Acid reflux is a condition in which stomach acid or food flows back up from the stomach into the oesophagus. When this happens repeatedly and causes troublesome symptoms, it is called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Common symptoms

Heartburn or a burning sensation in the centre of the chest
A sour or bitter taste in the mouth
Food or acid rising up towards the throat or mouth
Discomfort in the chest or upper abdomen after eating
Symptoms that worsen when lying down or at night

Possible causes

Weakness or abnormal relaxation of the lower oesophageal sphincter (the valve at the lower end of the food pipe)
Excess weight or obesity
Eating excessively large meals
Lying down immediately after eating
Eating fatty foods or foods that worsen symptoms
Excessive consumption of tea, coffee, or soft drinks

Benefits of homeopathic treatment

In homeopathic treatment, an individualized approach is determined by considering the patient's symptoms, physical condition, lifestyle, and personal history. With GERD or acid reflux, it is important to follow the treatment advised by the physician and not to stop any ongoing medication on one's own.

Our treatment method

1

Taking a complete patient history

A detailed history is taken: how long the heartburn, sour belching, regurgitation of food, or other symptoms have lasted, when they worsen, and how they relate to diet and lifestyle.

2

Analysis of symptoms and likely causes

The situation is evaluated by considering the patient's eating habits, weight, sleep pattern, history of medicine use, and other symptoms.

3

An individualized treatment plan

Suitable treatment along with dietary and daily management advice is given based on the patient's symptoms and physical condition.

4

Regular follow-up

During treatment, changes in heartburn, reflux, and other symptoms are monitored and the treatment plan is adjusted as needed.

Things to do in daily life

Eat moderate portions instead of very large meals
Avoid lying down for at least 2–3 hours after eating
Avoid the foods or drinks that increase your reflux
Cut down on very fatty or heavy meals
Avoid excessive tea, coffee, and soft drinks if they worsen symptoms

When to seek medical advice urgently

If heartburn or acid reflux keeps recurring, persists for a long time, or starts affecting daily life and sleep, a physician should be consulted.
If there is severe or pressure-like chest pain, breathlessness, heavy sweating, dizziness, or pain spreading to the arm, shoulder, back, or jaw, do not assume it is just acidity — seek emergency medical care immediately.
