The Natural Remedies for Axid Reflux
Posted by Charlie Prost on April 4th, 2010
As one who is prone to feeling a stingy and bile-like sensation, finding the perfect cure for acid reflux would be one of your priorities. This sensation is really quite disturbing and at the same time a little uncomfortable.
Finding the perfect cure for acid reflux might be a little too subjective on most cases. This might be greatly dependent on the preference of the individual who will use the treatment.
Both pharmacological as well as natural remedies have been used for this condition. But due to various debates on the not so good after effects of some drugs, natural remedies are placed in the limelight.
Moreover, the natural options have been there for quite a long time but their importance was emphasized just recently. A list of some of the common remedies used to treat this condition is given below. One of these might just be found in your backyard or in your own kitchen.
Grapefruit – the skin of this fruit is perfect for easing the pain during instances of acid regurgitation. Dried outer peel of the fruit is the best in addressing this condition. This can be produced by simply removing the peel and have it dried in a plate until it wrinkles. The dried skin can now be stored in a clean jar and chewed whenever necessary. There is no prescribed amount as to how much one should eat but it will just depend on how long the pain will subside. Pineapple- aside from helping in proper digestion, this fruit contains many enzymes that help regulate acidity of the stomach and therefore lessen unwanted acid regurgitation.
Cinnamon – heartburn can also be healed with this delicious flavoring. Just sprinkling it over a piece of bread and chewing on it little by little will surely help ease the pain that you feel. Herbal tea – this is most common form of natural remedy for heartburn. It helps lower the concentration of acid in the stomach. A perfect cup can be created by mixing equal amounts of lavender, peppermint, and aniseed in boiled water. Drinking about 8 ounces when you rise in the morning and in the evening assures a lesser incidence of heartburn.
