Heartburn is a burning feeling in the lower chest and can cause a sour taste in the throat or mouth. Heartburn can last for a few minutes or a few hours and can occur after a meal or while lying down. It can also be characterised by difficulty in swallowing, chronic coughing, loss of voice and wheezing and is often treated with medications or antacids. In some cases it is recommended to avoid certain foods and in others surgery may be required. Homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal remedies are natural treatment options for heartburn.
