Do You Suffer from Frequent Heartburn? Gas? Ulcers? Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Diarrhea or Constipation?

Do you feel that anything you eat makes you sick? It’s not just You.

Digestive problems are practically an epidemic in our time. The number of medications for “GI” problems has increased dramatically over the past decades, and 1 in 4 people have gastrointestinal problems severe enough to interfere with their lives. Acid Reflux/ GERD are one of the common Gastrointestinal problems we suffer from, and Ayurveda has amazing natural and safe treatment for GERD/ Acid Reflux.

Ayurveda blames our contemporary lifestyles for the rise in digestive issues, pointing to prolonged hours of sitting, stress, and an excess of processed and sugary foods as the biggest culprits.

Unfortunately, the effects of an unhealthy diet and insufficient exercise go far beyond digestive problems. An unhealthy lifestyle’s long-term effects can include an elevated risk of chronic illnesses like obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even certain types of cancer.

What is GERD or Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux, also known as GERD or gastro-esophagal reflux disease, is primarily brought on when the valve separating the stomach and esophagus weakens and remains open for an extended time, allowing stomach acid to flow back into the esophagus. This phenomenon may cause the stomach’s liquid to pump back up, harming the mucosa.

A person with GERD/ Acid Reflux may experience severe discomfort and disruptions to their daily activities.

Signs and Symptoms of GERD or Acid Reflux

The main signs and symptoms of GERD/Acid Reflux are as follows:

• Regurgitation of gastric acid or stomach contents into throat or mouth
• Heartburn
• Bloating
• Burping
• Nausea
• Chest pain
• Food swallowing discomfort or Dysphagia
• Migraine
• Dry cough, wheezing, hoarness, or chronic sore throat

 

In general, GERD can be described as a lifestyle disease. The problem of acid reflux may arise if your diet contains more junk food, processed meat, and frozen foods.

These processed and junk foods with added preservatives can cause the body to produce toxins (ama), which leads to the GERD problem. Your inconsistent eating schedule and eating habits may make matters worse.

In Ayurveda GERD can be correlated with urdhvag amlapitta, the acid or gastric juices move upwards from the stomach into the lower part of esophagus.

Wrong diet & stressful lifestyle causes increase in the pitta or the acidic condition in the body especially in the epigastric region. As the causative factors continue to persist the digestion is hampered. It creates Aam.

The high pitta causes inflammation in the affected area such as the esophagus and the underlying areas. It leads to increase in symptom of heart burn, heaviness in body and excessive gastric juices in the stomach that expels the food out of the mouth and leaves a sour and bitter taste in the mouth. This is called GERD/ Acid Reflux.

For this reason, it is advised to eat foods that are in harmony with your prana and to stay away from certain foods which hamper with your digestive system. Get your personalized diet and lifestyle changes guide by booking an appointment with Ayushakti. Click here!

What is the main cause of Acid Reflux/ GERD?

A hiatal hernia in the stomach is one of the most common causes of GERD or acid reflux disease. This happens when the upper part of the stomach and the LES move above the diaphragm, a muscle that separates your abdomen and chest.

The diaphragm helps keep stomach acid in check usually. However, if you have a hiatal hernia, acid can get into your esophagus and cause acid reflux symptoms.

Other common risk factors for GERD or acid reflux disease include the following:

• Eating a lot of food or lying down right after eating
• Being overweight or obese
• Eating close to bedtime
• Snacking certain foods like citrus, tomato, chocolate, mint, garlic, onions, or spicy or fatty foods
• Drinking certain beverages like alcohol, carbonated drinks, coffee, or tea
• Smoking
• Being pregnant
• Taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain type of medications for blood pressure.

They circulate throughout the entire body and block the system. Continuous build-up of these impurities can cause physical and mental disorders and diseases. A Detox helps to clean out toxins. Marma points help to remove blockages and improve circulation.
