Re: Needed: Home Remedy for Acid Reflux

[Guest guest]

I had it off and on for several years without realizing what it was. I made

several changes to my diet/lifestyle, but lots of water seemed to help it a

lot. By lots, I mean up to 2 gallons a day in summer. The less coffee and

sodas you drink, the better it will be...probably. When you feel it, try

drinking a 12 or 16 ounce glass of water.

While you are studying natural health lifestyle choices

especially dietary changes to affect long term results in healing up

the acid reflux, use a demulcent with an astringent for some

immediate healing effect.

WHAT'S WORKED FOR US: Take either marshmallow root or

slippery elm (there are others that would work too) and simmer it

for a while. When you can it's better to use something other than

slippery elm for sustainable harvesting reasons and I love

marshmallow root for that. Use a well rounded teaspoon/cup of water

or so for 10-30 minutes. If you do a longer simmer you'll have to

start with more water. Once that is done you have a great solution

that is soothing to irritated internal mucous membranes. Now, to

make it even more effective, once you take it off the heat pour the

water over a teaspoon or so of an astringent herb, raspberry leaves

would be awesome. Put a lid on it and wait 20-30 minutes before

drinking. If you want to save some time do up a pint and a half in

the morning and use that for your 3 one cup doses through the day.

WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THIS: In herbal talk you are preparing a

decoction of marshmallow root and then infusing raspberry leaves in

it. The astringent stuff will help shrinken and tighten up the

loose tissue that's allowing the acid to come up. Either one alone

works okay (with slippery elm getting an edge) but the two together

works much better. Take it as needed or 3x a day if it's a

continual p.i.t.a. type of thing.

CHEAP REDNECK VERSION FROM YOUR LAWN: A strong plantain leaf

infusion ought to be helpful. Plantain is both astringent and

somewhat emollient and ought to work well alone. It might be better

than raspberry leaves in the above mix. I would prefer the mix but

use what you have.

IF YOU TRY NOTHING ELSE: Get some swedish bitters and take a

teaspoon in water 20 minutes before each meal. That's almost a cure

all for those of us not quite ready to go onto an all healthy

natural diet. Maybe someone can do a write up on the wonders of

swedish bitters. Tastes nasty but IT WORKS WONDERS.

I've hard a couple tablespoons of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar will get rid of it.

I would say a complete redo of your diet. Eat a lot of fresh fruits and veggies

that have their enzymes intact. Use extra plant-based enzymes and probiotics for help with digestion and assimilation. Tons of pure water. Lots of exercise.

Eliminate caffeine, soda, and alcohol, eliminate all sugars, and all boxed and processed

foods. Eliminate “non

steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs” or NSAIDs.

This includes a large number of prescription medications and OTC non-prescription

drugs as well. These include Advil, Motrin, ibuprofin,

aspirin, and Aleve (which is the old prescription Naprosyn).

NSAIDs are a direct and major cause of the leaky gut

syndrome, because they inflame the intestinal lining and cause a widening of

the spaces between cells. Whatever you do, don’t use OTC acid-killers. The acid is there for a reason – to

digest your food, and to kill bacteria that may cause pneumonia. In the meantime, until your body heals

itself, here’s a good all-natural product to use occasionally – it actually

puts a gel-type barrier on the top of the contents of your stomach and prevents

everything from coming back up into the esophagus - http://tinyurl.com/h2al
