Top 6 Essential Oils to support Heartburn
I have family members who thought they were honestly having a heart attack...only to find out it was acid reflux (a.k.a. heartburn). It can be that painful. But if you've experienced it, you already know that.
Many of the prescriptions have major side effects when used long term. But the cost of not using those prescriptions is a burnt esophagus, which can lead to throat cancer.
Before resorting to long-term prescriptions, give the following natural options a try. If you absolutely must be on a prescription, try using this alongside (talk to your doctor to make sure they're okay with it).
Top 6 Oils for Heartburn:
DigestZen blend
Drink a few drops in water or in a capsule.
You can also rub 2 drops on the outside of the stomach for anything digestion related (gas, nausea, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, belly pain or cramping, etc). Actually, my preferred method is 1-2 drops directly in my mouth followed by a glass of water.
You can also purchase this already in capsules.
Whenever our family takes this internally, we also take advantage of rubbing it on the belly or chest (wherever the problem is).
Tamer blend
This blend is great for kids & adults alike. It smells so good that kids always love it. It comes in a roller bottle. Roll across the chest for heartburn. Can also be used for nausea or belly pain.
Peppermint
Add 1 drop Peppermint to 1 teaspoon honey. Dissolve in 1 cup warm water, & drink slowly.
Terrazyme (digestive enzymes)
Take 1-3 capsules with each meal to experience easier digestive function. The amount you take is dependant on how hard the food you are eating is to digest. When eating fast food (fatty or greasy food) you would want to take three. Digestive enzymes break down your food so it can be absorbed & so you don't have belly pain when you eat.
Lemon + Peppermint + Sandalwood
Blend 2 drops Lemon, 2 drops Peppermint, & 3 drops Sandalwood in 1 Tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil. Apply to breastbone in a circular motion using the palm of the hand.
Lemon
Get in the habit of adding 1 to 2 drops of Lemon essential oil to your water bottle every time you fill it up … or to your glass of water. This can help prevent heartburn.
Make sure to always use glass or metal containers for this. Citrus oils can break down plastic containers, & you don't want to be drinking the toxins in plastic. ;)
