Gastro-esophageal reflux disease or acid-reflux disease or GERD is a condition in which the contents of the stomach reflux backward into the esophagus (food-pipe). Since the stomach contents are acidic in nature, this damages the inner lining of the food pipe and causes symptoms of heartburn, pain, etc. Gerd if left untreated can lead to a more serious complication called Erosive esophagitis; which in turn can lead to ulceration, bleeding and narrowing of the food pipe.

Benefits of Homeopathy:

Homeopathy treatment works effectively for GERD; it gradually lowers pain by decreasing the build-up of acids. Homeopathy treatment not just focuses on controlling the symptoms but works deep inside and treats the roots and also strengthens the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) muscles. Homeopathy for acid reflux and GERD helps treat the condition and manage the symptoms effectively.
