🎄 Rich Christmas meals don’t have to mean heartburn.
This gentle Carrot–Aloe Herbal Reflux Reliever is a traditional, food-based remedy shared by herbalist Nicole Apelian — designed to soothe, coat, and calm the digestive tract without shutting down stomach acid.
🌿 Carrot • Aloe • Ginger • Turmeric • Cinnamon
Sip before or after heavy meals and let your digestion do what it was always meant to do.
Sometimes the old ways really were wiser.
****************************************************
Herbal Acid Reflux Reliever (Carrot–Aloe Version)
Ingredients
* Fresh carrot juice – ½ cup / 60ml
* Aloe vera juice (inner fillet only, food-grade) – ¼ cup / 30ml
* Fresh ginger (grated or juiced) – ½–1 tsp
* Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
* Cinnamon powder – a pinch (⅛ tsp max)
How to Prepare
* Juice fresh carrots (or use high-quality organic carrot juice)
* Add aloe vera juice
* Stir in ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon
* Mix well — gently warm if preferred, do not boil
How to Take
* Drink once daily, ideally:
* First thing in the morning, or
* 20–30 minutes before your main meal
* Can be taken daily for 7–14 days, then reassess
🌱 Why This Works
- Carrot juice buffers stomach acid and supports mucosal repair
- Aloe vera cools inflammation and heals irritated oesophageal tissue
- Ginger improves gastric emptying (key for reflux)
- Turmeric reduces inflammatory signalling in the gut lining
- Cinnamon prevents fermentation and gas pressure (use lightly — it’s warming)
👉 This addresses reflux mechanics, not just symptoms.
⚠️ Important Safety Notes (because I won’t lie to you)
Aloe must be inner fillet only — no whole-leaf laxative aloe
Avoid if:
👉Pregnant
👉Active gallbladder disease (turmeric)
👉Cinnamon is supportive, not decorative — too much can worsen reflux
👉If reflux worsens: reduce ginger, not aloe
Traditional Herbalist Tweaks
🌱For burning reflux → reduce ginger, add more carrot
🌱For heavy, sluggish digestion → increase ginger slightly
🌱For stress-related reflux → sip slowly, seated, breathing deeply (yes, it matters)
