Apple cider vinegar: No medicine or home remedy works for everyone but according to the feedback at http://www.Earthclinic.Com/cures/acid_reflux.Html apple cider vinegar is the home remedy that has helped the most people. But while 265 people say it helped, 40 found it did not help or only did a bit. That article gives other remedies to try.Avoiding inciting foods like fats/alcohol to prevent acidity is also important.

Baking Soda: Baking soda is the most basic of heartburn remedies. It neutralizes stomach acid directly and should help acid-peptic symptoms. One problem is that it is high in sodium, so if you have a problem with high blood pressure for instance, you don't want to treat one thing and cause trouble in a different area.
