pregnant with heartburn

[Guest guest]

Martha or anyone,

Can someone recommend safe choices for heartburn during pregancy

besides a pitta friendly diet. I am looking for someone who would like

to take an herbal or e-oils for it. Avipattikar is something I was

thinking of but, I dont know its safety for pregnancy.

Thanks!

Avipatikar churna is very gentle and safe, and takes very little room

in the tummy Maybe a teaspoon mixed in a little warm water before

meals 1/2 hour would be ideal. I have also seen this interesting

discussion of taking a weak acid such as lemon - or natural apple

cider vinegar. It sounds odd, but works very well. Somehow heartburn

is sometimes associated oddly with insufficient stomach juices or thin

stomach mucosa, I'm nt sure which and would love it properly explained.

 

We have two gentlemen I would like to welcome to the group and invite

them to introduce themselves and their background and interest.

Namaste!

Hi LInda and All;

Here's a brief ayurveda commentary on eoils chosen - with the weather

cooling off, if you are feeling chilled it is wise to minimize the

cooling oils such as peppermint and spearmint. The Young Living

blends of ditone, endoflex and juvaflex all taste (to me) quite good a

drop or two in a litre of drinking water. Lemon as well. The ginger

oil is surprisingly mellow, not so sharp as one would expect from

concentrated oil of ginger.
