    ​Licorice root can relieve the symptoms of heartburn and acid reflux associated with GERD, if you combine it with other herbs. Many health care professionals may recommend herbs such as DGL-licorice (glycyrrhiza glabra) for their soothing properties. DGL may enhance the body’s own natural defence mechanisms, which could prevent or reduce problems related to acid such as heartburn. DGL-licorice (glycyrrhiza glabra) standardized extract, 250-500 mg 3 times daily, chewed either 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals. Taper your dose down after your symptoms are under control. Sometimes people think that just because something is natural that is harmless. This is great example of herbal remedy that is unsafe if used excessively or in conjunction with other medications. Always talk to your doctor before trying any new, even an herbal remedy.
