Homeopathic treatment of Acidity
If it is very common(more than twice a week) for you to suffer from the symptoms of hyperacidity.(heartburn or feeling of pain and/or burning in the chest or throat) it is possible that it cold be more than just the so called acidity. You could be suffering from GERD (Gastro esophageal reflux disease).
What is GERD?
Under normal circumstances the stomach tries to digest the food by breaking it down into simple substances by using hydrochloric acid and other enzymes, this food is passed on to the intestines for further digestion but in patients with GERD the acidic contents of the stomach regularly reflux back into the esophagus( the food pipe), causing inflammation and damage. GERD can be a chronic and if left untreated, it can lead to a more serious condition known as erosive esophagitis. Complications of erosive esophagitis may include narrowing or ulceration of the esophagus
How to recognize GERD
When the contents from the stomach touch the lining of the esophagus, they cause a burning sensation in the chest or throat called heartburn. At times the gastric fluid may even reach the mouth. In some cases there may be a difficulty in swallowing ,hoarseness of voice, cough and asthma as their presenting Symptoms ..
What causes gerd?
As the chewed food reaches, the lower end of the esophagus which comprises of a circular band of muscle around the bottom part of your esophagus ? it relaxes and allows the food and liquid to flow down into the stomach. Gastro esophageal reflux disease, or GERD, occurs when this end of oesophagus does not close properly and stomach contents leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus. The condition may be due to an abnormal mechanical working of the oesophagus (where it enters the stomach) as under normal circumstances it squeezes itself together to act as a shut-off valve to keep stomach contents out. Sometimes, GERD is due to too much acid being produced by the stomach. It can occur in some people when the stomach does not empty quickly enough and becomes overfilled with digestion contents.
Few factors that cause the lower end to relax more frequently are Fatty foods, Chocolate, caffeine, onions, spicy foods, mint and some medications, Alcohol, Large meals, lying down soon after eating. Other factors that may contribute to GERD include alcohol use overweight, pregnancy and smoking.
How can homoeopathy help?
Although GERD can limit daily activities and productivity, it is rarely life-threatening. With an understanding of the causes and proper homoeopathic treatment most people will find relief. Natrum phos a homoeopathic medicine is very beneficial when there is excess of acid being manufactured and the gerd can be attributed to it. Nux Vomica is very affective in people where improper eating habits are responsible for the reflux disorder. Nux is also indicated in GERD by alcohol. Robinia is indicated in reflux disorder in children and Iris is very effective when symptoms of reflux are accompanied by headache.
Acidity is the one of the far most cause for the gerd if u refer to kent repertory most of the symptoms related to acidity will have the medicine Acid nitricum I have come acros many patients who had symptoms due to acidity has been bettere by Acid nitricum 30 and Natru phos 30 alternatly given best of its results.

I AM 34 YEARS OLD. I AM SUFFERING FROM ACID REGLUX SINCE ABOUT 3 YEARS. 3 YEARS AGO, I HAD UNDERGONE HEAVY PROBLEM RESULTING INTO ERUPTION OF THE GASTRIC WALL. I WAS RECOMMENDED ALLOPATHICALLY FOR PANTOPRAZOLE+DOMEPERIDONE CAPSULES FOR 3 MONTHS WHICH RELEIVED ME FROM THE CASE BUT THE ACID REFLUX AND RELATED TROUBLES LIKE HEARTBURN, HEAVINESS IN STOMACH AND PAIN IN CHEST, HANDS AND DISCOMFORT CONTINUED. I HAD UNDERGONE ECG TOO THRICE BUT WAS NORMAL. I HAVE TO TAKE A PILL OF OMEPRAZOLE ONCE IN THREE DAYS. BUT ACCORDING TO DOCTOR’S ADVICE, I AM TAKING A PILL EVERYDAY SINCE A YEAR TIME. I ALSO CONSULTED AYURVEDIC AND HOMEOPATHIC PRACTITIONERS. AYURVEDIC OPTION RELEIVED ME TILL THE MEDICATION CONTINUED. BUT HOMEOPATHIC OPTION FAILED. KINDLY SUGGEST ME A PERMANENT SOLUTION, IF POSSIBLE FOR SAME. PRESENTLY, I THINK I HAVE TO CONTINUE THE EVERYDAY PILL PRACTISE FOR LIFETIME BUT THEN TOO NO PERFECTLY SATISFACTORY RESULT IS ACHIEVED. KINDLY HELP ME OUT OF THIS.

I am 26 yrs old. I am suffering from peculiar symptoms since past 8 to 9 years. Whenever I suffer from it, i do no feel like eating anything for days, teeth become yellow, get bad taste in my mouth,warm & bad breath, my tongue becomes white in clour & i feel sleepy whole day even though i would have slept well last night.It does get cured after few months but returns back shortly. I have consulted many gastroenterologists but to no use. One of the dentist suggested its acidity & it got cured by famotidine 20 mg thrice a day around 4 years back but now it does not get cured even with pantoprazole 40 mg daily for months. I do not have any infection in mouth or stomach. I have already done H.pylori tests, endoscopy, sonography but all were normal. I do not have any ulcers. My blood reports are normal. Also I do not feel any pain in my stomach or heartburn. I sometimes feel a burning sensation in my stomach.My weight has been around 45 kgs since several years as because of this i cannot eat normally for several days. Is it really acidity that i am suffering from??
Whenever I get cured after few months i can eat lot & am very normal. I am frustrated as I cannot work properly. Can you please let me know the reason for my suffering & a permanent cure for it. Also can you please specify if I am actually suffering from Acidity or something else.
Thanks a lot a lot

My Wife has been diagnosed with nodules on her vocal cord (Leukoplakia?). ENT specialist says it happened due to the acid reflux she is having? We are totally confused as she does not have any symptoms of Acid reflux. However her throat seems red (Observed by the doctor). She herself does not have any symptoms. However she is highly irritable and has little patience. Any suggestions on medicine for acid reflux and also the nodules on the vocal chords. Doctor has suggested surgery?
