How can squid help your heartburn, GERD or reflux?

Move over TUMS! There's a new game in town.

Chinese herbs and their formulas are sophisticated and synergistic tools used by the Chinese medicine practitioner. They are extremely effective in treating acid reflux, heartburn or GERD. Readers will be surprised by the power and energy they take, especially when combined with other herbs. Please remember that individual herbs are rarely prescribed alone. They are combined with other herbs.

The “Chinese Herbal Medicine Materia Medica,” which is studied in schools today, lists 474 herbs, including their variations. They come from plants, animals, insects and minerals. Herbs have the ability to enter specific channels or meridians that make up the human body. They can either warm, cool, ascend, descend, disperse, regulate, clarify, tonify or calm. They are also associated with a taste such as bitter or sweet and a temperature such as hot, cold or neutral.

One of the Chinese herbs commonly used to treat heartburn or GERD is called Hai Piao Xiao, or squid bone. The pharmaceutical name is Os Sepiae seu Sepiellae. The octopus looks very similar to an octopus, but is not actually a fish. An octopus is actually a mollusk from the class of cephalopods, which are found in all oceans and include octopuses, cuttlefish, cuttlefish, and nautiluses. Squids are highly intelligent creatures and experts in the art of disguise, adapting their color and patterns to suit their surroundings.

In Chinese Materia Medica, this herb is salty, astringent, and slightly warm. Of course it is salty because it comes from the sea. It has the ability to enter the kidney, liver and stomach canals. This herb has many functions, but in this case it controls the acidity of the stomach, regurgitation of acid, belching with bad taste and relieves pain. This is possible because the squid's bones are made of calcium carbonate, the active ingredient contained in TUMS. The difference is that you don't get all the bad stuff that comes with TUMS like sucrose and aluminum. You won't use it long-term either. The idea behind Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture is the root of the problem.

Some other interesting features of this herb are:

• Stoppt Blutungen und Ausfluss aus der Scheide.
• Kann topisch angewendet werden, um Blutungen aufgrund traumatischer Verletzungen oder bei chronischen, nicht heilenden Hautgeschwüren zu stoppen.
• Behält die Essenz bei, indem nächtliche Emissionen, vorzeitige Ejakulationen und vaginaler Ausfluss behoben werden (dies ist normalerweise auf einen Nierenmangel zurückzuführen).
• Kann chronischen Durchfall oder Dysentary stoppen.

Hai Piao Xiao, when combined with the right herbs, has also been shown to resolve stomach and duodenal ulcers as well as bleeding ulcers.

This is just one of the four herbs you'll find in Royal Reflux Remedy, a natural herbal treatment derived from the classic Chinese herbal pharmacy of formulas that has been used for hundreds of years. Combined with some diet and lifestyle changes, you can resolve your reflux, heartburn, or GERD without medication.
