Apple Cider Vinegar. It doesn't seem like it would work, but it works better than anything else. The acid of many acidic substances outside of the body actually become alkaline once they are ingested. It balances the acid in the stomach so that you don't have to produce too much of your own stomach acid to digest foods (this is what causes acid/indigestion/heartburn/etc in the first place).
Just dilute one or two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with an ounce or so of water. The moment you swallow it, your stomach will become cool and calm, and will remain that way.

It's been scientifically proven that most stomach problems are caused by bacteria.
For a lot of stomach acid mix about 150 ml of pure lime juice, NOT from concentrate, with about 4 tablespoons of honey and a litre of water. Drink about a quarter litre in the morning and again in the evening. Lime and honey are 2 of the strongest natural antibacterials.
In addition take a finely milled fiber supplement, about 3 teaspoons per day, 1 in the morning and 2 in the evening. This pulls the stomach contents, including acid, down. This helps prevent reflux and further kills the bad stomach bacteria.
I've tried almost every home remedy and this one is low cost and very effective. You will notice great relief within about 2 hours of the first drink. Within 3 weeks symptoms are completely gone! The only drawbacks are some loose bowl movements during the first week or so and some acidity for a short period, half an hour or so, after the lime drink during the first week.
You will probably have to take this treatment perpetually.

I know it sounds really odd, but taking acid helps with acidity. I had this explained to me by a scientist, so I know what I'm talking about. Your stomach produces hydrochloric acid (HCL) help digest food. HCL is one of the strongest acids known to man. So what you need to do is take less powerful acids. Your stomach will slow production of HCL and the acids you take will help break down food instead. Try eating lots of lemons and limes (citric acid) or vinegar, especially apple cider vinegar.
If you need instant relief, take a base, like bananas, milk, or baking soda, but these will help only temporarily.

DO NOT DRINK MILK!!!!I went to my Dr. for and ulcer and had been drinking milk to help alleviate the burning. She told me that although milk will temporarily stop the burning that within minutes you digestive juices (that were causing the burning in the first place) will begin to work overtime to digest the milk. This makes you worse very quickly. Instead, use baking soda and water or good old fashioned tums!!!

take 1/2 tsp of baking soda (sodium bicaronate) and mix with 2 oz of water and drink it. It doesn't taste pleasant but it with fix you up within 10 mins of taking it. Usually, you will let out a large belch or two and then feel much better. If no success after 10 mins try repeating.

Hazelwood is an ancient remedy first used by aboriginal people. It has the medicinal property of neutralizing the body’s acidity. It relieves or prevents acid-related ailments such as ulcers, acid reflux, and heartburn.
Hazelwood is worn as a necklace, and in order to receive a therapeutic benefit, the hazelwood necklace must come in direct contact with the skin and be worn as much as possible, including overnight.

No chronic disease that affects the human body can be corrected or eliminated as long as the body is in an over acid condition. Acid occurs from eating acid foods like sugar,meat, alcohol,candy, and artificial sweetners. The colon produces acid when it starts fermenting with meat sugars, and starchs combined forming acid conditions in the colon. The colon then produces mucous to protect the body from the acids and that mucous then becomes sticky and cause constipation making the problem worse.To eliminate an over acid condition in the body the colon must be cleansed of the mucous, bad bacteria, and parasites making acid and poisoning the body. Good health begins in the colon and death begins in the colon. There is no such thing as acid reflex disease, but there is a dirty colon. Drug companies can make money off dirty colons but they can make pills for diseases they invent.
