ginger is good for heartburn and indigestion. If you

go to an oriental grocery, they have ginger candies

there called ting ting jahe, which can be eaten as is

(2 of them usually take care of heartburn for awhile)

or you can dissolve them in hot water and drink like

tea. or you can buy sliced, pickled ginger in a jar,

even ginger ale would help, if it uses ginger instead

of ginger flavor. I used to get terible heartburn,

until a Japanese lady gave me some of the candies.

They don't taste like any candy I had ever

tasted...kind of hot and spicy. but they work! If you

can't find them in an oriental grocery, you can get

them on line. Do a search for Wing Hop Fung. (Im not

associated with them, this is where I buy mine because

it is half the price online than in a store)

How Do You Treat Heartburn and GERD?

Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Feb, 2001 by Andrew

Gaeddert

The most common symptom of GERD, gastro-esophageal reflux disease,

is heartburn. Heartburn is usually experienced as a burning

sensation behind the breastbone that may rise all the way to the

face. Discomfort is caused by acid reflux from the stomach because

the lower esophageal sphincter isn't working properly. Heartburn may

accompany regurgitation or excessive saliva. Complications include

esophageal stricture, ulceration, and Barrett's esophagus, a pre-

cancerous lining of the esophagus. Inflammation of the esophagus may

cause pain during swallowing and bleeding.

 

Other symptoms of GERD may include nausea, burping, coughing, a

bitter taste in the mouth, and respiratory conditions such as

asthma, pneumonia and chronic bronchitis. Physicians conduct

diagnostic tests such as X-ray, esophagoscopy, and a visual exam

with a flexible tube. Other tests include measuring the lower

esophageal sphincter, biopsy, and acidity tests. If you or a client

suspects GERD, it is important to get a thorough diagnosis to rule

out complications, respiratory disease, and heart conditions.

Lifestyle suggestions to alleviate GERD and heartburn include

elevating the head of your bed with 3-6 inch blocks, or foam wedges

that lift your body from the waist up; sleeping on your left side,

stress reduction, exercise, quitting smoking, and reducing alcohol

intake. It is important not to eat before going to bed. Eating 4-6

light meals a day, instead of two or three large meals is highly

important. Food triggers may include dairy products, tomatoes,

citrus fruits and beverages, garlic, peppermint and fish oil

supplements.

 

Gastroenterologists and other physicians treat GERD with antacids,

and acid blocking drugs such as Prilosec and Prevacid. Side effects

of these drugs include headaches, diarrhea, abdominal pain and

nausea. Furthermore, symptoms may worsen once you stop taking the

drug, and the underlying imbalance is not corrected. Finally, some

individuals taking Prilosec for several years notice a degradation

of the stomach lining. It may be helpful to experiment with a

rotation diet such as the Digestive Clearing Program (see my book:

Healing Digestive Disorders) to help identify food intolerance.

Medications such as aspirin and other NSAIDs (non-steroid anti-

inflammatory drugs), calcium channel blockers, asthma drugs, and

hormones may cause reflux.

 

According to Traditional (TCM), heartburn is

usually caused by emotional upset and eating the wrong foods. Reflux

is seen as rebellious qi that is rising where it should be sinking.

Luckily there are several herbal remedies that can be used in

addition to the lifestyle and dietary suggestions mentioned above.

Ease Plus (Chai Hu Mu Li Long Gu Tang) contains:Qystershell Mu Li,

DragonBone Long Gu, Bupleurum Chai Hu, Ginseng Ren Shen, Ginger Gan

Jiang, Pinellia Ban Xia, Scute Huang Qin, Cinnamon Gui Zhi, Rhubarb

Da Huang, Saussurea Mu Xiang, Oystershell Mu Li & Dragonbone Long Gu

(fossilized minerals) are used to reverse reflux by quenching

acidity and redirecting rebellious qi downward. Bupleurum Chai Hu,

harmonizes qi and has anti-inflammatory properties. Rhubarb Da

Huang, guides energy downward, Scute Huang Qin, a berberine-

containing herb has anti-microbial properties, Saussurea Mu Xiang

harmonizes the flow of qi. Ginseng Ren Shen and ginger Gan Jiang

strengthen the digestive organs and calm nausea respectively.

Finally, Pinellia Ban Xia harmonizes qi and dispels phlegm.

In general I recommend combining Ease Plus with Quiet Digestion:

(Poria Fu Ling, Coix Yi Yi Ren, Shen Chu Shen Qu, Magnolia Hou Po,

Angelica Bai Zhi, Pueraria Ge Gen, Red Atractylodes Cang Zhu,

Saussurea Mu Xiang, Pogostemon Huo Xiang, Oryza Gu Ya, Trichosanthes

Root Tian Hua Fen, Chrysanthemum Ju Hua, Halloysite Chi Shi Zhi,

Citrus Ju Hong, Mentha Bo He), a remedy traditionally used for food

stagnation.

