Natural remedies for heartburn in pregnancy
If you're in that stage where GERD has become your worst nightmare of pregnancy, there are some natural remedies you can use to avoid resorting to drugs.
First you have to moderate your intake of fats and refined sugars that promote the acid secretions of the stomach, favoring instead the vegetables, rice, pasta or whole grains. Of course, alcohol also to be avoided, and acidic beverages such as certain juices or coffee (although I imagine that the latter what you have left long ago, despite recent discoveries about the recently informed us that Dr. Marin.)
As you know, lying down is not the most advisable when you're making the digestion, since this position favors the rise of the acid.
You may not use the baking time so useful, as this promotes fluid retention. So what you can do is go to the lemon, whose natural acids are converted by the body by neutralizing the hydrochloric acid. This requires taking a freshly squeezed lemon juice and diluted in water first thing in the morning when you are still fasting. Do the same when the pains are activated and are repeated half an hour later, if necessary. The lemon juice and mixed with water can also be taken after meals.
There are certain that you also massage can relieve your heartburn in pregnancy. If you were not pregnant you could do with the essential oils such as one's own lemon, tangerine and lavender, but now it is better to use only sweet almond oil and massage the abdomen in slowly clockwise clock-the same movement then you will use to relieve pain and cramping tummy of your baby.
