Cure Acid Reflux with Ayurveda and Homeopathy
Acid Reflux or Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) occurs when the valve-like muscles between the esophagus and the stomach go weak. Instead of performing their function of allowing or blocking the entry of food from the esophagus to the stomach, they remain open. In this process, they allow the acids from the stomach to flow back up into the esophagus, which results in heartburn.
A few of the symptoms:

Homeopathy is the gentlest form of medicine known to mankind. It works on the philosophy of respecting the body’s wisdom “to protect and heal itself”, which is facilitated by tiny amounts of natural products in a highly potent form. An infinitesimal dose of this medicine heals and balances the system by working with the body’s vital force, from within.
