Great Herbs for Acid Reflux
There are a number of natural ways to work with acid reflux. Here are some suggestions:
- First of all you have to avoid the offending foods and agents that cause acid reflux disease… then there is no reason for having the disease in the first place.
- Eat dinner no later than 7PM so you can digest your food before going to bed.
- Distress, relax, listen to music, do some yoga, or qigong, or Tai Chi and meditate before going to bed to calm the mind/body
- Stay away from spicy, salty, acid foods and alcohol that might trigger acid reflux.
- And eat 5 or 6 smaller meals instead of 3 large meals a day.
