Natural Remedies to Deal with Heartburn
Jun 07, 2022
Heartburn is an unpleasant burning sensation in the chest caused by acid reflux. Chronic heartburn can create ongoing discomfort and take the joy out of eating.
When stomach acid makes its way into the esophagus, heartburn occurs. This is typically caused by issues with the lower esophageal sphincter, including trigger foods, obesity, low stomach acid, and stress.
Natural support for low stomach acid include:
- Betaine HCL + pepsin (should be taken only upon approval and with instructions from a licensed healthcare professional).
- Apple cider vinegar
- Lemon juice
Digestive bitters include:
- Dandelion
- Fennel
- Ginger
- Valerian root
Soothing herbs include:
- Aloe (reduces inflammation)
- Chamomile (chamomile tea can soothe inflammation in the esophagus, which can help with symptoms
- Licorice root (licorice root tea can be consumed before bedtime)
Caution! Licorice root must only be consumed in small amounts and should not be consumed for more than a few weeks. It should not be taken by those who are pregnant or have heart disease, high blood pressure, or various chronic illnesses. Consult with your doctor before taking licorice root.
Rather than turning to antacids, such as Tums, Alka Seltzer, and Mylanta, which offer fast relief but do not address the root cause, try using some of the natural remedies mentioned above to support low stomach acid and improve digestion.

As a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional Practitioner, I run functional lab work to help identify HIDDEN stressors and dysfunctions that are downgrading health and creating or contributing toĀ Metabolic Chaosā„¢, which describes what's going on inside that is producing unwanted symptoms.
Once healing opportunities are identified through carefully selected labs and a thorough history, only then can individualized, time-honored natural protocols be recommended that will change how well the body functions. When improvements are made, true healing occurs.
I am opening up 5 coaching opportunities at the end of August, at the lowest cost possible.
I don't want you to miss this healing opportunity.
