17 Home Remedies for Chest Pain
Home remedies that help alleviate minor chest pain include:
Almonds
Eating almonds will not stop heart-related chest pain. However, because almonds are widely considered a superfood for the heart, they may help prevent future heart problems.
Packed with healthymonounsaturatedfat, studies show that eating almonds regularly helps lower cholesterol and reduces your risk of heart attack,stroke, and cardiovascular disease.
If acid reflux is the cause of your chest pain, eating almonds may not be ideal. Fatty foods like almonds can relax thelower esophageal sphincter, allowing acid to back flow into the esophagus.
Ice Pack
Chest muscle strain is a common cause of chest pain. If you have chest pain due to muscle strain or injury, icing the area with a cold pack a few times a day may help reduce pain and inflammation.
Research shows that applying cold packs can help reduce chest pain and may decrease the need for pain relievers, such asibuprofen and acetaminophen.
Is Sharp Pain in Your Chest Ever Not Serious?
Baking Soda
Many people believe that baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) provides relief for heartburn. Mix 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda with 4 ounces of warm or cold water and drink. Baking soda neutralizes acid and may help prevent heartburn after eating.
Studies show that baking soda is effective at reducing acid reflux, but it may have adverse effects on the heart, so it’s important to use this remedy moderately.Baking soda contains sodium, so do not try this if you are on a low-sodium diet.
Speak with your healthcare provider if you are on prescription medications or have a chronic health condition before using baking soda for heartburn.
If your heartburn symptoms last more than two weeks, you should see your healthcare provider to be evaluated for complicated reflux or secondary causes for the symptom.
Hot Drinks
Whengasis the cause of your chest pain, sipping a hot or warm drink can help break down foods you ate faster, making them easier to digest.While it’s certainly safe to try, there is no evidence that drinking hot water can directly improve chest pain.
If your chest pain is due to heartburn, acid reflux, or GERD, take care to avoid hot drinks that are caffeinated, as the acidity of caffeine can trigger reflux symptoms.
17 Ways to Relieve Stomach Gas Fast
Garlic
Studies show that consuming garlic regularly helpslower high blood pressureand cholesterol levels, making it an effective agent against high blood pressure,atherosclerosis(the buildup of cholesterol in the arteries), and cardiovascular disease.
Research also shows that the potent antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects of garlic make it useful for preventing and treatingupper respiratory infections. One 2012 study showed that people with upper respiratory infections who took garlic supplements had less severe symptoms than those who didn’t.
If you are experiencing chest pain due to an upper respiratory infection, you can try taking a garlic supplement or sucking on a raw garlic clove for about 15 minutes for relief.
Holy Basil
Holy basil, also called tulsi, is a plant commonly used inAyurvedicmedicinefor its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and heart-protective effects.
Among the many conditions it is used to treat, holy basil is taken as a therapy forbronchitis, cough, asthma, inflammation,viral infections, and gastric disorders like GERD and acid reflux.
For chest pain related to inflammation, infection, or acid reflux, try taking a tulsi supplement or a few drops of tulsi leaf extract before meals. You can also use holy basil leaves to make tea.
Ayurveda: The Facts
Ginger
Gingerhas anti-inflammatory properties and may help ease chest pain from gastrointestinal issues. Ginger is frequently used as a home remedy for gastric issues such as gas, bloating,gastritis, ulcers, and indigestion.
Ginger contains compounds that are said to relieve irritation in the gastrointestinal tract and reduce gastric contractions. Research suggests the antioxidant properties in ginger may contribute to the gastro-protective effects of ginger.Ginger is also known to soothe an upset stomach and prevent nausea and vomiting.
If your stomach pain has lasted more than two weeks, you should see your healthcare provider to be evaluated for an ulcer or other concerning secondary causes for the symptom.

Aspirin
If you have had a heart attack in the past or are at risk for one, always carry a few aspirin with you. In the event of a heart attack, taking an aspirin is not a substitute for immediate, life-saving medical care. Call 911 at the first sign of a heart attack then take an aspirin while you wait for the ambulence.
Generally speaking, aspirin is an anti-inflammatory drug, which means you can use it for general aches and pains. If your chest pain is related to an injury or a muscle ache, taking an aspirin should help with the pain.
Importantly, aspirin should not be given to children 19 years and younger due to the risk ofReye’s syndrome.
