70% Relief In Chronic GERD Found In 4 Months With Homeopathy At Life Force
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is the inflammation of the inner lining of the stomach. When the stomach acid happens to flow back into the esophageal tube often, the reverse flow can irritate the inner lining of the esophageal tube. This may occur be due to today's stressful and modernized life.
Generally, most people experience mild gastric discomforts with the varying lifestyle and over usage of the drugs (non-prescription drugs). Mild attacks of GERD may occur once in a while, and moderate attacks happen to occur 2-3 times a week.

Homeopathic treatment is individualized as the homeopath believes in individualization. Most people can manage GERD by changing their lifestyle and diet management. But, in severe cases, the patient may need treatment that can help the affected person recover with no side effects.
The totality of symptoms produced by the patient helps in determining the homeopathic remedy. This case illustrates that homeopathy is highly effective in treating GERD in people of all age groups. It also improves the immunity of the person without any after-effects on taking the treatment.
