Are there natural remedies for GERD?

Several natural remedies can help alleviate GERD symptoms. Lifestyle modifications such as dietary changes, avoiding trigger foods, maintaining a healthy weight, and practicing mindful eating can contribute to symptom relief. Consuming ginger, chamomile tea, or licorice root may offer soothing effects on the digestive system.


Elevating the head of the bed during sleep can minimize nighttime reflux. However, it's essential to note that individual responses to these remedies vary, and consulting with a healthcare professional is advisable for personalized guidance. While these approaches may complement medical treatment, they should not replace professional advice.
