How To Treat Acid Reflux Disease Naturally?

You may have experienced acid reflux at some point in life. It is a common condition that features a burning pain or heartburn, in the lower chest area. It happens when stomach acid flows back up into the food pipe.

It occurs when the sphincter muscle at the lower end of your esophagus relaxes at the wrong time, this allows stomach acid to back up into your esophagus. This can cause heartburn and other signs and symptoms. The reflux on a regular basis can lead to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

It may occur in all age groups irrespective of gender.

Causes of Acid Reflux Disease

Some of the causes of Acid Reflux disease are listed below-

• Excessive eating or Overeating
• Lying down immediately after eating
• Eating particular food on a daily basis
• Increased pressure on the abdomen in case of overweight or obese or pregnant
• Intake of certain medications- Asthma medications, calcium channel blockers, antihistamines, sedatives, and antidepressants.
• Smoking or passive smoking.

Some of the common symptoms associated with esophageal reflux disease are as follows-

• Respiratory problems
• Pain in swallowing

• Decay

Natural Treatment of Acid reflux Disease:

• Avoid overeating- Larger meals can worsen symptoms of Acid reflux.
• One should maintain at least a 2hours gap between meals and sleep.
• Weight management- The pressure in your abdomen may become so high that the lower esophageal sphincter gets pushed upward, away from the diaphragm’s support because of your belly fat. Weight loss helps a lot in relieving the symptoms of Gastro Esophageal reflux disease.
• Follow a low carb diet- There can be Bacterial overgrowth because of undigested carbs and elevated pressure inside the abdomen may be noticed.
• Limit Alcohol intake- It may increase the severity of acid reflux and heartburn. Moderate intake of alcohol may also cause reflux in healthy individuals.
• Avoid intake of Caffeine- In some studies, it is seen that coffee can temporarily weaken the lower esophageal sphincter, which increases the risk of acid reflux.
• Avoid raw onion- Eating raw onion may irritate the lining of the esophagus, causing worsened heartburn, belching, and acid reflux in some people.
• Avoid too much citrus juices, limit carbonated beverages and eat less amount of chocolates.
• Elevate the head of your Bed- It may be helpful in decreasing reflux episodes and symptoms as compared to those who slept without any elevation.
• Sleep on the left side- Avoid sleeping on the right side because as you lay on your right side, stomach acid covers the lower esophageal sphincter. It increases the risk of acid leaking through it and causing acid reflux.
