Calm the burn with chamomile

In Germany, where they take herbal medicine very seriously, chamomile is one of the most popular heartburn home remedies. It contains some 20 compounds that ease spasms, plus other compounds that have a gentle sedative effect—perfect for heartburn relief. Use one tea bag per cup of boiling water, cover and steep for 10 minutes. Remove the tea bag and drink. Shoot for having 3 cups a day on an empty stomach and continue for two or three weeks. Then take a break for a week or two.
