Batu, en.SERU.co.id – For those suffering from Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), the burning sensation in the chest (heartburn) and nausea can be a persistent and distressing issue. A herbal mixture of MOL (Mikro Organisme Lokal) Turmeric, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Honey, popularized by Griya Terapi Detox in Batu, offers a natural option worth trying.
Muwahid Hasan, A.Md.Battra, owner of Griya Terapi Detox in Batu City, shares this remedy to alleviate such complaints.
The combination of MOL Turmeric, organic apple cider vinegar, and pure honey works synergistically to calm an irritated stomach.
“In an era dominated by chemical treatments, herbal remedies are making a strong comeback. This blend, God willing, can effectively support stomach recovery,” said Hasan enthusiastically.
Hasan explains that fermented turmeric, known as MOL Kunyit, enhances the bioavailability of its active compound, curcumin, making it easier for the body to absorb.
Curcumin acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, helping to protect the esophageal lining from irritation caused by stomach acid.
While organic apple cider vinegar, despite its acidic nature, helps balance stomach pH.
For many GERD sufferers, the root issue is not excess acid but rather insufficient stomach acidity, which prevents the lower esophageal sphincter from closing properly.
“Apple cider vinegar helps ‘lock’ that valve more effectively,” noted the massage therapist and herbal practitioner.
Additionally, honey serves as a natural sweetener while its thick, viscous texture coats the esophageal mucosa, providing immediate protection against inflammation.
To prepare the mixture, follow these steps:
- Start with one glass of warm water.
- Add 1–2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and 1 tablespoon of pure honey.
- Mix in 1–2 tablespoons of MOL Turmeric liquid.
- Stir well and sip slowly.
Hasan recommends drinking this 15–30 minutes before meals.
Since individual responses vary, he advises starting with smaller doses to monitor how the stomach reacts.
“If GERD symptoms include severe pain or vomiting blood, seek immediate consultation with a professional healthcare provider,” he concluded. (dik/rhd)
