain, but although this can indeed provide temporary relief, it has now been shown that in the long run milk increases acid production in the stomach, which can make things even worse!

Gum as a Natural Remedy for Heartburn – Simply chewing on a stick of gum produces effective heartburn relief for many people. Choose one that does not contain an excessive amount of sugar though.
