Herbs For Acid Reflux

Q.My baby has acid reflux; he is 7 mnths. old. What can help his pain without giving some sort of meds? I do not want his stomach to not create the acid in which it naturally needs for proper food digestion by taking medications! What are some natural remedies? Also, he eats formula- nestle goodstart; what is the best acid reflux friendly formula for a 7 month old? can you suggest some natural herbs for me to do instead of taking my baby to the hospital for medical treatment?

A.I would not suggest medicine, since it only treats problems and not causes,, and destroys the body. I would suggest th following. These are some extracts from a book I am busy writing. You can use as a tea or tincture,, I would suggest a tincture sinc it is an infant. Easier for consumption, and stronger and gets to work faster. Here is how to make it. **Tea. Use 2 teaspoons of dried herbs in teapot, 500ml water and simmer for 5min. drink at least 3 cups a day. *Tinctures. Use 1Lt Vodka and 240g oil. Put all in a 2Lt glass container that can seal. Leave somewhere out of sun for two weeks, turning and shaking daily. Strain through a muslin cloth into a dark bottle and label it with herbs and date. Lasts for about 18 months. Adults use 5ml 3 times a day, children and over 70 use half that and babies only a few drops. Meadowsweet, Queen of the Meadow (Filipendula Ulmaria) Use Arial Parts Is a valuable remedy for most digestive problems, from heart burn and acid reflux, stomach ulcers and inflammation to loose bowel. It contains salicylic acid, a potent anti-inflammatory which is the active ingredient in aspirin. There is no danger in causing irritation to the stomach lining like when using aspirin or the other NSAIDS (Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), but is a stomach healer. It reduces stomach acid, protects and heals the stomach lining and is gently astringent to the intestine. COMBINE with Glycyrrhiza, Matricaria, Melissa or Symphytum. Its salicylic acid contents makes it usefull for those suffering from rheumatic pains in the joints and muscles and it can help bring down a fever. COMBINE with Glycyrrhiza, Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) or Harpagophytum for rheumatism and COMBINE with Achillea, Sambucus and Nepeta Cataria (Catmint) for fevers. CULINARY: It’s still sometimes used to flavour meads and beers. OTHER: The flowers, which have an almond-like scent, and the leaves, which are also sweetly fragrant, were both used as strewing herbs in former times, and their smell was said to ‘make the heart merry and joyful and delight the senses?
