(Note: These home tips followed in villages/ancient traditions, it is up to you to use it or not🙏🏻)

HOME REMEDIES FOR HEARTBURN

Eat a ripe banana
The high potassium content of a banana makes it a fairly alkaline food. And, according to the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, this means it may help counteract the stomach acid irritating your esophagus.

However, unripe bananas are less alkaline, starch-heavy and may actually be an acid reflux trigger for some people. So be sure to choose a banana that’s ripe.

Other alkaline foods that may help offset heartburn include melons, cauliflower, fennel and nuts.
