Acid reflux is a common digestive disorder characterised by symptoms
such as heartburn, acid indigestion, nausea and more. It is caused when
the acid produced by the stomach flows back up into the esophagus.
Frequent reflux can give rise to Gastro-esophageal reflux disease
(GERD). Delaying treatment of GERD can lead to serious complications
such as narrowing of the esophagus, esophageal ulcer or a condition
called Barrett's Esophagus (BE) which is a risk foresophageal cancer.
Find out how acupuncture, acupressure and TCM dietary therapy can
help in the management of acid reflux and GERD.
