Can anyone share some recommednations on herbs that can help with acid

reflux disease please? I have a coworker that is battling with that to

the point where the acid is eating away at his esophagus and

unfortunately all of the " Wonder Drugs " the doctors have put him on are

not working.

 

I appreciate any information you can share with me.

 

Thank you,

I would start him on slippery elm. I'd make a tea out of the cut and sifted using approx. 1 tsp pe 2 cups of water, make a cold infusion (take cold water over the slippery elm, let sit for a few hours, then you can heat it , but DO NOT boil, it will kill the mucilage which is what helps heal. Add some raw honey to it. I would also have him get powdered slippery elm and have him take 1 tsp 3X per day mixed in a small amount of organic whole milk yogurt, he can add a little cinnamon to it. He can also add the slippery elm in to some oatmeal if he doesn't want the yogurt. It helps with the acid and healing the mucous membranes.

 

Red clover tea ( long infusion 4-8 hours using 1 cup of red clover to 1 quart of water) will also be very helpful.

I have found that calendula is the best thing for any stomach problems. I make a tea but also carry capsules in my purse.

My husband has suffered from this for years and the dr wanted to

eventually do surgery. He finally went to a nutritionist and

stopped all caffeine, alcohol and did a major diet adjustment with

his guidance. He no longer takes anything for his GERD. He had to

do a drastic change in diet for a few months then he was able to add

back some of the things he had to cut out. He now only has a

problem if he has too much coffee or we go to a party with all that

bad food and drink.

My favorite combination is burdock and marshmallow root, and nettles. Drin it as a tea three times a day or make a tincture to take the same way. Have him take the tea before meals.
