Herbal Remedy for Acid Reflux/Esophageal Dysphagia....Anyone Know? I would like to know if anyone has tried or used any herbal rememdy to deal with acid reflux, more specifically "esophageal dysphagia?" It's when acid reflux causes the esophagus to contract or makes it difficult to swallow.I understand acid reflux can cause this and other things, and I am changing my diet. However, I would like to know if there is anything in an herbal remedy to try, that not only could help with this, but also help in easing spasms of the esophagus and muscles in general. Reseach has led me to find out about "Baptesia tincotria" and "Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)" - however, I just don't know where to buy them, and if indeed they come in tea-form. Does anyone know?

I used to get acid reflux and I found that a small amount of baking soda (maybe half a teaspoon) in water did wonders. That's because the baking soda is fairly alkaline. I've been on an anti-yeast diet for over a year and I almost never experience reflux any more (just when I go off the diet for a while, especially if I eat processed foods).

If you haven't already, try searching Thorne Research website. I used it for detox under the supervision of a holistic practitioner. I drank one serving 6-7 times per day for 7 days. Then slowly (over a couple weeks) I introduced food back into my diet. First with raw greens, cauliflower, no fruit, raw apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, tiny bit of olive oil for the first few days. Then other foods, cooked and eventually meats, fish. Good luck!

These capsules are package in gelatin so one can take it without tasting the herbs inside. Also capsules allow the swift passage down esophagus into stomach and then through the intestines where it begins working to clear toxins and backed up undigested foodstuff. Please take it as directed on label.

I don't know what's really in it but it does ease a scratchy throat like slippery elm root tea does. It is pleasant tasting and helpful in getting a restful nights sleep. I will buy it again and recommend it to friends.

I'm not sure of all the plants used in it. I know it has aloe vera which helped me a lot during gall bladder trouble. I can contact the manufacturer until Monday. I will let you know something then. Do you have plant allergies? If you let me know what they are that may help.

HI again! I wanted to add that topical treatments like this are a must.But there are some fantastic supplemental formulas too. CURAMIN is such a strong pain reliever that it out does my prescriptive pain relievers for certain types of pain. And I've had my shoulder pulled out of the socket by muscle spasms and then held there for a year while my massage therapist worked on tearing my muscles back into shape and it popped back in.

I don't know. I only know it doesn't give me reflux (acid indigestion symptoms). Call the company and ask. Also if acid reflux is an issue, you might try adding Calci Blend (sold on Amazon) it's like a Tums tablet that you sprinkle in your coffee. No taste to it.

I don't think so. If you're looking for relief from acid reflux as I was; I can make another suggestion. I started taking a Multi strain probiotic with a count of 50 billion. It has been a huge help with acir reflux issue.

How often are you eating Matt? The product works by allowing you to secret more geralin in your stomach and also fills your cannabis receptor site allowing some to get the "muchies". Are you fololwing the manual by not drinking plain water always drinking sodas, juice, and other sugary things? I know the manual included with your package has some great ideas.

Hi Jane,Thanks for your suggestions. Well, about detox with this tea, am not quite sure, may be everyone reacts differently to it. It din't work out for me either. My whole face was covered with acne it was just horrible, really horrible. Along with that I also got some itchy rashes over my arms and legs too. The acne and rashes both improved after I stopped the tea.No more detoxing stuff for me I guess, was quite an experiment. Take care.

There is a natural component in aloe vera gel that causes a laxative response. That action is different for each person. I can take two and it does not effect me. I would suggest taking one to start with if you are concerened. I have not experience pain or discomfort from them. I do not experience Gerd and my upper and lower digestive tract feels soothed. I had gall bladder surgery a few ago and the gel really helped me digest food better.

This tea worked great for us. I would rate it as "better" since it works so well and is less expensive that traditional medicinals. Drinking the tea twice a day would help increase my supply significantly.I also used the earth mama nipple butter, baby lotion and baby wash.Fantastic line of products!

I just found your posts searching the internet because I too have an itchy rash and I drank the tea over the weekend. I have never had any allergic reactions to food before and from what I read it is possible to get a rash from detox;~/

I only use it for heart burn or what is called acid reflux. I changed my diet and got off almost all meat (this is a bad acid builder) and went to vegetables in salads or soups (can find some great ones on the internet. As a result i have quit taking omeprazol (which was expensive) and had to take it every day. Now, I only take it when I feel a little heart burn. I just had an endoscopy taken and found that after 1 year of NO ameprazol and changing my diet I only need to use this three to four times a week! The doctor thought I should use the prescription and asked me what I would do if my test was worse than a year ago. I said it would be better and--the ulcers in my esophagus are gone and there is great improvement on the redness. Ha Ha to the medical professions refusal to think natural things often work better. I hope this helps.

DO NOT TAKE IF YOU HAVE HEART PROBLEMS!!!! This product is not good for people with high blood pressure or any kind of heart problems. It does nothing but good things to me but my mother complained of a racing heart and a pounding head ache very soon after taking it. My sister got an instant headache as we'll soon after taking the product and she's 14 years with no know heart problems; however she has complained of chest pains in the past. It's an energy drink like red bull or 5 hour energy there not recommended for people with heart problems!
