The juice from the aloe vera plant is another natural home remedy that is used to soothe an irritated esophagus; aloe vera juice has a long history of use in Europe as a natural home remedy to relive heartburn.
Typically, approximately 1/4 cup of aloe vera juice is taken (by adults) approximately 20 minutes before a meal.
The aloe vera should not contain any aloe latex, aloin, or aloe-emoin compounds, substances in the aloe plant that are very powerful laxatives. Aloe gel should not be taken directly from the plant as a home remedy, as the gel can be contaminated with the latex. Only gel or juice preparations specifically for internal use should be used.
Some people find relief from heartburn by drinking ice cold milk, as it may ease some of the discomfort of mild heartburn. Drink a small amount of nonfat or skim milk every one to two hours to wash acid back down into the stomach.
Eat something light every 2 hours and drink a glass of water.
Avoid caffeinated drinks. Go easy on the caffeine. Caffeinated drinks such as coffee, tea, and cola may irritate an already inflamed esophagus. Caffeine also relaxes the sphincter.
Apple cider vinegar. Outside the herb family, an oft-touted remedy for heartburn is 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in 1/2 glass of water sipped during a meal.
