REFLUX GONE FOREVER, Natural Acid Reflux Remedies

The medical community believes that the use of prescription drugs
is the only valid approach in treating the symptoms of
indigestion. This, of course, is not the truth. Drugs are only
good for masking the symptoms of any condition, not for curing
that condition. If the Pharmaceutical companies created drugs
that healed disease, they would soon lose a lot of repeat
customers.
There are many natural remedies and techniques for treating the
symptoms of acid reflux. The major difference is that this
natural approach has no harmful side effects and can actually
cure the condition. It is also much less expensive for the
consumer.
Why is the medical community so opposed to natural therapy in
favor of prescription drugs? The answer is quite evident when
you consider the amount of money at stake. The sales of acid
reflux prescription drugs constitute a multi-billion dollar a
year industry. Allopathic medicine, pharmaceutical companies,
hospitals and insurance companies are all in league to do one
thing - make money. They do this largely at our expense.
There are many natural ingredients found in grocery markets and
health stores, which can help during the acid reflux recovery
period. Herbs, such as marshmallow and slippery elm have
wonderful healing properties. Licorice, natural honey and aloe
vera juice can sooth the esophagus and assist in the healing
process.
Chewing gum between meals actually reduces stomach acid. Saliva
is quite alkaline in nature. Chewing produces saliva, thereby
making the stomach less acidic. By eating dinner at least three
hours before retiring, one can drastically reduce the chances of
suffering from acid reflux during the night.
Eating smaller, more frequent meals is also quite helpful. One
should try to eat four or five little meals each day. Instead of
coffee in the morning, start the day with Kukicha Twig tea, and
then eat fruit, like bananas and melons for breakfast. During
the day have several snacks of walnuts, almonds and more fruit.
For lunch eat a salad, made with grilled chicken breasts, or
tofu, mixed with hearts of romaine, tossed with a light lemon and
chive vinaigrette.
It is essential to keep the food that you eat as alkaline as
possible. Learn to cook meals that are easy to digest and have
low acidity. Food like pasta primavera, baked chicken breasts on
mushroom caps and sautéed white fish with mashed potatoes are all
easy to prepare and delicious. Try to avoid those foods which
you know trigger acid reflux until you have healed your irritated
esophagus.
Keep in mind that the reason this condition exists in the first
place is due to having a damaged esophagus. Let the esophagus
heal by not eating the same foods in the same way that caused the
damage. Exercising, loosing weight, chewing properly, drinking
sufficient amounts of water and elevating the head at night, are
all simple things that anyone can do to improve this condition.
After much experimentation, I found that healing acid reflux is
really quite simple. With a few changes in lifestyle and with
the assistance of natural resources, one can absolutely end the
acid reflux syndrome, without the use of harmful and expensive
drugs.
