As society evolves, health problems evolve along with it.
In the United States alone, over 60 million people suffer from acid reflux each year.
That's JUST the Unites States! This statistic alone should make you realize that you are not alone in your struggle.
With so many people suffering from acid reflux, cures and methods of alleviating the pain are constantly being researched and uncovered.
This article will look at a few of them.
If you have ever suffered from acid reflux, then you will definitely want to devote the next two minutes of your time to the reading of this article.
In this article, we will discuss two methods of curbing the pain.
Specifically, we'll look at drinking natural ginger tea, and raising your head when going to bed.
Let's get started! Native American Indians discovered the merit of ginger for easing digestion long ago, and it still works today just as well as it did back then.
Pick up a bottle of ginger tea at your local health food store and sip on it during the day.
As you probably already know, the burning sensation that constitutes acid reflux comes from your stomach acids entering, or approaching your esophagus.
When you are standing straight, you have gravity working with you to keep these stomach acids away from your esophagus.
When you lie down however, gravity is no longer able to keep the acids where they belong.
Elevating your head and shoulders while sleeping will help keep your stomach acids "downstairs" and away from your throat.
These two methods may not seem like they would make a big difference, but remember, a LOT of people are searching for a cure for acid reflux every year.
As a result, lots of new methods are appearing.
Try it.
Grab an extra pillow and buy yourself a bottle of ginger tea and experience the results for yourself!
