5 Acid Reflux Natural Remedies That Really Work


1. Baking Soda – Topping the list of the most common and still effective natural remedy for heart burn is good ole baking soda. This isn’t just an old wives tale…in fact, Dr. Alvarez recommends periodically taking 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to help neutralize stomach acid.

It is a proven remedy that has provided relief for many people over the years. It’s best not to use it on a daily basis for prolonged periods of time because of the high salt content, especially if you have a related health problem.


2. Ginger, Licorice and Camomile – Professional herbalists recommend ginger, licorice and camomile for their internal soothing properties. You can take these herbs in tea, tincture or pill form for relief from heart burn.


3. Vinegar – Vinegar is another top natural acid reflux treatment that many people use for relief. It helps to control excess stomach acid. It’s natural enzymatic properties assist in healing and digestion. Natalie Butler, R.D., L.D. suggests, “One teaspoon to one tablespoon is a typical dosing range. This should be diluted in one cup (8 oz.) of water.”

One caution: Be careful to avoid damaging the enamel on your teeth by diluting the vinegar in water and by perhaps drinking through a straw to avoid contact with your tooth enamel.


4. Bromelain Papain – This amazing substance derived from pineapple is very effective because of its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to heal the wall of the stomach and esophagus. Many digestive aids contain bromelain papain. Always choose a supplement form that is pure and has a high content of bromelain papain for best results.

This substance is well worth taking before or after meals to help soothe and health your stomach. It can be taken daily or whenever you feel you need some relief.


5. Slippery Elm – This herb is especially good for coating the lining of an irritated stomach. You can take 2 tablespoons of slippery elm in a glass of water for superior soothing effects.
