When riding a horse around a compound in Africa one can notice a nasty feeling that happens in their throat and chest. Yes, you guessed what I’m talking about it’s that pesky heartburn feeling. I know I want to get rid of it fast but when you’re on safari you’re really not near to any pharmacies. This is actually how I stumbled upon one of the greatest cures. You see I really know how to get rid of heartburn because I know how annoying it is.

 

Let me give you some background information on the story. One of the guys out here that I’m on safari with is called Jake and Jake really knows a thing or two about cooing yams. These are sweet potatoes that are similar to normal potatoes except they grow in different places and are as you would expect sweet. I can easily find an assortment of cures when I’m at home but nothing even comes close to the sensation of this real earth cure. I munched on Jake’s potato dish and asked him - do you know how to get rid of heartburn. He said he could but it would cost me 5 gold coins. I accepted this offer and handed him the money. He laughed and tossed me some herbal tea. I was angry, ‘you can’t possibly expect me to accept this old tea as the cure’ I said. He laughed again and told me to trust in the tea it really was how to get rid of heartburn in a fast and natural way. I decided I would try it but I wasn’t happy with him or the tea. The next night was a village festival and my horse was too tired to do anymore walking. I sat down by the fire and started eating the meal that had been prepared. It was a delicious mushroom and spice risotto.

 

 Later that night while I was sleeping I felt a nasty feeling in my body. It was acid coming up from my stomach. I thought to myself - was Jake lying or was he telling the truth about the remedy. I brewed a pot of the herbal tea and then I drunk it down. Wow I got out my phone and dialed Jake. I told him he really knew how to get rid of heartburn and he was a great man. He laughed down the phone and told me the reason that it had worked so well is because it was a special herbal tea and it’s job was to get rid of acid reflux anyway that it could. I thanked him again and told him that in the morning he could choose any chocolate that he liked from my special collection.
