Heartburn: Why Folk Remedies Don’t Always Work

Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest or throat that occurs after eating or sometimes without an obvious cause. It can ruin a workday, a workout, or even rest. In this article, we’ll look at the causes of heartburn, why folk remedies provide only temporary relief, and how Hyalera from Vorwarts Pharma helps with this condition.

Why Heartburn Happens

The most common causes are:

• overeating or late dinners;
• fatty, spicy, and fried food;
• chocolate, coffee, carbonated drinks, alcohol;
• stress and sedentary lifestyle;
• tight clothing pressing on the stomach.

Heartburn after meals is the most frequent symptom, but it can also appear on an empty stomach.

Folk Remedies: Relief or Illusion?

Many people search “what to do for heartburn” and turn to home remedies. But do they really work?

Method	Action	Drawbacks
Baking soda for heartburn	Quickly neutralizes acid	Temporary effect, may be harmful with frequent use. During the reaction, CO₂ is released, stretching the stomach walls. If there is an ulcer on the mucosa, rupture is possible. CO₂ also provokes rebound acid production. Within about an hour, heartburn returns, often with belching and bloating.
Milk	Relieves burning for a short time	Very short-lived effect, symptoms return.
Herbal decoctions	Mild relief	Do not restore the mucosal lining.
Alkaline mineral water	Quickly neutralizes acid	Temporary effect, can be harmful with frequent use. CO₂ stretches the stomach walls, may cause ulcer rupture, and stimulates additional acid production. Heartburn returns within about an hour, accompanied by belching and bloating.

👉 So, folk remedies may help “here and now,” but they don’t solve the problem comprehensively.

The Solution from Vorwarts Pharma: Hyalera

Hyalera is a dietary supplement for adults and children, designed to help with symptoms of heartburn.

Its composition includes:

This combination makes Hyalera a convenient solution for reducing heartburn.

Which Form of Hyalera to Choose

• Hyalera sticks with a pleasant pear flavor — convenient to carry with you while traveling.
• Hyalera tablets — a practical option for daily use at home.

How to Use (How-to)

• Take after meals or as needed (for example, before bedtime).
• Avoid food and drinks for 30 minutes after taking.
• Leave at least a 1-hour gap between Hyalera and other supplements or medications.
  
  

FAQ

Why does heartburn most often occur after dinner?
In the evening, the body prepares for rest and digestion slows down. If you eat late or lie down right after a meal, stomach contents can more easily enter the esophagus.

Is heartburn always related to food?
No. It can also be caused by stress, tight clothing, eating too quickly, or even during physical activity.

Can heartburn be prevented without supplements?
Yes, lifestyle changes help: avoid overeating, reduce trigger foods, control weight, and stay physically active. But if symptoms persist, additional support may be needed.

Can Hyalera be combined with other supplements?
Yes, but it’s important to keep at least a 60-minute interval between intakes.

Heartburn may seem minor, but it significantly affects quality of life. Folk remedies bring only temporary relief, while Hyalera from Vorwarts Pharma, thanks to its combination of hyaluronic acid and alginates, creates a protective barrier and helps manage heartburn symptoms.
