Why does vinegar work?

I have had a problem with heartburn after eating for months. I started sipping a glass of water with a tablespoon of apple cidar vinegar in it during dinner and now I don't get it anymore.

Does anyone know why it works? It doesn't make sense to add more acid into my stomach. (at least I think vinegar is an acid).

Answers:
The stomach reads that there is not enough acid and produces more. Taking a little vinegar tells the stomach that there is enough acid so it stops producing it. The extra acid produced by stomach is much harsher then a little vinegar. I took rolaids for years then tried that vinear cure and been acid (and rolaids) free for over a year.

vinegar is amazing, it is an acid that even cleans pennies and jewerly too..

Vinegar has been used for many purposes for years. It's not only good for heartburn, but it's a great disinfectant too. The pioneers used vinegar on cuts and bruises.
Remember the nursery rhyme Jack and Jill ? It ends " he went to bed and mend his head with vinegar and brown paper ".
