Faulty diet and lifestyle changes are the root cause of the disease. In modern medicine the condition is managed by antacids, histamine receptor antagonists, proton pump inhibitors etc. Further chronic situations are managed by surgical interventions such as anti-reflux surgery. In this blog we delve into the principles of ayurveda and how its offers effective strategies for managing GERD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GERD manifests as heart burn, regurgitation, epigastric pain, dyspepsia, nausea, bloating, chest pain, laryngitis, dental erosions, etc.\u00a0 In chronic stages erosions, ulcerations, stricture and columnar metaplastic changes can occur in oesophagus. The common reason behind GERD is the reduced lower oesophageal sphincter tone, which allows the reflux of the gastric content into the oesophagus. The synchronisation of defective oesophageal peristalsis activity and delayed gastric emptying can also cause reflux due to frequent episodes of inappropriate sphincter relaxation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Understanding GERD in Ayurveda<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In ayurveda this condition can be correlated to amlapitta more specifically urdwada amlapitta.
