"This tea cured my heartburn!"

Since childhood, Kat Sivley suffered with severe acid reflux. It kept her awake at night and made her life miserable…until she started drinking a glass of this homemade elixir at bedtime

Kat Sivley woke with a start, with what felt like lava bubbling up in her throat. Being awakened in the middle of the night with heartburn was nothing new for the Portland, Oregon, 50-year-old. She’d suffered with severe acid reflux since childhood, sometimes so extreme that the acid came all the way up into her nose. This is no way to live, she despaired.

But as she took some over-the-counter medication, Kat knew if it worked, it would only result in shortlived relief. She had tried drinking milk, which would also work for a short time, but she discovered that dairy, in general, made the acid reflux worse overall.
