Heartburn Home Remedies

If you're unfamiliar with the actual mechanics of this, it all starts in your stomach. Your stomach actually has pretty strong acid in it that is used to help breakdown food for digestion.

The acid actually does burn your esophagus and if you don't deal with a severe heartburn problem, it will actually eat away your esophagus for good.
