Acid Reflux
Acid reflux is a simple condition to heal by the use of herbs.
It is best to treat acid reflux before it becomes an habitual and chronic problem as it can develop into an Hiatal Hernia condition.
In adults, acid reflux tendencies may be exacerbated by particular drinks such as Coke and Coffee or Apple and Orange Juice in excess and by acid forming foods such as too much sugar and white flour in the diet. You should make an effort to reduce these aggravating substances permanently in your diet.
Slippery Elm powder when taken daily is soothing and healing of the gastrointestinal tract. Slippery Elm can be added to mashed banana, stewed fruit or yoghurt.
Each dose is taken in small swallows and for a continuous period of 12 weeks. Slippery Elm provides a protective lining to the mucosal lining of the oesophagus and stomach, and in 12 weeks should heal any irritated areas. It may be that slippery elm would be required as an ongoing addition to your diet.
The herbal mix to be used in conjunction with slippery Elm is taken three times per day as well as 3 cups of either hot or cold Chamomile tea to support the relaxation of the nervous system response involved in the reflux response.
It is often the way that people who suffer from this condition like life to be sweet and acceptable so they may use food as a reward and actually use eating as an alternative to swallowing everyday life stresses. This gradually creates spasms around the sphincter between the stomach and oesophagus.
It is important to make meal times as pleasant as possible.
