Aloe vera juice is often used in traditional wellness practices to calm irritation in the digestive system. Some research suggests it may help reduce inflammation and soothe the lining of the stomach and esophagus.
How to use:
Drink about ½ cup of food-grade aloe vera juice 15–20 minutes before meals
Choose a decolorized product free from aloe latex, which can cause digestive upset
Start with small amounts to assess tolerance
Moderation is key, as excessive use may cause unwanted side effects.
Apple Cider Vinegar (With Caution)
Although apple cider vinegar (ACV) is acidic, some people report relief when using a very diluted amount. The theory is that it may help balance stomach acidity and support digestion in individuals with low stomach acid.
How to prepare:
Mix 1–2 tablespoons of ACV into a full glass of water
Drink about 20 minutes before meals
This remedy isn’t suitable for everyone. Those with sensitive esophagi, ulcers, or erosive reflux may find it worsens symptoms. Always dilute ACV and discontinue use if discomfort increases.
