How to Cure Heartburn

from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Cheap all natural way to cure heartburn instantly.

Steps

1. Mix a teaspoon or two of baking soda with at least eight ounces of cool water.
   
2. Drink the mixture. You may want to swallow it quickly and without tasting it because most people think it tastes like salty soap.
   
3. Wait for it to work. The mixture of baking soda and water creates a base (alkaline) solution. When it enters your stomach it neutralizes some of the hydrochloric acid in your stomach and relieves the symptoms of heartburn.
   
4. Repeat if needed.
