Natural Gerd Remedies and Suggestions
According to one of my own favorite natural health reference books, Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Jame Balch,
specific nutrients that are helpful with GERD include calcium, magnesium and potassium, which have an alkalizing effect that binds up stomach acid.
The book also suggests different herbs such as Aloe vera, which aids in healing of the intestinal tract, and Chamomile to relieve esophageal irritation.
Note on aloe: Aloe vera juice will temporariliy discolor the inside of the colon wall so may make certain medical tests harder to read. Check with your doctor about this potential complication.
Aloe vera side effects
Maintaining the proper pH can significantly help alleviate symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Växa's Buffer-pH+ not only contains alkalizing ingredients but also aloe vera and chamomile. Additional ingredients help prevent heart disease, weight gain, diabetes, osteoporosis, arthritis, dangerous cholesterol and premature aging.
In conjunction to Buffer-pH+, try Växa's Digestin, a homeopathic medicinal that has the specific ingredients mentioned above along with papaya leaf, peppermint leaf, ginger root, digestive enzymes, etc. All these ingredients are known to relieve symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease and help with digestion.
