Answer 1

This is my own from my own research & studies. I treated 10 people in a study, 9 of them were helped. Only one got placebo, he was the one the study did not help. However after the study he was given what the others were to help him. Feel FREE to PRINT, COPY, and or, SHARE this, as long as you leave it as is, and with my copyright on it hon.

ACID REFLUX/HEARTBURN PREVENTION & CARE

TIPS I USE DAILY: Prop up the head of the bed with blankets on your side, or place more than a couple pillows beneath your head at night. Keeping your head above your chest while asleep will help calm nighttime reflux. ALSO do NOT bend over unless you desperately have to, bending over will cause acid reflux almost EVERY time! When sitting, do so in a straight back hair, and do NOT recline in a recliner back so far that your head is level or beneath your chest.
Things that promote acid reflux can include but are not limited to: smoking, coffee, tea or other caffeinated beverages, and alcohol.

HERBS & OTHER THINGS THAT HELP WITH ACID REFLUX:

Apple Cider Vinegar is a traditional remedy that is used to help stimulate digestion. Recent studies have shown that acetic acid helps to stop gastric acid from leaving the stomach and this may assist with the breaking down of food in the stomach. Acetic acid can also increase the number of abdominal contractions in some people, which are needed to move food through the digestive tracts of the body.

Aloe Vera Juice Extract Whole
In one Japanese study, 17 of 18 patients who took Aloe Vera juice found some relief for their peptic ulcers. However, none of the participants was given a placebo, so comparisons of its effectiveness could not be made. Other clinical trials in Japan indicate that certain compounds in Aloe Vera reduce the secretion of stomach juices and the formation of lesions.

Ginger Root is widely used as a digestive aid for mild stomach upset

Bladderwrack Alginic acid is thought to form a kind of protective seal at the top of the stomach, reducing reflux. The seaweed bladderwrack is high in alginic acid.

Fennel seed can be bought at local health food stores in bags, you add them to a homemade milkshake and vuala ... it reduces tummy acid! If you dislike the taste of licorice, try adding flavored ice cream and extract to the shake to cover up the licorice taste.

Marshmallow Root (Althaea officinalis) is used to relieve inflammation and pain in the mucous membranes that are there in gastritis. Its leaves and particularly its roots are rich in mucilage, which obtains a gelatinous quality when wet, and this helps to protect the irritated mucous membranes in the mouth, throat and gastrointestinal tract.

Turmeric Root Turmeric is good for a variety of digestive disorders. Curcumin, for example, one of the active ingredients in turmeric, induces the flow of bile, which helps break down fats.
