Aloe has long been known to help with burns, however did you know aloe juice can help put out the internal flames of heartburn? Aloe juice for acid reflux is one of the many natural remedies that can be used to help relieve the pain of heartburn.

Aloe actually has a number of healing properties, and its enzymes help the body in many ways. Specifically when found in juice form, it can help calm the body?s production of stomach acid and return it to a more natural digestive cycle. The problem with reaching for antacids every time you experience acid reflux is they tend to eliminate all stomach acids, and the body does need some acids to naturally break down food and be able to absorb its nutrients. Aloe juice helps to naturally restore balance to the body and ease indigestion.

For frequent heartburn sufferers, prevention is often the key. So, to keep acid reflux at bay, try drinking a quarter of a cup of aloe juice 10 minutes before a meal. That way your body will be ready to receive and break down the food you throw at it.

It?s important to note though that aloe should only be consumed in juice form. It can be found at your local market or organic food store. Consuming aloe gel from a plant you may have in your home, or gel that?s meant to treat sunburns functions as a laxative and will cause diarrhea. Because of that, make sure you only use aloe gel for topical purposes.

Other natural remedies

Aloe juice isn?t the only thing that can help relieve acid reflux. There are a huge amount of things you can do to help relieve acid reflux without taking medications.

First of all, try drinking a cup of tea. Ginger and chamomile tea both have soothing properties and can help relieve heartburn pain, in addition to diluting acids and washing toxins through the digestive system that much faster.

Even a glass of water can accomplish this task easily. Similarly to tea, it will help wash damaging acids away, giving your stomach a chance to settle. If your heartburn is bad, try mixing your glass of water with a tablespoon or two of apple vinegar cider. This will help speed relief to the burning area.

Additionally, some people have found relief by simply consuming an apple. Something about the apple has compounds and enzymes that help relieve acid reflux. They weren?t kidding when they said an apple a day keeps the doctor away!

To keep heartburn away along with your quarter cup of aloe juice, don?t eat too close to bed time. This helps keep food and acids from creeping up into your esophagus where they don?t belong. If you happen to break this rule, try sleeping propped up a bit. Putting a pillow under your head will also help keep stomach acid down in your stomach, which lets you sleep soundly through the night. Additionally, don?t eat large meals. Smaller meals consumed on a more frequent basis help the digestive system deal with food and nutrients in smaller doses, rather than all at once, which can result in the overproduction of stomach acid.

Aloe juice for acid reflux is only one natural way to douse the flames of heartburn.

Searching for the natural remedy for acid reflux is the only way to eliminate acid reflux from your life. Medically speaking there is no cure for acid reflux, only gimmicks that attempt to sell you on compromising your health by striving for a symptom free state.

Being symptom free certainly sounds good at first and I know when acid reflux hits all you want is instant relief. Well that?s what sodium bicarb and water was all about- that?s a natural remedy for some people. Just be sure your using aluminum free baking soda and don?t use very much and if it comes back, you probably have another issue known as stomach acid deficiency.

It?s important to know that most people who suffer from acid reflux actually have a stomach acid deficiency. I know the commercials have been telling you to take antacids for heartburn, acid reflux and acid indigestion for your whole like- kind of subliminal actually, maybe even auto-suggestive too.

Fact is antacids don?t help acid reflux; they can even make it worse. Like I said a little sodium bicarb perhaps on rare occasions, but seriously selling convenient little anti heartburn candies should be illegal.

They can really mess up your health and once you?ve lost your health, it won?t matter how much money you give them, they don?t have the natural remedies or the cures.

Acid reflux can be cured, but only through natural remedies. You see what doctors don?t know, can kill you. They go to Universities and institutions mostly funded and controlled by pharmaceutical companies. In fact Harvard students recently began demanding Big Pharma get out of their schools and out of their books. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/03/business/03medschool.html

Medical students go to school to better understand how the body naturally remedies itself, or at least that?s how it used to be. The reason is the natural design within all things has a superior intelligence. You can spend your life just learning the amazing healing remedies of the cell, then another lifetime learning how all 60 trillion cells work together to remedy the immune system and so much more.

Acid reflux has a natural remedy and that remedy naturally works with your body?s own intelligence starting at the cellular level.

If you suffer from acid reflux, eat an apple- but don?t peel it. Nature put enzymes in the peel that synergistically help you digest the apple, which in turn gives your body the nutritional remedy you need to improve digestion and cure acid reflux.

Make food your natural remedy not your poison.

If you?re asking how heartburn feels you obviously have never experienced it.

Imagine nearly the most corrosive substance know to man, hydrochloric acid (HCL) splashing up into your sensitive mouth area, again and again and again.

Why does this happen?

Besides the fact that we eat too many processed foods, Americans have been lied to by antacid manufacturers. These so-called antacids actually produce what?s called a stomach acid rebound affect.

You see, the layers of your stomach are very complex and don?t have any problem holding down a bubbling cauldron of caustic acid so powerful it will ?etch? a glass window.

