Country music artist LeAnn Rimes recently shared her personal home remedies for thrush and acid reflux as she navigates the public scrutiny following her viral jaw release video.
On May 9, Rimes posted on Instagram Stories that she is currently dealing with health challenges after a course of antibiotics.
LeAnn Rimes opened up about her recent health struggles while sharing the home remedies she uses to treat thrush and acid reflux.
“No, after being on antibiotics, I’m trying to heal thrush in my throat and acid reflux… dear lord help me,” she wrote, accompanied by a photo featuring her clear drink.
The singer detailed her remedy, which includes coconut water, aloe vera juice, and fresh rosemary from her garden. Rimes’ approach reflects her commitment to alternative medicine, which has come under fire due to the intense reactions to her jaw release video.
The singer explained that her health issues began after taking antibiotics and revealed that she has been drinking coconut water, aloe vera juice, and rosemary to help heal naturally.
In a clip shared on March 29, Rimes underwent a deep jaw release treatment with Garry Lineham, co-founder of Human Garage.
“Healing isn’t always quiet,” she captioned the video, where she expressed pain during the treatment, ultimately breaking into tears.
Critics have suggested that her emotional response appears staged, prompting Rimes to respond during an April 18 livestream.
