Does anyone know of any home remedies for an esophagal type inflammation?

What in the world does glue taste like?

Have you tried a hot toddy?

I wouldn’t recommend alcohol at all… There are some mucous encouraging things… like slippery elm..

How Esophagitis is Treated

Treatment of esophagitis depends on the cause. Treatment may include:
Medications to reduce acid if gastroesophageal reflux disease is the cause, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers
Antibiotics if an infection is the cause
Steroid medication for inflammation
Pain medication
While undergoing treatment, your doctor will also talk to you about other steps you can take to ease the discomfort of esophagitis.

What you should avoid:
Spicy foods
Acidic foods and beverages, such as citrus juices and juices, and tomato-based products.
Hard foods that can cause pain in the esophagus when swallowed, such as nuts and raw vegetables
Alcohol
Tobacco

What you can do:
Eat 5 or 6 smaller meals during the day instead of 3 larger ones
Eat soft foods, such as puddings, applesauce, soups, custards
Take small bites of food and chew thoroughly before trying to swallow
Drink beverages through a straw
Elevate the head of the bed 8 to 10 inches or sleep on a wedge pillow to help keep stomach contents out of the esophagus during sleep

something about slippery elm:
Slippery Elm is a valuable tree that has many traditional uses. The inner bark can be ground into a nutrient-rich gruel, off which one can solely survive for a short period.[citation needed] The bark also contains a mucilage that is used as a remedy for sore throats.[citation needed] Sometimes it is dried and ground into a powder beforehand, then made into a tea. Both Slippery Elm gruel and tea are said to soothe the digestive tract[4], especially the GI tracts of those with irritable bowel syndrome or gastritis.[citation needed] There are no known contraindications for Slippery Elm.[citation needed] According to Herbs and Natural Supplements: An Evidence-Based Guide, “Although Slippery Elm has not been scientifically investigated, the FDA has approved it as a safe demulcent substance.” [5]
The bark has also been used historically as an abortifacient, first moistened with water and then inserted into the cervix. This practice became thoroughly regulated by “elm stick laws” in several US states, which forbade selling pieces of slippery elm bark longer than a certain length. Selling whole Slippery Elm bark is banned in several countries including the UK because of its ability to induce an abortion.[citation needed]

Drink lots of fluids! If you can try doing the “lions breath” it is a yogi breathing technique that can assist in clearing your lungs and keeping it clear. It is important to do this in earnest in order for it to work. It is weird to do at first but it really does work if done correctly.

Lungs? It’s the oesophagus, not the bronchial tubes. confused face

@cazzie Sorry didn’t mean to confuse you but the Lions breath will assist the clearing even the esophagus and the sinuses and the lungs. The “pumping” action of the technique combined with the air flow over the sphincter muscles of the esophagus will again aid in clearing this area. Try it sometime.

ice cold water is calming for this
