Herbal Remedy For Acid Reflux

Q.I need a natural remedy for acid reflux and headaches/migraines..? Im nineteen years old and i get migraines and headaches all the time. i am on birth control but its not from that. i have tried lavender bath bubbles and sprays but i dont find much relief.. infact, i think it causes my head to hurt more! I also have been diagnosed with GERD and acid reflux disease and i am looking for alternative medicine. i am currently taking prevacid and pepcid perscription versions. i am sick of taking sooo many pills, please help.

A.I advise that you seek the help of a naturopath or other holistic practitioner. There could be a dozen things affecting your health and no way can we advise you effectively without asking lots of questions. For instance: you could have food allergy. Migraines, mysterious though they are, are often linked to ingestion of certain chocolates, aged cheeses and wine. There are other triggers for sensitive people. Some people get headaches from the food additive MSG; some from aspartame (Nutrasweet). I know a couple of women who've had to stop taking estrogen because it gave them headaches they couldn't live with. Some tips: if your lavender bath product didn't come from a natural food store, it's probably not pure lavender. Pure lavender oil comes in a dark brown bottle and says "pure essential oil" on it. You may be having a reaction to the chemicals put in the soap to make it foamy. Try the real thing. Starwest, Frontier, Aura Cacia and Now Foods make reliable products in the aromatherapy line. Put 3 to 5 drops in the bath, or on a cloth to inhale. Can even be used directly on the temples, base of neck - just keep out of eye area. Also note that acid blockers, if taken for more than just a few weeks, can cause a deficiency of calcium and other minerals, leading to osteoporosis and anemia, among other things. You are right to want to get off them. You might try taking DGL, a form of licorice root, available at the natural food store, for the acid. Get totally off caffeine and all soda pop. Eat 5 very small meals a day & avoid sugar (which is acid forming) while your system heals itself.
