Remedy for Acid Reflux

There are several oils that can work well as a remedy for acid reflux either alone or in a blend. 

When purchasing these oils keep in mind that not all essential oils are created equal. There are many "oils" on the market that are not truly essential oils but chemically derived oils designed to imitate their scent.

Many oils are not 100% pure without any synthetic additives. This may be the case even if the bottle says 100% essential oil on the label.

For best results and to be safe, I recommend you only use clinical grade essential oils; oils that are an exact match to the oils used in clinical trials. 

Having said that lets talk about some oils that could very well make a difference in your war on acid reflux.
