Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
I don't get reflux that often, maybe 1 to 3 times a year, and when I do it is only when lying down at night.
I did see my doctor about it though, just to make sure it was nothing serious. She suggested Prilosec, and I politely declined. I did not feel that I was having bad enough reflux to take a medication daily for it.
Then a friend introduced me to therapeutic-grade essential oils. One of the first things I ordered was Alkalime, which is a supplement infused with Lemon and Lime oils.
Now if I get reflux I make up a quick glass as per the instructions on the bottle, and in less than 2 minutes, I am completely fine.

It is a major constituent in several citrus oils.... Being a solvent of cholesterol, d-limonene has been used clinically to dissolve cholesterol-containing gallstones. Because of its gastric acid neutralizing effect and its support of normal peristalsis, it has also been used for relief of heartburn and gastroesophageal reflux (GERD). D-limonene has well-established chemopreventive activity against many types of cancer. Evidence from a phase I clinical trial demonstrated a partial response in a patient with breast cancer and stable disease for more than six months in three patients with colorectal cancer." | Link |
