[Guest guest]

Hello everyone!

I am pregnant and am wondering is there a natural remedy, food item, herb, etc that i can take to alleviate my heartburn? I do not want to take Tums or Rolaids everyday, unless of course these are any good for you...i really do not know anymore.

 

Thank you!!

Hi Jasmine, Your body is way too acidic, and you aren't getting

enough calcium in the foods you are eating.

Read post #77077 to learn about the acid alkaline pH balance of

the body and to change your Diet.

Your digestion system isn't working properly, and you need to take

some form of Probiotics, to supply the Friendly Bacteria into your

stomach.

If you follow the info in post #77077, your problems will go away.

 

Smile Tis your choice now!

Hi Jasmine,

First of all, Congratulations on your pregnancy! What a joy to be

bringing in a new life for the new year! As far as heartburn, every

pregnant mommy is different in what they can tolerate...just the

smell

of something can make one want to wretch and yet give great comfort

to

another! You will have to try a few things and see what works best

for

you. Here are some suggestions:

 

Candied Gingeroot: Peel and slice into 1/4 inch thick slices of

fresh,

organic ginger. Barely cover slices with purified water and add 1

cup

of raw honey (preferrably from near where you live) per cup of

slices.

Let simmer over very low heat until all of the liquid has evaporated

and the slices are covered with a thick coating. Spread them on a

stainless steel baking sheet that is lined with unbleached parchment

paper and dry in your oven on the lowest setting until no longer

gooey,

or dry in a food dehydrator. Keep in a tightly covered jar after

they

have cooled off.. Chew on a slice whenever you feel the nausa coming

on.

 

Ginger Tea: Steep slice of fresh raw ginger in water and sip. Add

raw

honey to taste.

 

Mint: Any type of mint that you like will suffice. Use fresh to

chew

on or used dried to make a tea to sip (the key is to sip not gulp!).

Add raw honey to taste.

 

Lavender buds: Fresh or dried lavender buds brewed into tea with

some

raw honey added. Use caution and do not over-steep as the lavender

with get bitter if steeped too long. Sip as per the mint tea.

 

Chammomile Tea: Steep one teaspoon of dried, organic flowers per cup

of water. Sip with raw honey added if desired.

 

Lemon Water: Add a slice of organic lemon to a glass of TEPID (NOT,

I

REPEAT NOT COLD!) OR YOU MAY USE WARM purified water and sip.

 

TIP: VERY COLD WATER is not good for you. It upsets the internal

temperature of your body and then your body has to do extra work to

put

your body back into balance and proper temp. NOONE should drink ice-

water or very cold water (unless they are a lizard and then it does

not

matter-hehe!)

 

Also, Aromatherapy is very helpful. The fragrance should be one that

is comforting to you and DO NOT USE " FRAGRANCE " OILS, ONLY USE PURE

ESSENTIAL OILS! Many of the fragrance oils on the market have toxic

chemicals in them and you do not want to expose yourself to these

while

pregnant. Also, do not use any of the mass market room sprays,

cleaners or other synthetic chemicals. Use only natural and organic

products. Some of the oils that are soothing are lavender, basil,

marjoram and roman chammomile. You may either use a diffuser, room

spray made with the oils, personal inhaler or apply in a VERY diluted

concentration in an organic carrier oil. I am an

Aromatherapist/Herbalist and would be more than happy to help if you

want to contact me off-list.

 

Many blessings to you Jasmine and I hope you have a wonderful, joy

filled pregnancy! Warm regards and Continue to be,

 

Lori

 

P.S. You may have noticed that I left off the traditional saltine

crackers/or dry toast before rising out of bed in the a.m. These

will

just put your body out of balance as they are negative nutrients

unless

you make your own sprouted crackers, then by all means, give them a

try!

Hi jasmine, The pH of the body will vary thru out the day depending

on what we eat, after a person eats, the body is generally more

alkaline and as the food is digested or passed thru the stomach, then

the body will start to become more acidic, if one has enough alkaline

mineral reserves built up in their body to help buffer the acids,

then ones system will stay healthy.

But if a person doen't have enough alkaline reserves built up to

buffer the acids which build up , then the whole body will turn too

acidic and one may become sick and Die, from a lack of Oxygen.

This is what brings on the natural process of Death when we run out

of Oxygen!!

 

My nephews wife is now pregnant and she was having problems, and

now has been taking some good Probotics and most all of her problems

have gone away. She has been taking the Probotics for several months

now. So yes you may take Probitoics and anything else which may help

you.

 

It may be helpful to consider that when a women is pregnant that

her body then has to have many times more Calcium and other Alkaline

minerals to build the bone structure of their children , if they want

a Healthy child!! So this is part of the reason you have more

problems when pregnant, because your body now is trying to provide

you with a healthy child if you do your part and eat correctly!!

If you do not eat correctly, then both you and your child will

suffer!!

 

A women requires 700 times more calcium to stay healthy than a man!!

 

Heartburn is caused because the foods eaten do not contain enough

Alkaline minerals to neutralize the acids created in the stomach as

the body tries to digest these foods!!

 

All Refined foods and processed foods will cause the body to

become too acidic.

 

Example: White flour, white sugar , sodas, candy, pasta's with

meat and tomatoe is a real killer and is very good at causing

Heartburn.

 

You don't have to believe me, check it out for yourself!!

 

Buy yourself some pH strips from the drug store and test your

saliva and urine in the morning the first thing before eating or

drinking anything. Then as you eat foods thru the day, make a record

of what you eat, do this for a week and each morning check your pH

and compare to what you ate the day before and you alone may

determine which foods make you too acidic!! You don't have to

believe me or anyone else, be your own judge for yourself!!

 

If you stop eating refined and process foods and replace them with

fresh fruits and vegetables, you will be much better off.

