5 Natural Remedies for Acid reflux (heartburn)


try these five quick home remedies for instant relief.

Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar

I recommended taking one tablespoon of raw organic apple cider vinegar mixed in a small glass (about 4 ounces) of purified water before each meal. This will help calm the stomach and help with digestion. This remedy also works for acute episodes of acid reflux. This is my favorite home remedy for acid reflux, as it works quick.







Baking soda

Bicarbonate is a wonder product though some doctors recommend that this not be used if you have high blood pressure or if you are on sodium restricted diets. It’s best to get advice first. Mix a spoonful in a glass of water, stir and drink before it stops fizzing.




Organic Aloe Vera Juice

Aloe vera juice is commonly used to treat upset stomach, diarrhea and inflammation associated with bowel diseases such as ulcerative colitis. Aloe vera juice aids in digestion, and is another great remedy for acid reflux. I recommend drinking Aloe Vera juice mixed in with water when acid reflux symptoms begin.



Glutamine

Glutamine is an anti-inflammatory that reduces intestinal inflammation with acid reflux.This amino acid naturally occurs in the human body, glutamine can be found in many dietary sources such as milk, eggs, fish, parsley, spinach and more. I recommended taking spinach smoothie.






Herbal Licorice

Herbal licorice helps coat the stomach with a protective gel. I am not referring to the candy, but the popular herbal root that has been used for centuries. Most health food stores will have this in a tea or tincture form.