All this volcanic, blistering nasty stomach acid is kept down below by muscular valve called the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES). Now I see two schools of thought which describe exactly how the stomach acid gurgles its way past this esophageal flap.

One idea claims that the stomach acid over powers it, weakens it and allows the forbidden elixir of brimstone and digestive acids to eat their way up into your more sensitive oral cavities.

The other more feasible explanation of how the bubbling curd works its way upward into your mouth, nose and middle ears is because the undigested stomach contents are bulging and piling upward forcing the flap to compromise its integrity.

You see, in actuality most people have difficulty properly digesting food when they get older because they suffer from mineral and nutrient deficiencies. These nutritional deficits are caused from eating a lot of enzyme-barren foods, forcing the pancreas to make enzymes that are usually hidden within raw fruits and vegetables. This also taxes the bile producing gall bladder of important minerals necessary to make stomach acids.

So now here we are, gut full of food eaten days ago, maybe longer, just slowly fermenting like a cow?s belly, simply because there?s no more stomach acid or enzymes left to break it all down faster.

This bulk, presses up ward causing gas, heartburn and acid indigestion, cramps, flatulence and the rest of it. But what?s bad is the body is working hard to produce a much needed ?mega burst? of gastric acid and when it lets it go, it has nowhere to go but up, because your stomach is already stuffed to the brim.

In this case ?the brim? is referring to the Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES).

Now use your imagination. What?s going to happen is noxious stomach acid, from your guts HCL surge, is going to shoot straight up where it should never be. The deep burning sensation is your flesh being etched, blistered and chemically peeled away; the rancid disturbing taste is horribly indescribable.

Over time you?ll experience gum disease, loss of tooth enamel and permanent ?non-kissable? breath. In fact your breath may get so bad no one will want to even talk with you without a ten foot pole to keep a safe distance.

I haven?t even touched on the damage the gastric fumes and stomach acid particles have on your lungs.

This acid reflux situation is so serious it can end up mutating your throat?s tender lining into cancerous leather capable of handling large gulps of hydrochloric and sulfur acids.

Once your throat cells have transformed to literally become more like the stomach lining your Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is likely to progress into throat cancer . . . not a good situation and I don?t want to even imagine what that feels like.

You?ve tried everything they told you to and your heart burn just won?t go away.

There is a solution, but first you have to agree to stop taking the blame. Sure, ultimately we are all responsible for our own health in the end. You really need to be your own authority of these matters, especially when it comes to heartburn.

But your acid reflux suffering is being prolonged by false advertising, incorrect medical diagnosis and deceptive products that only make acid reflux worse.

Did you know the direct-to-consumer advertising you?re exposed to is illegal in every country but the US and New Zeeland?

Why?

Because real health issues are being played down and disease symptoms are being played up, just to get you to ask your doctor to sell you the latest drug or to get you to ignore a serious health condition.

Other countries see through their game and refuse to allow corporations to manipulate the masses with the unethical use of ?the power of negative autosuggestion.?

Just the word ?heartburn? plays down the seriousness of the underlying health problem. Everyone just thinks popping an antacid will get you over it. Well the fact is you?re just treating a symptom by popping that candy elixir, which means you?re ignoring the root cause.

That?s why scientists estimate at least 15,000,000 million Americans suffer from acid reflux diseases, because no one?s acid reflux disease ever gets cured here.

Obviously something is wrong with this picture. If antacids worked why are so many people developing an ?acid reflux disease??

That term sounds a lot worse than having a simple case of ?heartburn?, doesn?t it?

Your heartburn isn?t just a ?food hang over.? There?s something much more serious going on here.

Direct-to-Consumer advertising is a multi-billion dollar investment. No one spends anywhere close to the amount of money drug companies in America do.

Many years ago Swedish researchers proved beyond a shadow of a doubt the antacids where less than effective, in fact it?s clear that antacids cause acid rebound.

Acid rebound is like heartburn on steroids.

That?s right these drugs just delay people from addressing the root cause of acid indigestion. Drug companies are making themselves a fortune by adding more customers, through deceptive means.

Here are some other things you can do to address the cause of acid reflux diseases:

Don?t eat so many processed foods, they only aggravate your acid reflux problem. The most common irritants are caffeine, alcohol, pasteurized milk dairy products, fried and high-fat foods, milk chocolate, blanched, pasteurized or oiled nuts, some tomato products and sugary juices.

Here are some more self-health care tips:

* Don?t eat 3 hours before lying down

* Don’t smoke cigarettes

* Eat smaller, more frequent meals.

* Eat slowly and chew thoroughly.

* Lose 10 pounds

* Sleep with the head of your bed elevated

* Avoid aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and other similar analgesic medications; they can make acid reflux worse.

* eat more magnesium rich foods

* Avoid antacids that contain aluminum if you must take any

* Drink water only between your meals

If you take an antacid for longer than 3 weeks, check with your doctor before continuing. Long-term use of antacids can cause diarrhea, a change in the way the body processes calcium and a buildup of magnesium in the body, among other health risks.
