As anti-acid medications may have unpleasant side effects, many will be interested to learn that one doctor recommends a natural remedy for this common problem.
Dr. Matt Chalmers explains that when stressed, many people stop producing hydrochloric acid which in turn results in too much lactic acid and the burning feeling, according to WFAA.com.
As a result, he and other alternative medicine specialists recommend all-natural pink salt which is a hydrochloric acid nutritional supplement made from beets.
"Pink salt allows your body to create its own hydrochloric acid so that you don’t have to supplement with external acid," he said, quoted by the website.
However, the report also suggests not all mainstream practitioners are convinced of the therapy’s effectiveness.
Among recent studies on natural remedies for acid reflux, Saudi scientists have demonstrated the anti-ulcer properties of the herb known as Eruca sativa (EER).
They found the ethanolic extract of EER significantly reduced the basal gastric acid secretion, acidity and ulceration. The extract also significantly replenished gastric wall mucus, the stomach’s protective layer that becomes eroded by the action of stomach acid.
