Persistent-Heartburn---A-Prominent-Indicator

1. Persistent Heartburn - A Prominent Indicator

Persistent-Heartburn---A-Prominent-Indicator_0_0

Persistent heartburn is a hallmark symptom of GERD, characterized by a burning sensation in the chest or throat. This discomfort worsens when lying down or bending over, and it requires immediate attention. A soothing herbal remedy like Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) can offer relief. With its anti-inflammatory and calming properties, chamomile tea can be prepared by steeping 2 teaspoons of dried chamomile flowers in a cup of hot water for 5-10 minutes. Sip this tea 2-3 times daily to ease symptoms.

Regurgitation---A-Sour-Taste-of-GERD

2. Regurgitation - A Sour Taste of GERD

Regurgitation---A-Sour-Taste-of-GERD_1_0

GERD often leads to regurgitation, where stomach acid and undigested food flow back into the mouth, causing a sour or bitter taste. This condition can also result in bad breath and a foul taste. Incorporating Ginger (Zingiber officinale) into your diet may help manage regurgitation. Renowned for aiding digestion and reducing stomach discomfort, prepare a ginger infusion by adding 1-2 teaspoons of freshly grated ginger root to a cup of hot water. After steeping for 10 minutes, strain the infusion and enjoy this soothing drink.

Chronic-Cough-and-Sore-Throat---GERD's-Lingering-Effects

3. Chronic Cough and Sore Throat - GERD's Lingering Effects

Chronic-Cough-and-Sore-Throat---GERD's-Lingering-Effects_2_0

Chronic cough and sore throat are common outcomes of GERD's irritation in the esophagus and throat. The acid reaching the throat triggers irritation, causing persistent coughing and discomfort. For relief, consider using Slippery Elm (Ulmus rubra). Its mucilage content forms a protective layer over the throat and esophagus, soothing irritation and reducing coughing. Prepare Slippery Elm throat lozenges by mixing 1 tablespoon of powdered Slippery Elm bark with honey and shape them into small lozenges. Consume as needed for relief.

4. Difficulty Swallowing - A Serious GERD Concern

Difficulty-Swallowing---A-Serious-GERD-Concern_3_0

GERD can lead to difficulty swallowing or a feeling of a lump in the throat, known as dysphagia. This occurs due to inflammation and narrowing of the esophagus. For relief, consider using Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis miller). Aloe Vera juice soothes the esophagus and promotes healing. Consume 1/4 cup of Aloe Vera juice 20-30 minutes before meals to ease swallowing difficulties.

Questions-and-Answers_4_0
