GERD, or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease, is a chronic digestive condition where acid from the stomach flows back into the oesophagus, causing irritation and discomfort. This reflux leads to a burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), often after meals or while lying down. GERD occurs when the lower oesophageal sphincter (LES) — a valve-like muscle at the stomach’s entry — becomes weak or relaxed, allowing acid to escape upward. Homeopathy offers gentle, long-term relief by reducing acid formation, healing the oesophageal lining, and correcting digestive function naturally.
Causes
GERD develops due to a combination of physical and lifestyle factors, including:
- Weak or relaxed LES muscle
- Overeating, especially heavy or fatty meals
- Obesity and increased abdominal pressure
- Lying down soon after eating
- Excessive tea, coffee, alcohol, spicy or fried food
- Smoking
- Stress or anxiety
- Hiatal hernia (stomach part slipping into the chest
- Certain medications that relax stomach muscles
