Clinically Proven Natural Cures and Home Remedies for Acid Reflux
 There are many effective home remedies for acid reflux. Acid reflux, also known as heartburn, also known as hiatal hernia is caused by stomach acid backing up into the esophagus. This condition can be a precursor to esophageal cancer, so you must make the most of your home remedies for acid reflux and snuff it out entirely and immediately.
| The main causes are faulty diet, lack of pro-biotics and lack of digestive enzymes. | In holistic medicine, we do not focus on attacking a disease. Rather, our emphasis is on giving the body the tools it needs to heal itself and strengthen the affected body system. In this case, the digestive system must be strengthened with a variety of home remedies for acid reflux. Nutritional deficiencies must be corrected as well. For acid reflux, it is important to supplement with a non-dairy pro-biotic powder (healthy flora and fauna for the digestive tract, particularly the colon), and powdered digestive enzymes. These can be added to your daily health drink. If you have a severe case, you need to give your digestive system a rest. Try to think of your digestive system as that of a six month old baby. You must pamper it. 
| One of the most powerful home remedies for acid reflux is pureed foods. If you would be willing to puree your food, even for just a few days, you will get a tremendous jump start on the problem with immediate relief. | Here’s how: make fruit smoothies in your blender using any fresh fruit except citrus. Maybe add some PowerUp and hemp protein powder or a product called Raw Power for extra oomph. Make a pot of fresh vegetable soup with some millet or brown rice (see recipe section) and puree it in the blender. Make a cold gazpacho soup with salad ingredients. Use your seasonings to make these taste good (yes, you can make them taste good, I swear). See recipe section. 
If you don't have time to prepare and puree your foods, eat organic baby food for a few days, although it's critical that you have at least a fresh fruit smoothie. You must have fresh, uncooked fruit and vegetables (salads or cold soups) to heal. | Remember, you must address the cause of the problem to bring about a permanent solution. | Essential Holistic Protocol for Acid Reflux My approach to healing virtually any health problem is essentially a simple three part protocol.

ReflexologyOn the bottom of your foot, the esophageal spot is between the arch and the ball of the foot. Massage this spot with your thumb using a small circular motion for five minutes a day on each foot. You may have to press down kinda hard and wiggle your thumb around till you find the point. You’ll know you’ve found it when you feel a twinge of pain (sorry). Click here and scroll down for chart. 
Homeopathy

Aromatherapy
Inhale a blend of a few drops each of peppermint and chamomile oils. You can also rub this on your stomach but test a drop on your hand first. Some folks have a stinging reaction to essential oils when applied to the skin. You can always dilute the essential oils with a little almond oil before applying directly to the skin.
