Does Lying on the Left Side Ease Heartburn? — Really? - NYTimes.com
Yes, this is true...
There is actually Yogic advice on this. Apparently, lying on your left side improves your digestion and also brings more energy. I have been telling students this for years. Lying on your right side is more relaxing....so this 'medicine/therapeutic info' is 5,000 yrs old...go figure. I am always amazed (read: annoyed) when 'modern medicine' 'discovers' something that's actually been known by ancient practitioners for centuries.
Unfortunately for moi, I have to sleep on my left-side...which means (I suppose), I will never have problems with heartburn
