Yes, if you’re suffering from heartburn, there are some drinks that can help alleviate the symptom. Some of these include herbal teas (such as chamomile), ginger tea and aloe vera juice. These beverages contain natural compounds with anti-inflammatory properties which can reduce the symptoms associated with heartburn. Additionally, certain carbonated beverages such as club soda have been known to help relieve acid reflux related indigestion due to their low pH levels and high concentration of bicarbonate ions. To further quell the discomfort caused by mild heartburn it is important to avoid acidic foods and drinks such as citrus fruits or caffeinated items before bedtime when possible. Other home remedies for relieving heartburn may include consuming a teaspoon of mustard to neutralize stomach acid or drinking several ounces of cold milk in between meals.
