Heartburn can turn even the tastiest of meals into a nightmare.
However, this secret trick using common household ingredients can help.
Kassel – First a delicious meal, a good glass of wine – then a burning pain in the stomach and esophagus.
Heartburn affects many people.
A nap after a meal, in particular, can promote heartburn.
Lying down can cause stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus.
Anyone who often suffers from heartburn can resort to tried and tested home remedies that almost everyone has at home.
“Magic potion” for heartburn made from these four ingredients
A remedy called Kü-Ka-Lei-Wa is said to help against heartburn.
Please what?
This is not a pharmaceutical product from the pharmacy.
The acronym stands for caraway, potato, flaxseed and water.
In the
WDR
program
Servicezeit,
the four ingredients are presented as a true miracle weapon against annoying heartburn.

However, in order to develop the full effect of home remedies, it is not enough to consume potatoes and linseeds boiled with a little caraway and water.
Rather, the show advises brewing a “magic potion” from the ingredients.
“This will help you get rid of the annoying burning sensation without having to resort to expensive remedies from the pharmacy,” promises presenter Yvonne Willicks.
Home remedies for heartburn: This is how you prepare the secret recipe
In order for the home remedies to have their full effect against heartburn, they must be turned into a decoction.
To do this, peel two medium-sized potatoes, cut them into small cubes and put them in a pot.
Add two teaspoons of unground caraway seeds and two to three teaspoons of uncrushed linseed.
The whole thing is poured with two liters of water.
The mixture should then be brought to the boil for around 20 minutes and then drained through a sieve.
According to the television report, the approximately 1.5 liters of Kü-Ka-Lei-Wa brew should now be enjoyed warm every few hours for two days.
The brew is said to not only provide relief for acute symptoms, but also prevent heartburn.
It's not just the “magic potion” made from caraway, potatoes, linseed and water that can help with symptoms.
Eating other foods is also recommended for heartburn.

If you experience frequent heartburn, we recommend going to the doctor
Occasional heartburn that only occurs after very large meals is not necessarily a cause for concern.
According to gesundheitsinformation.de, such complaints affect around one in five people in Western countries.
However, if the symptoms persist and you suffer from frequent and severe heartburn, the so-called reflux disease, it is advisable to see a doctor, writes the AOK health magazine.
The information provided in this article does not replace seeing a doctor. Only professionals can make the correct diagnosis and initiate appropriate therapy. The use of medication or nutritional supplements should be discussed with a doctor beforehand.
The rising stomach acid is not only unpleasant and painful, it can also disrupt sleep and have lasting negative effects on the esophagus.
The corrosive effect of the acid can irritate mucous membranes and cause inflammation.
According to the AOK experts, 40 percent of people with reflux disease notice visible damage to the mucous membranes of the esophagus.
In around five out of 100 cases, this can lead to a so-called “Barrett esophagus”, a precursor to esophageal cancer, according to gesundheitsinformation.de.
