Top 15 Heartburn Remedies You Need to Know

Eat Licorice

Licorice is a plant grown in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. It is loaded with glycyrrhizic acid that would trigger complications if digested in large amounts. Thus, it is recommended to choose deglycyrrhizinated licorice or DGL, which is often available in tablet and powder forms. Take 0.5 teaspoons of licorice powder or chew two tablets slowly before each meal to help relieve your heartburn symptoms. Many studies have proved that consuming a licorice product which also contains milk thistle, angelica, celandine, clown’s mustard plants, lemon balm, caraway, German chamomile, and peppermint leaf three times per day in four weeks would also help with this health issue. Keep in mind that licorice would interact with drugs, so make sure to consult your doctor before starting. [6]
