Acid Reflux A to Z

Natural Remedy for Heartburn: Find out about natural Heartburn

cure secrets that your doctor doesn't know.

Can you get a natural remedy for heartburn or must you as a

heartburn sufferer endlessly put up with the side effects of

prescribed medication to gain only temporary relief? Following 11

years of experimenting on a trial and error basis, a former

heartburn sufferer and expert nutritionist tells the truth about

naturally solving and preventing acid reflux.

Heartburn, or in medical terms gastroesophageal reflux disease

(GERD), occurs when the one-way valve situated in the esophagus

(called the LES – lower esophageal sphincter) becomes weak and

unstable, no longer blocking the passage of stomach acid and food

back up into the esophagus. The backwards flow of acid (acid

reflux) often results in a sensation of burning, called

heartburn. Because of this, acid reflux patients often feel a

distinct burning sensation under the breastbone, typically

occurring at night.

When this reflux gets to the upper part of the esophagus, the

results can be a dry cough, wheezing, hoarseness or a chronic

sore. In addition, chronic reflux into the lower esophagus can

cause a condition known as Barrett's esophagus, turning into

esophageal cancer in some 0.5% of cases.

Although weakening of the LES together with several other aspects

including insufficient stomach acid and various genetic

tendencies are all aspects to be dealt with for a complete cure

for acid reflux, these are local or immediate reasons for

heartburn.

Heartburn is a complex phenomenon caused by more profound factors

and co-factors besides the local causes already referred to.

Indications are of an additional group of internal factors that

produce an environment leading to the formation of heartburn. Any

natural remedy for heartburn must first of all deal with these

factors.

Because most of prescribed medication is aimed at relieving the

immediate causes of heartburn, long-term consumption of these

drugs will only give temporary improvement while causing a host

of side effects.

Antacids used over a long period of time for example can make the

problem worse, because stomach acid is needed for reasons of good

digestion and immunity. Temporary relief may come from blockers

such as PPIs and H2, but these may also lead to osteoporosis.

Research done recently indicates that diet, lifestyle and

patterns of behavior can aggravate an existing heartburn

condition, showing preference for an approach that is natural and

holistic.

The right diagnosis of your condition and adherence to the

holistic approach (taking supplements of specific herbs and

vitamins) while observing a full set of dietary principles and

Candida control protocols (also a major factor in heartburn) can

bring a natural cure to heartburn and safely and effectively stop

it from happening again.
