Home Remedies for Heartburn and Acid Reflux Symptoms

True Heartburn Relief

Heartburn is a Billion Dollar Business.

Prilosec, Nexium, and, Prevacid earn $14 Billion every year for heartburn relief, and they increase your risk of heart attack by 20%. (1)

Acid Reflux symptoms, or GERD, are “burning pain below the sternum, chest or even the throat” as the condition worsens.  I have a couple low to no cost home remedies for heartburn to share.

JAMA Neurology reported a 44 percent increased risk of dementia among people taking Prilosec, Nexium, or Prevacid. (2)  Look for yourself, it’s not my opinion.  It’s the observation of the American Medical Association, Neurology Department.

Real doctors in Indonesia noticed that Prilosec causes a much worse Gastro-Intestinal condition, SIBO, in 1 out of 4 patients they prescribe to, in the first month of use.  SIBO means Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth.  The symptoms are abdominal pain and diarrhea.  (3)

Prilosec does effectively reduce heartburn symptoms, but doesn’t quite resolve it.  “Most of the patients still had some reflux symptoms after 8 weeks.”  Perfect Medicine.  For making life-long customers, and the most Profit. (4)

Zantac and Pepcid earned another 300 Million for Heartburn Relief, in 2017.  Zantac only works 31.1% of the time. (5)  Wow, our culture has such low expectations for healing!  Healers can resolve heartburn with their hands.

Are you ready for these safe and effective home remedies for heartburn and acid reflux symptoms?

I use my hands to stimulate these points, and others use needles.  Researchers compared acupuncture to these five points and Prilosec for the treatment of GERD and acid reflux symptoms.

Stimulating these acu-points resolved 70% and markedly improved 93.3% over a course of 8 weeks…

…while Prilosec resolved 43.3% and markedly improved 66.7%! (6)

Hands on Home Remedies for Heartburn that works better than Prilosec.

I’m not sure what 28 acupuncture treatments cost (they treated every other day), or what Zantac twice a day for 8 weeks costs, but acupressure is free, and it can’t hurt.  At True Health, I use acupressure and plant medicines, and we seem to heal just about anything that walks through our doors.

This is our plant medicine that heals the stomach and GERD, in case you are too far away.  True Heartburn Relief

Yes, it’s tested and proven to work.  I didn’t even know that when I gave it to my patients, but it’s true, if you are willing to look!

Chamomile, Peppermint, and Licorice Root were tested just like Prilosec.  The patients that received True Heartburn Relief felt so much relief, the doctors concluded that it “improved dyspeptic symptoms significantly better than placebo.”  It works.  Dyspeptic symptoms may include upper abdominal fullness, heartburn, nausea, belching or upper abdominal pain, and are frequently caused by GERD.  (GastroEsophageal Reflux Disease) (7)

Take a look for yourself, or try it for yourself.  Plants don’t have side effects other than a bad taste, but you risk multiple side benefits.  Chamomile relieves the pain of migraine headaches. (8)  And “significantly relieves GAD, General Anxiety Disorder. (9)

There is more goodness in True Heartburn Relief!  Real Doctors from Bulgaria compared Comfrey and Calendula to Comfrey, Calendula and Antacids for treating ulcer pain.  Huh!?  That looks like they are testing the value of antacids.  That looks like they already know the value of plant medicines, and wonder if American Medicine offers additional help.

Heartburn was relieved in both groups, in 85-90% of the patients, and the ulcers were healed, when viewed by gastroscopy.

They reported that the addition of antacids resulted in a couple days faster relief of pain.  No additional healing.  But the plants work nearly every time. (10)

Comfrey and Calendula

Plants also add beauty to our world.  Medicine is the 3rd leading cause of death.  Ugly. (11) (11.5)

True Heartburn Relief also contains Meadowsweet.  Doctors in Serbia somehow heard the long history of using Meadowsweet for inflammation and ulcer protection.  I guess they were willing to look.

How they tested in the lab was over my head, not being a real doctor and all, but they concluded: “Current study supports documented traditional use of Meadowsweet.”  (12)

My Personal Experience

I’ve never had chronic heartburn, but one time I sipped a beer, and the 5% alcohol, or the carbonation, or whatever, gave me the worst heartburn!  Ouchy!

I did my best to meet my needs.  Our family had just encountered multiple, major life disruptions.  STRESS!  I took some True Calm, which eases tension, stress, and anxiety.  30 minutes later I tried a sip, and was able to enjoy my beer, pain free!

