What Is Acid Reflux?

Acid Reflux is a condition that is very common. It is usually noticed through a burning sensation in the throat and further down the esophogas. Heartburn is another term that people use to describe this condition. It is one of the main indications of Acid Reflux. The clinical name for this disease is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or GERD.

Symptoms of Acid Reflux

Usually, the first symptoms include a burning sensation beginning in the stomach, which gradually moves up into the chest area as well as the throat. The most common reports indicate that most people experience the symptoms during the night.

The Cure For Acid Reflux

Vinegar has been used for thousands of years in the treatment of many ailments. Hippocrates, an ancient physician from Greece is said to have recommended vinegar for ailments ranging from ear infections to rashes, and other cultures used it to prevent viruses.

The best remedy that I’ve come across involves nothing more than honey, apple cider vinegar and water.

• At least two tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar

• Honey to taste

Yes, the concoction is a little on the strange side of things as far as flavour goes, but if your are looking for an extremely fast option in relieving acid reflux so you can get on with your day, or get back to sleep, give it a try!
