Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest or throat caused by acid reflux, where stomach acid flows back into the oesophagus. It often occurs after eating, when lying down, or during the night. Occasional heartburn is common, but frequent episodes may indicate Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Symptoms may include burning pain, sour taste, burping, and heaviness after meals. Homeopathy helps by balancing acid secretion, improving digestion, and healing the oesophagogastric lining for lasting comfort without dependency on antacids.
Causes
Heartburn occurs when the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) — a ring of muscle between the oesophagus and stomach — becomes weak or relaxes inappropriately, allowing acid to rise.
Common causes include:
- Overeating or lying down immediately after meals
- Spicy, fried, or oily food intake
- Caffeine, alcohol, and smoking
- Obesity or tight clothing increases pressure on the abdomen
- Hiatal hernia or delayed stomach emptying
- Stress and irregular eating habits
- Certain medications (painkillers, antihistamines, etc.)
Symptoms – What It Means for Your Body
Symptom | Explanation |
Burning sensation in the chest (heartburn) | Acid irritation of the oesophageal lining |
Sour or bitter taste in the mouth | Acidic regurgitation into the throat |
Bloating, heaviness, or belching | Sluggish digestion and gas buildup |
Discomfort after heavy meals | Overproduction of acid due to delayed digestion |
Dry cough, sore throat, or hoarseness | Acid irritating the throat or vocal cords |
Worsening when lying down or bending | Gravity allows acid to flow upward |
Lifestyle & Care Tips