I’ve also used this hiatal hernia technique to relieve heartburn!

If you decide to give our Heartburn medicine a try, add True Calm for when life disrupts so much that you can’t even enjoy a beer.  Plus you’ll get free shipping!

True Heartburn Relief already sounds far superior to Pharmaceuticals, but theres even more!

Marshmallow Root and Slippery Elm: GERD Home RemediesGERD home remedies

It’s true.  Some plants lack scientific validation.  “Marshmallow has been used traditionally for respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, musculoskeletal, and genital systems as well as skin disorders.”(13)  Same for Slippery Elm!

Feel that! 

“Passed along for it’s value for 3,000 years, with no conflict of interest.  No profit to be made.”

Some people agree with me. DrAxe.com says Marshmallow (pictured) is one of the best remedies for heartburn.  And he is a very pretty man.

LiveStrong.com claims “slippery elm acts to coat the inflamed and irritated mucous membranes of the esophagus and lining of the stomach, neutralizing stomach acids. The University of Maryland Medical Center states slippery elm also appears to increase mucus production within the digestive tract. This  further coats, soothes and protects irritated tissues.

But their whole mission is based on a lie, right?

Lance Armstrong lied.  He used hormones that increase the body’s production of red blood cells. If he had taken birth control pills, testosterone or thyroid hormones, if medically diagnosed,  he would have been legit.

But, he took the hormones that rule makers banned.  I find the rules pretty confusing too.  The Rules seem rigged.  I lost 70% of my income because I helped this ladyhome remedies for acid reflux

I was kicked out of insurance for “treating a medical condition.”  They didn’t seem to care about results.  Interesting…

Mother Nature

I present documented proof that True Heartburn Relief offers better RESULTS than anything Big Pharma offers.  Some people just look away, because it doesn’t match what they’ve been led to believe.

I want you to look for yourself.  Do you want to believe that healing isn’t possible, and our only resource is a drug that masks your symptoms?  Do you want to keep contributing to the billion dollar profit of Big Pharma??

Faith, my Sunday School teacher when I was a little boy, warned me to watch out for false Gods.  I think she was talking about the wealthy white men you see on this page.

Take a chance on me.  Lol.  I would never lie, and I’m completely broke.

Click on the bottles below to order True Heartburn Relief.  I’m betting all in on God and Nature.  Literally.  If I get more returns than happy customers, I’d be out of business.

The other men on this page, paid the US Department of Justice 2.3 Billion to settle an investigation of the drug Bextra, for high rates of sudden death. (13)

I swear to you, if I make a billion dollars, it will be for providing healing to our people.  And I wouldn’t hurt people for more profit.

NOTE:  If you have been taking Prilosec for relief, don’t quit suddenly even in exchange for True Heartburn Relief.  Pharmaceuticals cause REBOUND symptoms when you stop them because of their suppressing nature.  Add nature for a couple weeks and then try a day without Prilosec.

Herbal First Aid Kit

Home Remedies for Acute Health Needs

Herbal First Aid from Nature’s Medicine Cabinet

Being prepared matters.

Nature has always provided medicine—plants that support healing when the body is stressed, inflamed, overwhelmed, or out of balance. These remedies are not designed for convenience or sweetness. They are designed for effectiveness.

That’s why traditional medicine often tastes bitter.
Healing asks something of us.


Our Herbal First Aid Kit

We offer most formulas in 2-ounce bottles for ongoing or chronic support.
For acute needs, we created a Herbal First Aid Kit, featuring 1-ounce bottles intended for short-term, higher-frequency use.

Acute dosing:
10 drops every 1–3 hours, depending on symptom severity.

When you purchase a First Aid Kit, you choose any five remedies, plus receive a seasonal essential oil roller.

(Winter corresponds to the Water Element — supporting adaptability, resilience, and the ability to meet fear and disappointment with steadiness.)

Used to support emotional regulation and nervous system balance.

Many families keep this on hand for anxiety, stress reactivity, and difficulty settling—especially in children.

A Different Way to Think About Medicine

Modern medicine often focuses on suppression.
Traditional medicine focuses on regulation and support.

Many pharmaceuticals are derived from plants—but when isolated and intensified, they often come with long lists of side effects. Whole-plant formulas tend to act more gently, supporting the body’s own healing capacity.

This does not mean plant medicine is careless or unskilled.
It means it requires respect, knowledge, and appropriate use.
