The Prescription drugs are highly expensive, have many Side Effects and are not able to cure the problem of acid reflux. They are only for treating the symptoms. There are a number of natural remedies and solution available for the treatment of acid reflux and its complications. Natural remedies have no side effects as well as they cure the problem. They are much cheaper too.
Mostly doctors are unaware of the natural medicines. During their training in medical colleges they receive no exposure to natural healing techniques. It is common knowledge that most doctors are on the pay roll of the pharmaceutical companies by prescribing their medicines. In fact the medical companies are the major opponents to natural medicine as they will be the losers then.
If you decide to treat yourself by natural means, then better to treat your own unless you have a holistic practitioner. Fortunately Internet is a lot of help as there is plenty of information available on it. Our job is to identify the best things from the bad ones - that is to become an investigator to find out what is best for each of us individually. At least we have the freedom to do so now.
The main cause for acid reflux is improper eating habits. It can be what we eat, how we eat and where we eat. Most likely a person suffering from acid reflux may have a damaged esophagus. It is very much necessary to heal the esophagus in order to stop the acid reflux cycle. There are a variety of natural products available at health stores and can be located through the Internet. Given below are some simple steps that can be followed to become free off acid reflux.
1. Avoid Triggers. Every one knows that certain foods cause them acid reflux. Each person reacts in a different way to the same food. Most people find that acidic foods like tomato sauce, coffee, red wine, chocolate, fried and spicy foods etc, can cause them acid reflux and avoiding these foods can relieve them of the problems of acid reflux.
Foods of Highly refined carbohydrates and sugars also enhance the condition. Try to avoid fast food as much as possible. It is a healthier approach to have meals of fruits like bananas and apples or soups than greasy, fat filled foods like burger and fries. Fast food places will provide you only indigestion. Along with the fast food, consuming big bottles of carbonated soda will surely bring you heartburn. It is better to not have any fluids with meals, as it will dilute the acids required for the proper digestion. Carbonation still makes it worst.
2. Another major cause for acid reflux is taking food under a stressful environment or condition. Never eat food while reading the newspaper or watching TV. The slightest bit of unpleasant condition in our subliminal level can cause stress in us and indigestion thereby. I have observed that yoga and meditation are good means to reduce stress that we are accumulating in our daily life. Just try it.
Did you ever notice the symptoms of heartburn when you mixed eating with some arguments? It is also to known that one should never eat while in a negative mood. This will surely flare up acid reflux.
