Acid Reflux
Heartburn is the major
symptom of acid in the esophagus, characterized by burning discomfort
behind the breastbone (sternum). Findings in Gastroesophageal reflux
disease (GERD) include esophagitis (reflux esophagitis) — inflammatory
changes in the esophageal lining (mucosa) —, strictures, difficulty
swallowing (dysphagia), and chronic chest pain.
We suggest to follow these general recommendations for one
month and if you still have problems write to us and we will be able to
suggest individualized therapy for you.
Earth Therapy:
One Juice a day for seven days a week:
Drink these fresh juices, one a day and repeat the seven every week. It
is easy. Just cut and put in blender with little water and dates if
needed,
blend and drink.
Aim of the juices are to coat the damaged mucosal lining
with these plant medicines which will heal the wounds. When you have a
cut in your finger and if you touch any spicy or sour things it hurts a
lot. Same way when we eat food when we have stomach ulcers or acid
reflux, these wounds cause so much pain. We apply a bandage on finger to
avoid pain. Similarly we need to put a band-aid on these stomach wounds.
Aloe vera is the best in coating the mucosal lining and prevent pain and
also allows those wounds to heal quickly. Sidhha medicines priases Aloe
vera for peptic or stomach ulcer.

Fermented Rice: Pazhaya
saadam - the word means "old rice". This preparation is called Pazhaya
saddam pazhankanji / kulutha choru and Paaniwala chawal in hindi.
Eat
fermented rice
and or
fermented barley for more effective results. Cook rice and soak in plain water (or
butter-milk) over-night preferably in a clay vessel, then mixed nicely
next day morning mix with a dash of buttermilk , shallots (pearl onions)
and salt. Eat (rather drink) this highly nutritious
vitamin B rich fermented
food that will quench the acidity of the body and good to cure
stomach or peptic ulcer or in acid reflux problems.
This is a simple home remedy for ulcer. The micro-organisms produced
during the fermentation balances the pH of the stomach. It also
replenishes healthy bacteria in the gut caused by the abuse of
antibiotics.
Similar preparation of
Bajra Millet
will also reduce acidity reflux and also heal the wounds of
ulcer in the stomach.
Hyper-acidity:
Make Ash of Banana stem 20gms, and eat three
times day after food and will reduce acidity.
Soaking one teaspoon of
Fenugreek seeds in water over night. Drink the water
before food and eat the raw seeds after foods. This absorbs the acid of
the stomach. You can also use the fenugreek seed powder to absorb the
acid of the stomach.
Eating garlic chutney once a day is good.
Triphala Powder - Strengthen Liver :
Everyday night take
one teaspoon of Triphala powder in 50 ml of hot water. (Please

Include more vegetables and fruits in your
diet that soothes your stomach and intestines. Avoid any kind of meat foods.
Water Therapy :
We generally recommend doing
Water Therapy
to mitigate these problems. But many
patients report that not all are benefitted initially with water
therapy, but first healing the damage and then doing water therapy
helps. Instead of drinking plain room
temperature water you can drink luke warm water (with general flavors
like mint leaves, cardamom, sarsparilla root powder, hibiscus flowers etc) for better results.
So do water therapy after you heal the ulcer.
Fire Therapy:
Walk twice in the morning and evening.
Do Pancha Bhoota walking to relax your mind which is one of the causing
for acid reflux and ulcers. The mental irritations and frustrations lead
to these problems of Acid reflux and ulcer over time. Therefore it is
good to relax the mind from those negative tendencies.
Pancha Bhoota Walking
with breath awareness is very good to relax the
mind.
Yoga is very good especially
Surya Namaskar
given in fire section. It
helps in good lymphatic circulation.
Air
therapy: Taking a long breath and relaxes every now and then
reduces stress in the body. Doing
Pranayama 5 minutes morning and evening is also good.
