Reflux and Acidity

How Does Aloe Vera Arborescens Work for Acid Reflux and Stomach Acidity?

Aloe Vera Arborescens has shown very positive effects on acid reflux (heartburn) and stomach acidity, when used properly and with the correct preparation.

1. Protective action on the gastric and esophageal mucosa

The aloe gel is rich in mucilage, which forms a soothing layer over irritated mucous membranes.

  • This helps protect the esophagus from stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) and pepsin

  • Reduces the burning sensation commonly associated with heartburn

2. Natural regulation of stomach acid

Unlike synthetic antacids, Aloe does not neutralize acid directly.

  • Instead, it helps regulate acid secretion, avoiding excessive acid without interfering with digestion

  • Particularly helpful in cases of hyperchlorhydria (excess stomach acid)

3. Anti-inflammatory and healing properties

In cases of esophagitis or gastritis related to reflux, Aloe Vera Arborescens can:

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Promote healing of the affected mucosa

  • Relieve post-meal discomfort

4. Gentle improvement in digestive motility

May help regulate gastric emptying, reducing the risk of stomach contents refluxing into the esophagus.
