Karlovarské prameny znám, ale Karlovarskou sůl jsem neznala. Teď jsem ji začala užívat pravidelně a uvidím, jaký bude výsledek. Zatím mám dojem, že mi pomáhá od pálení žáhy.

Heartburn is one of the most common digestive complaints and can be uncomfortable after meals, in the evening, or even during the day. Sometimes a small adjustment in diet or lifestyle is enough, while in other cases it makes sense to look for gentle, natural support for digestion. In this article, we take a closer look at why heartburn occurs, what can make it worse, and how digestion can be supported naturally–drawing inspiration from the spa tradition of Karlovy Vary.
What Is Heartburn and Why Does It Occur?
Heartburn (medically known as pyrosis) usually presents as an unpleasant burning sensation or pressure behind the breastbone. It most often occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, irritating its lining. This condition can have several causes, which are often interconnected:
- heavy, spicy, fried, or very fatty foods,
- tomato-based sauces, citrus fruits, chocolate, and similar foods,
- consumption of carbonated drinks, alcohol, and caffeine,
- overeating before bedtime,
- a weakened lower esophageal sphincter.

Symptoms and When to Pay Attention
Heartburn most commonly manifests as a burning sensation, a sour taste in the mouth, or pressure in the chest area. If these symptoms occur repeatedly–such as more than twice a week–it may indicate gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In such cases, it is advisable to consult a doctor to determine the appropriate next steps.
Easing Heartburn Through Diet and Lifestyle Adjustments
Relief often comes from small, everyday changes. Proven recommendations include:
- eating smaller portions more frequently,
- avoiding foods that worsen symptoms (fatty and spicy foods, citrus fruits, caffeine, chocolate),
- not eating at least 2–3 hours before bedtime,
- keeping the head slightly elevated while sleeping,
- maintaining a healthy body weight.
