Heartburn isn't just a minor inconvenience it is very painful and can inhibit your sleep, affect your work and make you feel miserable. Of course, if you are one of the millions of people who get heartburn at least once a month, you already know this. Heartburn happens when the lining of the oesophagus comes in contact with too much stomach juice, which can produce a burning pain and injure the oesophagus. There is a valve that connects the end of the oesophagus with the stomach, which normally functions to keep the stomach acid where it belongs in the stomach. But in people with frequent heartburn, this valve relaxes too frequently, allowing the stomach acid to splash up into the oesophagus.