Why You Should Take Aspirin If You’re Having a Heart Attack
Alfalfa
Alfalfa has long been used as a medicinal herb for a variety of ailments, including indigestion. It is also thought to help prevent heart attacks. With that being said, there is no scientific evidence that using alfalfa for these purposes is effective.
Alfalfa leaves contain plant molecules calledtriterpenoid saponinsthat are known to reduce cholesterol and plaque formation in animals. But again, there is no scientific evidence of this benefit in humans.
Alfalfa seeds contain a toxic amino acid called L-canavanine that may causelupusor make lupus worse. If you are growing your own alfalfa, you should only use the leaves or sprouts. You can also find alfalfa supplements online or anywhere holistic medicine is sold.
Pomegranate Juice
Pomegranates are a rich source of potent antioxidants that are known to lower blood pressure and cholesterol and prevent plaque buildup in your arteries (atherosclerosis).
Pomegranate juiceis considered heart-healthy, and studies show drinking it every day can reduce the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
You can drink pomegranate juice straight or use it as a salad dressing. Pomegranate supplements and pomegranate extract are also available online and in stores.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acidsfrom fish and fish oil are widely praised for being one of the most heart-healthy substances available in nature. In fact, a review of studies involving 149,051 people found that people who took omega-3 fatty acids had a significantly reduced risk of death due to cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke.
Omega-3 fatty acids like fish oil can also improve digestive health and may be a helpful therapy for those who experience chest pain as a result of heartburn and GERD.
Omega-3 fatty acids may increase the risk of bleeding. If you are on blood-thinning medication, you should talk to your doctor before using omega-3 fatty acids.
Lemon Water
While there are no studies that support it, some people think lemon juice can stimulatehealthy digestion, helping break down food more efficiently and making it easier for the digestive system to absorb nutrients. However, others find that lemons and other citrus fruits may make their acid reflux worse.
To try this remedy, mix 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice with 8 ounces of hot or cold water, and drink approximately 20 minutes before eating.
Remember to check with your healthcare provider if your symptoms have persisted for more than two weeks.
Turmeric
Inflammation can cause a host of issues in the body and plays a role in many diseases and chronic conditions, including gastrointestinal conditions.
Turmeric—a plant related to ginger—is a spice that comes from the root of turmeric plants.Curcumin—the main active ingredient in turmeric—is known to reduce inflammation in the body, and scientists see it as a promising therapeutic option in treating and managing gastrointestinal conditions.
Research shows the compounds found in turmeric reduce cholesterol and may help prevent heart disease.You can take turmeric as a supplement (available over the counter) or use it as a spice when cooking.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegaris a rich source of numerous heart-healthy vitamins and minerals, including magnesium and potassium. It is also known to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Apple cider vinegar can be an effective agent for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol and preventing heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular events.It may also be helpful for preventing acid reflux, heartburn, and GERD symptoms.
There are no official recommendations for how much apple cider vinegar to use, but it is generally safe to consume in moderation. Take up to four teaspoons of pure apple cider vinegar, or one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar diluted with two cups of water per day.

Cayenne Pepper
Cayenne pepper has been used as medicine for at least 9,000 years to treat a wide range of ailments. In modern times, it is used to treat a variety of gastrointestinal and cardiovascular conditions, chronic pain disorders, joint and muscle pain, nerve pain, and more.
Preliminary studies are investigating capsaicin as a potential therapy for treating heartburn as well as circulatory problems due to heart disease.
Capsaicin cream may cause an itching and burning sensation on the skin that tends to go away quickly. Capsaicin does not dissolve easily in water, making it difficult to get off your skin. Use vinegar to wash it off instead.
Fenugreek Seeds
Fenugreek seedshave potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and may be an effective treatment for asthma, chest wall pain, and high cholesterol.
In 2018, researchers gave people with asthma 10 milliliters (ml) of a syrup made of fenugreek extract and honey, twice daily for four weeks.
Does Fenugreek Lower Cholesterol?
CoQ10
Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is a substance found in almost every cell of your body. It is a powerful antioxidant known to protect against cancer and heart disease, and it can also be used to help lower high blood pressure and cholesterol.
CoQ10 is used to reduce chest pain during exercise in people with angina (heart pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart).CoQ10 supplements are available over the counter. For angina and general heart health, you can take 150 milligrams (mg) daily.
