Acid Reflux Cure With Apple & Honey

Acid reflux is a condition in which the esophageal sphincter does not close properly, allowing stomach acid to escape into the esophagus. This causes a painful burning sensation in the chest. Often, poor eating habits have weakened the esophageal valve. Apple and honey provide natural relief.

  1. Apple

    • Apples have a high pectin content, which aids digestion and soothes the digestive system. Apples and apple derivatives are well known for their ability to ease the discomfort of acid reflux. They are also a great source of fiber.

    Honey

    • Honey has been valued since ancient Egyptian times for its medicinal properties. Taking honey helps coat the esophagus, enhances digestion and aids in proper digestive function. Honey also has antibacterial qualities, which help fight off any unwelcome bacteria in the system.

    Use

    • Shred a red delicious apple and mix with a tablespoon of honey. Eat as a tonic before meals to properly start the digestive process. Also, if you awaken at night with acid reflux, eat the apple and honey right before going to bed to soothe your system and get you through the night. Eating apple and honey every day will help ensure proper digestion and ease acid reflux.
