Acid Reflux & Heartburn

What is acid reflux? We know what you’ll say — uncomfortable and miserable! But here’s what happens inside of your body when you experience acid reflux.

What causes heartburn? When you eat, food travels from your mouth, through your throat and esophagus, into your stomach. After you eat, the valve between your esophagus and stomach should form a tight seal. You know what happens when it doesn’t — acid burps, stinging pain in your chest, and for some, even vomiting. 

It’s not uncommon to get heartburn from time to time, but if it becomes more frequent, you’ve got a problem. Chronic acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux (GERD) is when you experience heartburn symptoms at least two times per week. 

Eliminating certain foods from your diet can help, especially fried, fatty, or acidic foods. But you can’t avoid your favorite foods forever! (Fried chicken, spaghetti, coffee, and chocolate — yum!) Taking an acid reflux supplement helps to empower your digestion, not only control the symptoms. By building up that digestive strength, you can help prevent instances of heartburn in the future too. 

Our shop offers a large selection including natural remedies for acid reflux and digestive aids so you can eat what you want and feel better again! Magnesium oxide is an excellent alternative to antacids. Other all-natural substitutes for heartburn treatment contain soothing herbs like licorice root, turmeric, or marshmallow root.
