Remedies To Relieve Heartburn

• According to “Heinerman’s Encyclopedia of Healing Juices” (Prentice Hall, 1994), Dr. John Heinerman recommends drinking banana juice (blended with other fruits like pear and papaya) because it helps neutralize the hydrochloric acid reflux felt in the back of the throat and at the same time its slippery condition helps “push” the protruded portion of the stomach that has entered into the chest cavity.
  Banana’s rich potassium content helps strengthen the LES by promoting more even and frequent muscle contractions.
• Author Isabelle Navarre-Brown reveals in “76 Ways to Use Noni Fruit Juice” (Direct Source, 2001) that the use of noni fruit juice can bring about relief from heartburn. Taking noni juice before a meal will help treat the underlying causes of the distress while taking it after a meal will better address the symptoms of heartburn.A natural tropical fruit found to contain over 150 nutraceuticals which include 20 amino acids, 9 of which are essential because they are not produced in the body, vitamin A, all the B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene, ursolic acid, linoleic acid, proxeronine (bromelain), scopoletin, pectin, phytosterols, calcium, magnesium & zinc.
• Do not exercise on a full stomach because it increases intra-abdominal pressure, which causes heartburn. Wait at least two hours after a meal before exercising. Reflux is more likely to take place when the stomach is loaded with a lot of food.
• Since reflux can occur when the digestion process is sluggish, digestive enzymes can help with food digestion and stop any reflux. An enzyme formula which contains the enzyme protease (for protein digestion) may or may not cause irritation. Digestive enzymes should be taken 15 to 30 minutes before meals.
• Deglycyrrhizinated licorice was found to be as effective as the antacid drug Tagamet for healing stomach ulcers. Take 1-2 wafers (or tablets) 15 to 20 minutes before a meal and 1 to 2 hours before bedtime.
