Heartburn can strike you by surprise at any time: after a hearty dinner or your favorite dessert. Of course, pharmaceutical drugs relieve discomfort, but they are not always at hand.
If you prefer to do without pills, you can use traditional methods. Health experts have suggested 2 proven remedies that will help relieve the symptoms of heartburn in a tasty and safe way.
1. Chamomile decoction
- Pour 3 tablespoons of dry chamomile into a glass of boiling water.
- Let it brew for 20 minutes.
- Take 100–150 ml at a time.
Chamomile reduces inflammation of the mucous membrane, reduces gas formation and bloating, and gently soothes the stomach.
2. Mint infusion
- 1 tsp. dry mint pour a glass of boiling water.
- Leave for 15 minutes.
- Drink in small sips at the first sign of heartburn.
Mint reduces acidity, relieves stomach discomfort and at the same time calms the nervous system, reducing stress and even headaches.
Experts say that both drinks can be alternated throughout the day if heartburn recurs. They are safe for regular use, good for digestion and non-addictive.