 

With emotional distress combine Ease Plus with Escape Restraint (Yue

Zhu Wan) which contains: Red Atractylodes root Cang Zhu, Ligusticum

root Chuan Xiong, Cyperus rhizome Xiang Fu, Gardenia fruit Zhi Zi,

Massa Fermentata extract Shen Qu. If the patient has copious phlegm,

Ease Plus can be combined with Clear Phlegm (Wen Dan Tang):

(Pinellia Ban Xia, Citrus Peel Chen Pi, Poria Fu Ling, Aurantium Zhi

Shi, Bamboo Shavings Zhu Ru, Arisaema Tian Nan Xing, Agastache Huo

Xiang, Acorus Shi Chang Po, Licorice Gan Cao). With heat signs

including fast pulse and red tongue, and bitter acid regurgitation,

Coptis Purge Fire is the adjunct of choice. It contains: (Coptis

Huang Lian, Lophatherum Dan Zhu Ye, Bupleurum Chai Hu, Rehmannia

Sheng Di Huang, Tang Kuei Dang Gui, Peony Bai Shao, Anemarrhena Zhi

Mu, Akebia Mu Tong, Scute Huang Qin, Phellodendron Huang Bai, Alisma

Ze Xie, Plantago Seed Che Qian Zi, Gentiana Long Dan Cao, Forsythia

Lian Qiao, Gardenia Zhi Zi, Licorice Gan Cao, Sophora Ku Shen).

1Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar in the morning and evening. A

lot of heartburn actually is caused by the stomach not

making enough acid! Drs. used to think it was too

much acid. When it's just the other way around.

vinegar adds the necessary acid to the stomach. Also

digestive enzymes may help when taken 30 minutes prior

to eating.

 

Many of my clients that deal with heartburn or

digestive issues are deficient in digestive enzymes,

EFA's, minerals and amino acids.

I had horrible heartburn the other night! I couldn't get enough vinegar down to

help me,

but did have some raw almonds. I slowly ate a few of them one at a time and it

helped for

awhile. Other home remedies I found on the internet that night (when I couldn't

sleep)

included Sprite, chewing gum, & apple cider vinegar.

Oh, my husband use to get terrible heart burn every day. Any type of food

would set it off. He would take about 3 droppers--sometimes straight and

sometimes in a small glass of water--of Dr. Schulze's Digestive Tonic and

the heart burn would stop. Again his web site is WWW.herbdoc.Com (I don't

get a dime from this). It's tastes very strongly of peppermint because that

is one of the best digestive herbs there is--and digestion is the key to

heart burn. You can also drink some strong peppermint tea if you keep the

tea bags on hand. Use at least 2 or 3 bags per cup of tea. This (the tonic)

would stop his heart burn almost immediately. He wound up carrying the

bottle of tonic in his pocket when we went out.

 

But when I read the book Fit For Life by the Diamonds, and I had him start

eating his carbs and protein separately, he quit having heart burn or any

digestive problems at all. And he got this relief after just three days on

the " program " --he felt wonderful, no bloating, no heart burn, no cramps.

All you do is eat meat and veggies at one meal, and your carbs and veggies

at the other meal. No meat and carb together. No bread and meat, no pasta

and meat, no potatoes and meat. Meat and veggies (other than potatoes) so

you can have a big salad, or veggies any way you want to eat them, but no

bread, no pasta, with the meat. When you want potatoes or pasta, just have

it with everything except meat. So if you want potatoes you can have a nice

salad, some veggies and a big baked potatoes with toppings that don't

include protein--so no cheese, no bacon bits, etc. But you can have sour

cream and butter. The Fit For Life books are very interesting and

informative. I would recommend them to anyone.

 

Samala,

Renee---PS, shouldn't this post be considered an advertisement, 'cause even

though I'm not making any money off it, I'm sure sending someone off to

Schulze's web site or the book store to buy one of these products. :-)

That's why it's so important to let everyone state what they want about what

works and what doesn't work, even if they--gasp!!--make some money off it.

Just about EVERYTHING we post here is word-of-mouth advertising for someone!

And trust me, if Schulze had an affiliate program, I believe in his

products so much I'd be selling them. So, according to some people here, if

I were selling them I therefore wouldn't be able to mention these great

products, and people would go on suffering with heartburn. Just doesn't

make sense to me.

for heartburn,

Pineapple best fresh and papaya also best fresh. There are papaya and

pineapple tabs at places like Trader Joes.called Bromelain,( Latin name for

Pineapple) But canned is good, fresh is better. Also do like the old folks did,

no

liquids with food. Liquids should be consumed after eating and then should

only be a glass of water at room temperature only.

You can also get swedish bitters and follow instructions on the bottle.

Peace,

thyme
