Digestive disorders

GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD)

If you have ever felt gnawing burning sensation on your chest or throat after eating a large meal? then you probably know the discomfort of heart burn. It is a common symptom, caused by stomach contents spilling back up into the esophagus. The stomach has a lining to protect it from acid, but esophagus does not. There is a valve located where the stomach and esophagus join, called the lower esophageal sphincter valve or L.E.S. When the L.E.S is damaged, it doesn’t close properly to keep the contents down in the stomach where they actually belong. For those who have GERD, there is a back flow of acidic contents from the stomach.

It has symptoms like heart burn, sensation of food stuck in the throat, sour taste in mouth, nausea, vomiting, chronic coughing, difficulty in swallowing, painful swallowing, bad breath, feeling of a lump in the throat and uncomfortable feeling of fullness after meals. In severe cases it damages the teeth, stomach acid erodes the teeth enamel, also the entire digestive tract is damaged. GERD is very common digestive disorder.

GERD can be compared to AMLAPITTA in Ayurveda. It is one of the common digestive disorder of annavaha srotas. Even though amalapitta is a pittaja disease, yet vata, kapha singularly or in combined from are likely to involve in the pathogenesis. This metabolic disease make the person in a big trouble. And the good news is Ayurveda can treat the GERD very well. Dr.shyam’s Ayurveda offers ayurvedic treatments for digestive disorders. Our main objective is to balance the pitta and protect the digestive tract from getting damaged by aggravated pitta. Vamana followed by mild virechana should be administered. After sodhana (purification) shamana measures in terms of drugs and diet should be applied considering the association of dosa.
