By Lindsay Sheehan Heartburn is a burning sensation felt in the chest, upper central abdomen, or just behind the breast bone. It occurs when stomach acids flow back up into the esophagus, the tube that transports food from the mouth to the stomach. Normally when we swallow, muscles in the lower esophagus relax so that food and drink can be carried to the stomach, and then tighten up again afterwards like a valve. When these muscles relax outside of eating and drinking, stomach acid moves into the esophagus to cause a wicked case of heartburn. It is often worse when [More]
By Susan Patterson Instead of needlessly suffering or taking a medicine that comes with a long list of potential side effects, why not use essential oils?

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola Do you buy farmed salmon in the belief that it’s the environmentally responsible thing to do? Think again.

Since the salmon pens are placed along wild salmon runs, they pose a severe threat to wild salmon stocks that pass by, exposing wild fish to diseases such as sea lice, pancreas disease,1infectious salmon anemia virus and piscine reovirus.

By Dr. Mercola By Dr. Mercola There is a certain perceived assurance e-cigarettes (e-cigs) are safe and harmless to your health.
