STEP 9 - MILD HEARTBURN

broken image

MILD HEARTBURN is a feeling of burning discomfort in the chest and is caused by the regurgitation of gastric acid from the stomach into the esophagus. It usually happens after eating certain foods or meals and can feel worse when lying down or bending over.

If the ring of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus (that opens and closes to let food in when we eat), is weak, or if certain foods that trigger mild heartburn are eaten very regularly, mild heartburn can occur regularly.

Foods that can trigger mild heartburn include:

• Coffee

• Cold drinks

• Fatty or spicy foods

• Large meals

• Chocolate

• Alcohol

• Citrus foods

Certain activities can also trigger episodes of mild heartburn:

• Exercising too soon after eating.

• Being pregnant.

• Being overweight or obese.

• Eating a large meal.

• Taking certain medications.

As with so many other digestive troubles, Essential Oils are a great way to help with episodes of mild heartburn. The best oils and related options for this include:

• Peppermint

• Spearmint

• Lemon

• Ginger

• Blue Tansy

• Eucalyptus

• Wild Orange

• Digestive Blend Chewable Tablets

Mild heartburn often catches people on the go, so the DIGESTIVE BLEND CHEWABLE TABLETS are a convenient and easy way to obtain the benefits of these Essential Oils wherever you are. These are calcium carbonate tablets infused with DIGESTIVE BLEND to deliver the benefits of digestion-supporting Essential Oils (including Ginger, Peppermint, Caraway, Coriander, and Anise) as well as the acid-neutralizing benefits of calcium carbonate.*

Calcium carbonate is a natural mineral that helps maintain stomach acid balance by neutralizing excess acid in the stomach, which helps to relieve the discomfort caused by occasional acidity such as heartburn, indigestion, and flatulence.*

This specially designed calcium carbonate is less chalky and smaller than similar products making it much easier to chew and swallow.

Any adult can take the DIGESTIVE BLEND CHEWABLE TABLETS, even those individuals with sensitive stomachs.

PRACTICAL USES

• Chew one tablet as needed up to six times daily.

• Use with or between meals as needed, for relief from occasional stomach upset, indigestion, and heartburn.*

• Helps relieve occasional sour stomach.*

• Provides relief from the uncomfortable burning of occasional acid indigestion and helps reduce unwanted belching and bloating.*

CAUTIONS

Keep out of reach of children. Do not use with other acid reducers. Ask a doctor or pharmacist before use if you are taking a prescription drug.

HALT THE HEARTBURN PREVENTION SOLUTION

Drink one to two drops Peppermint Essential Oil in a large glass of water, especially before a large or fatty, spicy meal, to aid in digestion and prevent mild heartburn.
