Answers:
Hi Mrs F, no need to use antacids and baking soda, which have unwanted side effects and contain aluminum.
Anise, peppermint, and lavender
Here’s a tea that you can make to help you with acid reflux or heartburn. It will help you reduce the amount of acid you have in your stomach. Mix together equal amounts of aniseed, peppermint and lavender. Make an infusion of this tea:
* boiling 2 1/2 cup distilled water
* pour this water over a teaspoon of the herbal mixture
* let this tea sit for 3- 5 minutes
* strain the tea and add a little bit of honey if you like.
* place this tea in a thermos
Drink up to 8 oz in the morning and 8 oz in the evening to get relief of acid reflux.
Betain, Pepsin, and Papaya digestive enzymes also is very good. Please look article: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/acid_re...
