Natural Cures For Acid Reflux

There are natural cures for acid reflux, natural, holistic treatments. Have you awakened in the middle of the night with that burning bile scorching your throat? You are on fire! It seems to burn forever.

You probably have a severe case of acid reflux that can develop into GERD. The stomach bile in your stomach causes it. You can cure it forever. I did.

Reasons for GERD and Acid Reflux

Temporary or permanent alterations in the lining of the esophagus cause this disease. When the lower esophageal sphincter [LES] is ineffective or relaxes for an abnormal amount of time, severe acid reflux (back flow) results damaging the soft lining in the esophagus, the mucosal membrane.

Hydrochloric acid sits in the esophagus and is the cause of that heartburn, that burning in your chest. It's no wonder that you have that burning sensation, hydrochloric acid!  When I would get that fire in my chest I just wanted yell out, "Stop this burning pain!"

Sometimes I felt it in my throat. At other times, it sat right around my breastbone. I knew that if I left it untreated it could develop into something more serious, something  like GERD. I did not need a doctor to tell me that.

I did some research and discovered that it could also develop into an inflammation of the esophagus known as esophagitis. Esophagitis shows itself as a difficulty in swallowing and comes with chronic chest pains. The inflammation of course is caused by the acid reflux.

GERD and Acid Reflux Symptoms

I first realized that I was having a serious problem when my voice began to change. It was very disconcerting. All of a sudden, my deep voice took on a higher pitch. "What was going on," I asked my self. Even my children commented on the voice change.

Some people experience pain in their ears. Still others experience sinusitis or hoarseness. Don't let these symptoms go unanswered. They could easily lead to more severe ailments like a narrowing of the esophagus or worse, ulcers.

Luckily for me, I have a concerned wife who kept at me to see the doctor. You know how it is. I guess it's a man thing. I finally went to my doctor. It was a severe case of acid reflux, just this side of becoming the much more severe GERD.

I graduated from over the counter antacids to prescribed medication that the doctor prescribed. After about six months, I got tired of paying for those prescriptions and I also questioned what they might be doing to my body.

I looked for another solution. I looked for natural cures for acid reflux.
