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 60 million Americans who get heartburn at least once a month, you already know this.

Heartburn happens when the lining of the esophagus comes in contact with too much stomach juice, which can produce a burning pain and injure the esophagus. There is a valve that connects the end of the esophagus 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 esophagus.
