The main problem during heartburn and gastritis is the sensitization of the gastric mucosa and increased acidity. In this situation, properly selected herbal teas can both reduce inflammation and alleviate the burning sensation. However, not every tea is beneficial — some, on the contrary, can worsen the condition.
Modern.az reports that the most beneficial and harmless teas for these people are:
1. Chamomile tea
Chamomile
Has anti-inflammatory effects
Protects the stomach lining
Reduces stress, preventing increased acidity.
2. Ginger tea (in small amounts)

If used excessively, it can have an adverse effect, i.e., it can increase burning.
3. Peppermint tea

4. Dill tea
