Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Geoff, An excellent formula which soothes heartburn every time is GAn cao and HAi piao xiao in equal parts powdered. works every time. It does not treat the underlying pattern, but it sure makes the patient more comfortable.. Eti Domb --- " Geoffrey Hudson, L.Ac.

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2002 Report Share Posted June 26, 2002 Prilosec is one of the top perscribed drugs in the US for heartburn, andI'm sure we all see this quite often in clinic. >>>I think Heat and yin and Qi def are much more common. I have never failed treating a patient with so called heart burn. Sometimes you need to pull the stomach down out of the diagphegm Alon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulling the stomach down out of the diaphragm sounds like you're talking about a hiatal hernia. -- Al Stone L.Ac. <AlStone http://www.BeyondWellBeing.com Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2002 Report Share Posted June 27, 2002 Pulling the stomach down out of thediaphragm sounds like you're talking about a hiatal hernia. >>>Correct since its one of the most common causes of "heart burn".

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2008 Report Share Posted November 29, 2008 you need to find out what is causing the heart burn. A temporary relief would be chamomile or ginger.

Guest guest Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 For indigestion, reflux, heartburn, I find that aloe juice works well along with digestive enzimes. Aloe is one of the few thing that are a curative not just a temporary fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works every time. However, with acid reflux, there is a deeper problem with the digestive system. Lots of probiotics will help - the kind that are packaged specially to get through the stomach acid.
