Do you experience burning sensation in your chest after consuming food and does it worsen when you lay down or at night? Then it can be due to a digestive disorder called GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease). Unfortunately most of the people now a days are facing GERD due to factors like smoking, excess alcohol consumption, Obesity, unhealthy food habits and so on. GERD is a serious condition which can lead to several complications if left untreated like esophagitis, respiratory problems, sleep apnea and others. Luckily homeopathy works greatly in controlling GERD and also its severe cases like esophagitis. GERD, as discussed is a chronic digestive disorder where stomach acids backs up into the esophagus pipe. Esophagus pipe in usual conditions carries food from your throat to your stomach and when food reaches the stomach the lower end of the food pipe called lower esophageal sphincter (LES) closes avoiding the food and stomach acidic juices from moving back to the pipe. When this sphincter does not close properly or relaxes abnormally, the food returns back to the food pipe (acid reflux) and irritates its lining which further causes symptoms like heartburn. When you experience this type of acid reflux or heart burn frequently more than twice in a week, then it is considered to be GERD.
