Apple cider vinegar heartburn home remedy

If you're hardcore you can simply take a teaspoon of straight cider vinegar. For something a little bubblier try the following.

Well I must say that I suffered from heartburn this evening. It felt like my left breast was on fire. I tried the Apple Cider Vinegar and was so surprised at how fast it worked. I took it straight, one teaspoon, although I was shocked at the horrible taste it was very effective. Thanks for the much needed help!!
