Here at The GERD Chef, we’ve been working for months to create a heartburn ginger tea recipe that can help bring that quick relief. We’re so happy to finally get to share our aptly named Flare Up Soothing Tea!
If you suffer from acid reflux, finding foods that are both delicious and gentle on the digestive system can be a challenge. Unfortunately, it’s hard to predict which foods might send you into a reflux flare up. When that happens you want relief, and you want it quickly. That’s where our heartburn ginger tea comes in.
What Is Heartburn Ginger Tea?
(or as we like to call it Flare Up Soothing Tea!)
Heartburn Ginger Tea combines ingredients known for their natural heartburn-reducing properties, including ginger, coconut milk, and honey. Best of all? IT WORKS!!!
We’ve been using it and recommending it to friends and family, and the feedback is incredible.
This heartburn ginger tea is easy to make and can help relieve acid reflux symptoms almost immediately while also providing important nutrients and antioxidants to support digestive health.
Healing Ingredients In Heartburn Ginger Tea
Marshmallow Root
Marshmallow root has been used for centuries to treat digestive problems, including acid reflux and heartburn. This herb contains mucilage, a substance that coats and soothes the lining of the esophagus and stomach, protecting it from the harmful effects of acid.
In addition to its soothing properties, marshmallow root can also help reduce inflammation in the digestive tract, which can further relieve acid reflux and heartburn symptoms.
Slippery Elm
Slippery elm is another herb that can help soothe and protect the digestive tract. Like marshmallow root, slippery elm contains mucilage, which coats the esophagus and stomach, reducing irritation and inflammation.
In addition to its soothing properties, slippery elm also contains antioxidants, which can help protect the digestive tract from further damage caused by acid reflux.
Calcium Carbonate
Calcium carbonateis a naturally occurring antacid that can help neutralize stomach acid and relieve reflux symptoms. This compound works by reacting with stomach acid, forming calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water.
Calcium carbonate is found in a few different natural sources. We’ve used a version that comes from food grade limestone. It is important to note that excessive intake of calcium can cause constipation and other digestive problems.
Pwedered Coconut Milk
Coconut milk is a rich source of healthy fats and can be an effective natural remedy for heartburn and acid reflux. This milk contains lauric acid, which can help soothe the digestive tract and reduce inflammation.
In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, coconut milk also contains vitamins and minerals that can help support digestive health.
Granulated Honey
Did you know honey can help relieve heartburn symptoms? This sweet nectar contains enzymes that can help break down food in the digestive tract, reducing the amount of acid produced by the stomach.
Honey also has antibacterial properties, which can help protect the digestive tract from harmful bacteria.
In addition to its anti-inflammatory properties, ginger also contains antioxidants that can help protect the digestive tract from further damage caused by acid reflux.

This sounds great and I’d really like to try it, but finding the ingredients is definitely a challenge, especially in Canada.
Really? Why is that, Andy?
Would love to try this recipe! Are the measurements the same if you use liquid honey and coconut milk?
Yep! It mixes up really smooth with the liquid coconut milk.
