Heartburn Medicine Alternative Heartburn Medicine

What home remedies are there for GERD or heartburn?

I have taken omeprazole for far too long. My dr did not tell me to limit it to 14 days every 4 months. Now I’m worried. Any permanent damage and how can I treat this thru diet or any alternative medicines?

You would have to look at your lifestyle and maybe make lifestyle changes (weight loss, changes in eating habits, no smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, posture changes while sleeping), the following natural and herbal remedies have been known to provide relief for GERD/Acid Reflux symptoms:

Amla (Indian Gooseberry)
Aniseed, Peppermint and Lavender Tea
Pineapple Enzymes
Organic Grapefruit Skins
Chicory Root Tea
Chamomile
Slippery Elm (Ulmus Fulva)
… and the one I think sounds the BEST –
Cinnamon Raisin Bread:
Cinnamon raisin bread is among the effective herbal remedies for acid reflux. Cinnamon has a reputation for being a reliable antacid as well as being an effective antiseptic and remedy for controlling cold and flu. To create this simple remedy, toast some raisin bread. Spread it with butter, cinnamon, and cardamom. Chew the cinnamon bread slowly before swallowing it.

If you are a tea drinker, try some of the teas listed above, but if you like cinnamon bread – well – why not?? LOL!!

I noticed that the internet was filled with pages of stuff they all wanted to sell you. I finally found this site. If you are interested in these other teas and remedies, check out the website below and it will tell you all about them.
