HOMEOPATHY FOR ACID REFLUX AND GERD

Would You Like To Learn How To soothe Acid Reflux, Gerd And Heartburn With Homeopathy?

Acid reflux seems to have 100 different names, and 100 different medications and always pops up at the worst times.


Acid reflux is one of the most common gut complaints seen by hospital departments, which I can definitely agree with, as I see it repeatedly in my practice!

It is often caused by a weak lower oesophagal sphincter (which is like a ring of muscle) that allows the stomach contents to flow back up the oesophagus and into the gullet; the oesophagal sphincter normally acts as a one-way valve that lets food into the stomach but not backs up into the oesophagus.

This is because the stomach contains hydrochloric acid, which is used to help us break down food and protect against pathogens!

​Therefore when the acid flows back up to the oesophagus, it causes a burning sensation, whereas it does not in the stomach as the stomach has a strong lining which protects it.

But if you are looking for remedies for indigestion only, have a look at my other blog here.

This acid reflux can lead to many common symptoms such as difficulty swallowing, vomiting or burning sensations. But interestingly, it can also cause symptoms that my patients don’t even realise are related to it.

For example, did you know that it can cause dry coughs, asthma-like breathing difficulties, dental erosion, throat problems or even bad breath!

Even more, interestingly, digestion is part of the parasympathetic nervous system ( also known as the rest and digest), which works at its optimum when the body is at REST.

This is why when our bodies are under stress and the fight or flight reflex kicks in, peristalsis is stopped to allow our bodies to focus on what is most important at the time- historically, to confront or avoid danger! 

Isn’t the human body AMAZING!

This is also why you may lose your appetite or have difficulty eating if you feel anxious or stressed. Therefore in my practice, I see many people in high-stress environments or have demanding jobs experience acid reflux.

All of this sounds very unpleasant, so I bet you’re wondering… Cristina, what can I do about it?

Well, the good news is that as it is such a common problem, homeopathy has a good rate of success with it! Let’s learn to soothe reflux, heartburn and GERD with a few homeopathy!

THE BEST REMEDIES IN HOMEOPATHY TO HELP YOU TACKLE ACID REFLUX, HEARTBURN, AND ENJOY FOOD AGAIN!

​​LYCOPODIUM 30/200

This remedy has a strong affinity to the digestive tract, especially the liver, making it a fantastic remedy for digestive disturbances.

It is no wonder why the Banerjies use this remedy as a first, second or 3rd line in most of their digestive protocols.

The burning is in the stomach and the pit of the stomach and it goes up to the throat.

Heartburn gulping up acid and bitter substances that makes the throat raw.

The acidity may be accompanied by a frontal headache sometimes.

This remedy is especially useful for babies that overfeed on milk and spit up sour vomit. These babies may be diagnosed with silent reflux or reflux.

The vomit may be so sour, curdled and, and it smells like vinegar.

Again, if the person vomits, it may be sour and vinegar-like.
