• Prepare an infusion with fresh or dried leaves and drink two or three cups throughout the day, after meals. If you do not like the bitter taste, you can sweeten the infusion with honey.

Oranges

Especially people with heartburn should not eat oranges immediately before going to sleep, as they may cause problems. In addition, the acidity of the orange stimulates circulation. But most people have no problem eating oranges at night.
