Hi-Tech Reflux-Rx - Natural Heartburn Relief. Herbal remedies have long been used as alternatives to prescription drugs. The most common treatments from the herbalist's viewpoint involve the use of chamomile flowers, lemon balm leaves, licorice root, fennel seeds, slippery elm bark, linden flowers and marshmallow. Some of these plants contain "carminative" principles that are said to calm down the the stomach, while others may inhibit the the secretion of stomach acid or neutralize it. Still others have a "demulcent" action, a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal membranes, either by a direct coating action or indirect enhancement of mucus secretion. These remedies are recommended as single ingredient or combination teas, extracts or powders formulated into tablets or capsules.
Only recently has a product been effectively formulated to address these issues. Reflux-Rx by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals has been shown to be tremendously effective in giving relief to people who suffer from these symptoms. The natural approaches to relieving the discomfort of heartburn deserve consideration.
The fact that millions of Americans visit their doctor or drugstore seeking relief from heartburn means its big business for drug companies, who yearly sell billions of dollars worth of products to cool the burn. While acid-neutralizing drugs like Tums®, Rolaids® and Maalox® were for many years the mainstay of treating the symptoms of GERD, the H2-blockers and proton pump inhibitors have captured the attention of the medical profession and eager consumers. Slick print and television ads have helped make the purple pill a household phrase. All of this advertising is expensive and that's one reason why, without a good insurance plan, Nexium® is pricy - as much as $3 to $4 per day. Its predecessor, Prilosec® is now available over-the-counter (OTC) without a doctor's prescription. Many insurance providers refuse to pay for the prescription proton pump inhibitors without special arrangements with the physician, leaving the total cost to the patient. Although Prilosec® is less expensive than Nexium® per pill, heartburn sufferers often need two Prilosec® tablets for adequate relief of symptoms, bringing the cost to about $2 per day.
Reflux-Rx by Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals, Inc. incorporates three Belizean herbs: (1) Eryngium Foetidum (culantro), (2) Chenopidium Ambrosoides (epazote), and (3) Guazuma Ulmifolia.
