Dealing with Acid Reflux

Since I turned 36 last year, I started having serious complaints of acid reflux. I would eat and then a few moments later, I would experience the worst heart burn you can imagine! No amount of fruit salts and Alka-Seltzer's would ease the pain. Eventually, I ended up going to a doctor and he gave me a long list of medicines. I thought hard and decided that I did not want to become dependant on medication.

I became adamant on experimenting with natural remedies in search for a solution. After s lot of research, I discovered a few great tips for acid reflux relief. First of all, I made a firm commitment to eat at least three hours before hitting the sack. I ensured that my meals were not too large and that I ate frequently, rather than having big meals. I also invested in an acid reflux pillow designed for this purpose. I must say, the pillowcase was money well spent.

I ate products known to heal the esophagus such as organic honey, marshmallow and licorice. These easy and cheap solutions really have a lot of healing power. My diet now consists of a lot of fruits, vegetables and water. In less than three weeks, I began to see visible changes; I looked better and felt better. I lost some weight due to eating smaller meals and adding fruits and vegetables to my diet. I did not have any more intense heartburn episodes, only a mild encounter once in a while.

The wonderful thing about all this was that I dealt with my problem and cured it without buying even a single medicine which the doctor had prescribed. This really made me feel great!

After all, nature is a true healer and problems arise only when we go against it.