 

Foods in the cole family are very important: cabbage, brocoli,

brussel sprouts, as well as foods of , onions, carrots, green beans,

celery, apples ,pears, and the like.

 

Smile Tis your choice now!

Hi Jasmine,

 

Lori, here. I hope Joy does not get offended here because she is

truly a fount of knowledge, but I have to disagree with a few things.

 

First, one should not take ginseng while pregnant. It may harm the

fetus.

 

Second, if one has a history of high blood pressure, then one should

avoid licorice during pregnancy.

 

As far as the L-Glutamine and Betaine, I, Personally, would not try

this type of therapy while pregnant. I am not saying that they may

not work, but I think that laboratory extracted components are not

the

best form of therapy to try while pregnant.

 

I totally agree with the green drinks, whey and aloe juice...as long

as they are fresh and organic! If you have a juicer then have fun

with whatever satisfies your cravings...just make sure you only

ingest ORGANIC juice from your fruits/veggie combos!

 

Also, have you ever tried Kefir? I am not talking about the junk you

buy from the store, but real homemade Kefir from raw milk and your

own Kefir grains? It would be a highly nutritious drink for you and

supply all of the " probiotics " that you would need without having to

swallow more pills! If you absolutely cannot tolerate milk, then you

can also culture fruit juice to get the probiotics, you would just

not get the same level of nutrition that you would get from raw

milk. Contact me off-list if you would like more info on Kefir.

 

Also, do you eat enough fat? Whatever you do, do not skimp on fat

whilst pregnant. Just be sure to eat the right kinds of fats.

ABSOLUTELY NO HYDROGENATED FAT! ABSOLUTELY NO SOY OIL, CANOLA OIL,

OR ANY REFINED " VEGETABLE OIL " . Only fat from ORGANIC meat, Extra

Virgin Olive Oil (NOT PURE, THIS IS A MISLEADING LABEL, ONLY, I

REPEAT, ONLY EXTRA VIRGIN AND PREFERABLY UNFILTERED!) Coconut Oil,

Palm oil and Organic Butter are also highly nutritious to mommy and

fetus!

 

Also, I think you would do much better to take a whole food

supplement such as Doc Ian's TN than the " prescribed " prenatals.

Just my humble opinion. I custom blend nutritionals for people if

you cannot tolerate certain ingredients, just contact me off-list if

you need more info.

 

Hope this helps! Continued blessings,

 

Lori

Hello,

 

I was wondering if anyone has any natural remedies or recommendations

for heartburn?

 

Patricia

[Guest guest]

Chamomile is effective for soothing most stomach and esophageal distresses, If you have stomach or esophageal erosions or ulcers, yellow root tea helps stop infection and help the esophagus and stomach heal. Most ulcers are caused not by stress (although this might contribute to the inflammation) or spicy food, but by a bacteria called helicobacter pylorii. Yellow root is effective against this. Reflux (the washing of food back from the stomach into the esophagus) can cause inflammation as well, and this is generally what causes heartburn pain. If you've noticed a sour taste in your mouth when you've been in bed awhile, reflux is definitely part of your problem.There are several effective ways to reduce reflux, such as avoiding tight belts or other restrictive clothing around the middle, avoiding overeating or fatty, rich

food, especially within 3-4 hours of bedtime, avoiding caffeine-containing beverages or foods in the afternoon or evening, reducing weight if you're overweight, and elevating the head of the bed 6" (blocks under the bed frame, pillows don't work). If you're taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) like aspirin or ibuprofin, those are definite contributors. However what worked best for me to stop the reflux that was causing my heartburn was not an herb - it was dried papaya fruit. Most you find is preserved with sulfur, which maintains the fruit color. I used unsulfurated dried papaya, which is brown and leathery--somewhat like jerky. You can either chew it like jerky or suck on a small piece as you would hard candy. I've also soaked pieces in water and then would drink the juice and eat the softened fruit. It's quite tasty and relieves the heartburn almost immediately. Better yet, in

my case, it seemed to actually "cure" the reflux over time. I haven't needed to use the papaya for any reason other than it tastes good in months.I am told that making a tea from papaya leaf is also effective, but I haven't tried that. Papaya juice should also be helpful, but again, I have no experience with anything but the dried fruit.Janet--- On Fri, 11/28/08, sandersp20032003 <sandersp20032003 wrote:sandersp20032003 <sandersp20032003{Herbal Remedies} Heartburnherbal remedies Date: Friday, November 28, 2008, 2:52 PM

Try DGL chewable tablets. This is a licorice extract. Many brands are

available. The Planetary Herbs brand seems to be the least expensive.

I buy at iherbs.com.

I agree with some of the other post about stomach acid with the

exception of removing raw vegetables. Maybe add enzymes and I also

agree with HCL when eating. I don't agree with drinking anything while

eating. Coming from years of personal and professional experience, I

have found people thrive on raw foods with a little supplemental help

for as long as needed. I would also find a good chiropractor. Many

times, adjustments or some nutritional suggestions can make great

improvements. At 70, my mother has cured many years of heartburn with

it. It can also be gall bladder symptoms and more than just stomach

should be adressed. Good probiotics also help a ton. Melissa

I agree with most here. . baking soda, pinch of salt, digestive enzymes,

probiotics, etc. I would also add a teaspoon of good apple cider vinegar

diluted with several ounces of water sometimes has an instantaneous effect. Of

course the biggest help is changing one's attitude and lifestyle in regard to

nutrition and choosing and preparing food to eat. Also, kefir, kombucha tea,

and homemade yogurt and many other fermented foods helped me as well. It helped

when I stopped smoking, heavy coffee drinking, and cut out fast food and much of

the high stress of emergency and ICU nursing. Norma
