aloe vera has been used for centuries as a folk medicine for many purposes. mainly it was used topically on the skin. there has been some evidence that it can help in some types of skin inflammation such as psoriasis and seborrhea. there is also scientific evidence for its laxative properties but there are questions about its safety. i have not been able to locate any good scientific evidence that it is useful for acid reflux. here is more information about heartburn and its treatments. i hope you get relief with what has been prescribed. be sure to let your doctor know if you are not getting better. and always talk to your doctor before taking any supplements.
