When you are suffering from heartburn, the main thing that you
want to do is to stop the pain. Today's medical knowledge of
heartburn has led to the development to various drugs that have
the ability to stop or ease heartburn. However if you want to
try alternative forms of medication, then what are the remedies
that you have available to you?
There are some Herbal heartburn remedies that have been known
and used for quite some time now. The three most commonly used
herbal remedies are chamomile, which is botanically known as
Matricaria Recutita. Peppermint which is also botanically known
as Mentha Piperita and Ginger that is botanically known as
Zingiber Officinale.
These three herbal heartburn remedies fall into a group of
herbs that are described by the General Nutrition Center as
"carminative". They all have the ability to relieve indigestion
and ease irritation that occurs in the intestines. The herb
chamomile is traditionally recognized for its calming
properties. As chamomile has a high calcium content it has the
ability to decrease stomach acid. Therefore chamomile is thought
to help ease esophageal irritation and help with proper
digestion.
Ginger has been used traditionally for dealing with many
different gastrointestinal (stomach) problems. Ginger also has
some anti-inflammatory as well as anti-nausea properties. Both
these actions of ginger give relief to heartburn sufferers.
There is one other action that ginger is widely known for.
Ginger is a very good herbal heartburn remedy as it aids in the
proper digestion process by promoting spontaneous intestinal
movement.
Peppermint is also thought to have healing properties against
indigestion. Peppermint also has the additional property of
calming the stomach. A study that was done of peppermint in
combination with the caraway fruit found that they have the same
ease of relieving the symptoms of heartburn as Chamomile and
Ginger do.
The General Nutrition Center has suggested that herbs that have
a "bitter digestive stimulant" property might be used as well.
They believe that theses herbs may produce natural digestive
enzymes. Herbs like blessed thistle are advocated in the hopes
that they will alleviate heartburn. As there is no clear way of
knowing their effects, blessed thistle and other such herbs are
not as universally recommended.
Whereas chamomile, ginger and peppermint are known and
recognized for their potential as a herbal heartburn remedy. As
with all medications, you should consult a doctor before you
begin using any sort of herbal remedy. This way you can take
care that the herbal heartburn remedy will not conflict with
your other ongoing medicational treatments.
So, if you want to go `chemical free' in your quest to find
your heartburn cure, then I suggest you go about finding your
own herbal heartburn remedy now. After all there's time like the
present!
