HOW TO CURE HEARTBURN/ACIDITY - HOME REMEDY

Heartburn is a recurring problem for many over the age of 35 or 40. Antacids and effervescent powders are effective only to an extent. If you develop a habit of taking recourse to them, their effectiveness gradually diminishes and you will find yourself reaching for them more often. And, a time may come when you have become a dependent on these remedies. Home remedies are many but we will concentrate only on one very effective home remedy. 

It is always better to avoid the condition. For, if you have three meals a day, you are likely to get heartburn three times. And, you may end up imbibing the effervescent at least twice a day. This will sure as not, lead to unpleasant complications. You can avoid heartburn by a diet that is not always  rich. 

Here is home remedy. Gastrointestinal afflictions are many and most of these are easily cured by a combination of ginger, garlic and asafoetida.  Take 2" ginger, 10 cloves of garlic and a blue berry sized asafoetida.  Put all the three in 200ml of water. Boil it until it is reduced to half the quantity. Cool the water  down to room temperature and sip. One dose on an empty stomach in the morning will see you through a whole day without any heartburn. After two days, do away with asafoetida. In a week or so, you are as fit as if you have been fitted with a new stomach! Home remedy has it all, folks!
