Herbs and Acupressure for Acid Reflux.
In Chinese medicine, acid reflux, or gastroesophageal
reflux disease (GERD) involves a pattern of Liver
instabilities, Internal Heat, and possible Damp Phlegm
conditions. Acid reflux is easily treated with acupressure
and Chinese herbs over a 6-8 week period of time.
It is worth noting that pharmaceutical ant-acids suppress
the natural digestive process and cause Stomach Qi
Stagnation with habitual use. If food is not properly
rotting and ripening in the stomach, many health
disorders can develop over time that can range in
severity from digestive disorders to stomach cancer.
The Liver is responsible for the smooth flow of Qi (loosely
vital energy) in the body; when the Liver is not functioning
at its optimal capacity, Stomach Qi inversion may occur.
Additionally, when the energy of the Liver becomes
constricted, Liver Qi Stagnation develops. The stagnant energy tends to heat up, much like the waters of a stagnant pond, and the resulting heat rises, forcing Qi upward. Look to our Free and Easy Wanderer formula to address underlying issues and our Stomach Pills for the Damp Phlegm..
Poor eating habits with the consumption of cold foods, fried foods, whites (sugar/starch), juices, and too many raw foods can damage the Spleen function in Chinese Medicine and cause Dampness and Phlegm creating further obstructions for the digestive process and a propensity for the Stomach to develop inverted Qi patterns.
