The Baking Soda Cure

I've always thought of Baking Soda as the best cure for heartburn. My mom has suffered with it for years, and instead of consuming millions of Tums, she prefers to put a pinch of Baking Soda in a bit of water. The baking soda (being alkaline)is supposed to neutralize the acid.I was recently told that it is even better if you add a few drops of lemon juice.

My daughter (8 months pregnant) uses it, along with drinking Chamomile tea, that not only helps with the heartburn, but also helps with insomnia that she suffers from also.
