Heartburn is commonly referred to as acidity. It is caused as a result of reflux of the acidic contents of stomach back to the food pipe. Heartburns are common conditions that can be easily cured by homoeopathic medications.

How does homoeopathy treat heartburns?

Treatment under homoeopathic medication system is different from that of allopathic system. Under this method, medications are taken for a short period of time.
