Acupuncture and herbs for heartburn and digestive disorders
Many people suffer from heartburn and heartburn from time to time. This happens when acid is flushed back into the esophagus from the stomach. If this tendency towards heartburn becomes chronic and your doctor finds signs of an erosion in the esophagus, this is an indicator of Gerd or gastroesophageal reflux disease. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine can be very useful in the treatment of Gerd and chronic cases of heartburn.
chronic digestive disorders and heartburn are often a result of poor nutrition, stress and nervous tension. Acupuncture has a very calming effect and balancing on the nervous system. Specific meridian systems that are treated are liver, stomach and spleen pancreas. Points associated with these organs and meridians are used to calm acid production and make the digestive system more efficient. Stress -reducing points are also included to address and heal the nervous system.
Frequently used acupuncture points for the treatment of heartburn and acidic digestive disorders are 12, Leber 3, Leber 14 and Perikard 6. These points can alleviate the stress and feeling of fullness that are connected to Gerd.
In terms of Chinese medicine, chronic heartburn is often a result of an overreaction of the liver to spleen and stomach that can create heat (acidification and inflammation). A frequently used formula for this disharmony is Free and Easy Wanderer Plus (Jia Wei Xiao Yao San). This means has the potential to alleviate digestive complaints and at the same time combat fear, stress and nervous tension. It is a very common means and can treat a whole series of symptoms at once if the formula is specified based on a person based on the tongue and pulse.
Another good remedy for acidic digestive disorders and heartburn is the homeopathic Nux vomica C200. Homeopathy works well in connection with acupuncture and herbs, for those who are open.
If you suffer from chronic heartburn, it is also important to take a look at your diet and lifestyle. Very rich, difficult to digest, fatty foods can worsen the condition. In Chinese medicine, we also recommend reducing the consumption of milk and milk products. While milk can temporarily relieve the symptoms of heartburn, we believe that dairy products in the long run clog the digestive system and cause more problems than they solve. Drinking coffee or excessive alcohol can also worsen Gerd. Sharp food can also be a problem for people who are prone to strong heartburn.
Usually people with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine see a significant and satisfactory improvement of their tendency to heartburn and acidic digestive disorders within four to six weekly meetings.
