Heartburn can be caused by different factors, so certain remedies may treat one cause while other remedies may treat another. It is best to try different methods, as one may work for some people but not for others. One of the most well known and effective tricks is apple cider vinegar. Since vinegar is a base, it neutralizes acid, eliminating the burn. It has also been known to contract the sphincter, keeping acid from seeping through.
