Not everyone even heard that potato juice is actually one of the most effective products against acid reflux. As soon as potato juice is consumed it is very quickly removing unpleasant burning symptoms. Fresh potato juice is also improving the general condition of gastritis with high acidity. In fact this disease with high acidity is often the main reason why we experience acid reflux.

Potato juice recipe:

Potato juice is always prepared immediately before consumption.
When we choose the potatoes we should pay attention to the color and shape of the vegetable. The best choice is pinkish color elongated shape vegetables without any green spots. Such potatoes are rich in vitamins.
Wash the vegetables, remove dark spots, peel and grate them.
The resulting grated potato should be put into the gauze (use several layers of gauze).
Fresh potato juice is very rich in starch so you should give it approximately 3 minutes to settle. Do not leave it for longer time as with the long stay organic compounds of potatoes begin to oxidize and break down causing the juice color to get darker. And after 10 minutes potato juice cannot be used for medical purposes as all the beneficial qualities are gone already.

Fresh potato juice should be consumed in its pure form without any additives or other vegetables. This method is natural and safe for the health which makes it suitable even for pregnant women who are struggling from acid reflux on the later stages of the pregnancy.

Potato juice treatment:

We should consume 1 full cup of fresh potato juice in the morning before any breakfast.
After drinking the juice lie down for approximately half an hour (up to 1 hour).
After laying you can have a breakfast.
The course of treatment is 10 days, followed by 10 days break.
Full course of healing program will consists of 3 whole 10 days treatments.

You will notice significant improvement within few days of consumption but do not stop the course and continue for the whole recommended period. The best timing for this treatment is any time suitable from July to February. Potatoes are fresh and healthy at this time of year.

The second product: Baking soda:

This simple and cheap product is so usual that we use it everywhere starting from cooking and cleaning to brushing teeth and even scrubbing our face. In addition to all above listed options we can also use baking soda to get rid of acid reflux and neutralize heartburn symptoms: burning sensation and heat in chest after eating.

Baking soda recipe:

We will need just ¼ of teaspoon of baking soda. Dissolve the baking soda in the warm water (200 ml).
Drink the mixture in small sips.
The optimal way is to consume the liquid while it is still warm. In such a way it helps better.
Do not drink it till the end. The remaining soda on the bottom of the cup should not be consumed.

If it is necessary you can repeat the procedure but remember that it is allowed to consume maximum 200 ml of the soda solution per day.

The recipe can be also prepared with vinegar and baking soda. The proportions for such recipe will be 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1 tablespoon of natural apple cider vinegar per 1 glass of water. As soon as the mixture begins to bubble it is necessary to drink few small sips.

Baking soda only effects symptoms of acid reflux removing discomfort but does not treat the reason of the heartburn. As soon as baking soda enters the body immediately after few sips you will feel noticeable results. But unfortunately after the short time signs of sickness return with even more unpleasant intensity. Experiment with baking soda but if you do not achieve significant result within few days try other products.
