Herbal Tea
Herbal tea is one of the well-known herbal remedies for acid
reflux and the associated heartburn. It helps reduce the amount
of acid in the stomach. The ingredients of herbal tea consist
of aniseed, peppermint and lavender. Here’s how we make it. Mix
equal quantities of all the three herbs. Boil two and a half
cup water and pour it over a teaspoon of the mixture. Let the
tea sit for about five minutes. Now strain the tea and add a
bit of honey (optional). Drink up to 8 oz in the morning and
the same in the evening for relieving acid reflux.
Cinnamon
Besides its role in controlling flu and cold, cinnamon is an
effective antiseptic and a trusted antacid. To use it for
settling an acidic stomach and heartburn, toast and butter some
raisin bread and spread some cinnamon along with a little
cardamom on it. Chew the bread slowly and completely before
swallowing.
Pineapples
Pineapples, one of the most cherished fruits, have the quality
of serving as on of the effective herbal remedies for acid
reflux. Pineapples are rich in enzymes, especially in
Bromelain, which reduce protein. These enzymes facilitate
digestion; reduce the inflammation, and aid healing. Fresh
pineapple juice is rich in these enzymes and is a good check
for acid reflux.
Grapefruit
The skin of organic grapefruit stands as a good herbal remedy
against acid reflux. To use this natural medicine, grate the
whole of the outer skin of an organic grapefruit. Dry the skins
by spreading on a flat dish. Leave them until they get crinkly
dry. Store these dry skins in a glass jar. In case of
inflammation or heartburn, chew a bit of these skins well and
eat them. Judge for yourself as to how much you need to soothe
your stomach’s condition at a time.
Chicory Root Tea
Users of herbal remedies for acid reflux know Chicory as one of
the bitter herbs containing endive and escarole. Boil One and a
half cup of chicory root for five to ten minutes. After it
cools down, drink this tea to relieve acid reflux or
heartburn.
