Brief Answer:
will guide you with more details
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for consulting HCM.
As heartburn is termed as GERD- gastroesphageal reflux disease.
Before advising you treatment, I need some clarification.
When you are getting the heart burn? Whether in morning/night.
after food or before food?
After what type of food do you feel symptoms?
how long the symptom persist?
Any associated symptoms along with heart burn?
As heart burn will occur after taking fatty, spicy, fried, foods.
In some cases increased acid secretion in stomach will cause heart burn.
As ayurveda (indian traditional medicine)insist to treat the cause not the symptom. So we need to fix which factor inducing heart burn.
So kindly give me the details of your heart burn complaint so that I can guide you well.

Hello Dr.Shenthinathathan,
My symptoms started about a year and a half ago, when I started drinking one alcoholic beverage at night it was a beer and only one per night with no food.
I do not drink alcohol at all now, but still have the symptoms of heartburn.
I get heartburn mostly at night. I do not have any heartburn until I eat food.
I do not take any thing for excess acid like tums ect.
Foods that really upset my stomach our tomato sauce, cheese, milk, salty foods, garlic, hot peppers,bread bread, pasta, soy sauce,garlic, Tumerick, soy sauce, coffee.
I am taking no prescription medicines at this time.
I have taken a few natural supplements,
Actalin, for thyroid support worked well
but irritated stomach. I stopped taking it.
Ashwagonda, really like it but made my stomach upset.stoped taking it.
B12 and other vitamins that caused upset stomach and insomnia. Have stoped taking them.
I thank you in advance for your help,
It is very much appreciated.
