Video: 6 Home Remedies for Acid Reflux Acid reflux is painful. Food and acid splash into the esophagus and cause belching, heartburn and, in some severe cases, chest pains. Some individuals have experienced pain so intense they thought they were having a heart attack. If you suffer from acid reflux, you need to take inventory of your life and determine what’s causing or exacerbating the problem. 1. Increasing natural production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach is the first step to preventing acid reflux symptoms. I also recommend taking a plant derived Betaine HCL supplement before meals. 2. Processed foods and sugars are almost a guaranteed way to exacerbate acid reflux and create a bacterial imbalance in the stomach and intestinal tract. 3. Enzymes are found in abundance in raw food but the act of cooking food over 116° Fahrenheit destroys the health promoting enzymes. 4. I recommend taking one tablespoon of raw organic apple cider vinegar mixed in about 4 ounces of purified water before each meal. 5. 6. – Dr.

MYO Natural Ginger-Based Pain Killing Press Photo credit: bigstock.com A world famous researcher on the therapeutic effects of common household spices, Dr. Krishna Srivastava, conducted a study at Odense University in Denmark, and found that ginger is a superior pain relieving remedy, more so than many of the over the counter pain relievers sold today. Common over the counter pain remedies such as ibuprofen and naproxen, although effective on some types of pain, have no effect on the production of cytokine. Cytokines are substances that can have an inflammatory effect in the body and are a major contributor to pain signals the body receives. In this study, both betamethasone and ginger were effective in reducing cytokines but ginger has absolutely no side effects, something betamethasone cannot claim. Dr. This study was published in the Journal of Pain and it mentioned that both raw ginger and powdered ginger all had the same effectiveness against inflammation and pain.

15 Natural Remedies for Heartburn & Severe Acid Reflux Heartburn is something that most adults will experience during their lifetime. It is characterized by an uncomfortable burning sensation right behind the breastbone that often times creeps up the throat, and is a symptom more so than a disease.

The result is acid from your stomach goes back up your esophagus, which then causes the sensation of heartburn. 1.

Five herbs your liver will love Share by PF Louis – Natural News The liver is the largest solid organ in our bodies. It can be adversely affected by poor diet and lifestyle choices, alcohol consumption, acetaminophen, non-prescription pain killers, and the myriad of toxins in our environment. It is responsible for filtering blood from toxins and converts waste products from metabolic functions into urea to be eliminated by urine. It also filters out toxins from the blood stream and synthesizes glutathione, the master antioxidant that also helps recycle other spent antioxidants. As our liver goes, so goes our overall health. Not everyone agrees to the viral aspect of hepatitis, especially hepatitis C, but everyone agrees that inflammation is the issue. Mainstream medicine is quick to jump on serious interventions, such as liver transplants, if they perceive too much damage for the liver to recover. The more serious the liver problem is, the more of these herbs can be utilized. Curcumin capsules are readily available.
How to Make a Castor Oil Pack for Lung Cleansing Castor Oil Packs have been used successfully over the years for lung cleansing. Castor oil has long been used as a folk remedy for a broad spectrum of ailments, including skin conditions, to liver and gallbladder cleansing. In addition to well-known applications of castor oil, Edgar Cayce strongly recommended using castor oil packs to stimulate waste elimination and lymphatic circulation. Today, millions of people use homemade castor oil packs to help draw toxins out of the uterus, digestive system, liver, and lungs. While the packs are not expensive to make, it is essential to use only organic, cold-pressed castor oil. Using less expensive and chemically extracted oil is not the area to cut costs; using chemicals to extract castor oil will diminish the efficacy of the natural compounds contained. Basic Ingredients Instructions It is believed that this helps by breaking up and drawing out stored toxins and congestion from the lungs. – Dr. References: Steve Hamlin.
