What to do for indigestion heartburn relief?

Here are some self-care measures that may help alleviate indigestion and heartburn:

1. Antacids: Over-the-counter antacids can neutralize stomach acid and provide short-term relief. They are available in various forms like chewable tablets, liquids, and effervescent powders. Homeopathy medicines indicated below offer alternative antacid remedies that are safe and natural.

2. Avoid Trigger Foods: Certain foods and beverages can trigger heartburn and indigestion. Common culprits include spicy, fatty, and acidic foods, as well as caffeine, alcohol, and carbonated drinks. Try to identify your triggers and minimize their consumption.

3. Eat Smaller Meals: Instead of having large meals, try eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. This can help reduce pressure on the stomach and lessen the chance of acid reflux.

4. Avoid Eating Close to Bedtime: Give yourself a few hours after eating before lying down. This can help prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus.

5. Elevate Your Head While Sleeping: If you experience nighttime heartburn, elevate the head of your bed by placing blocks under the bedposts or using a wedge pillow.

6. Chew Gum: Chewing sugarless gum after meals can stimulate saliva production, which can help neutralize stomach acid.

7. Ginger: Ginger has natural anti-inflammatory properties that may help with indigestion. You can try drinking ginger tea or chewing on ginger slices.

8. Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra): Slippery elm, available in various forms like lozenges or teas, can help soothe the lining of the esophagus and stomach.

9. Avoid Tight Clothing: Tight clothing, especially around the waist, can put pressure on the stomach and exacerbate heartburn. Opt for looser clothing.

10. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day, but avoid drinking large amounts while eating, as it can increase pressure on the stomach.

11. Lifestyle Changes: Quit smoking if you're a smoker and aim to manage stress through relaxation techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation.

Remember, if your symptoms persist or worsen despite trying these self-care measures, or if you experience additional symptoms like difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss, or vomiting blood, seek medical attention promptly.
