MEET PROFESSIONALS

What is Heartburn? 

Heartburn is a symptom of Gastroesophageal reflux disease, commonly referred to as GERD, or acid reflux. GERD is a medical condition in which the liquid content of the stomach regurgitates (refluxes) into the oesophagus. The malfunctioning of the oesophagus will cause a burning sensation which radiates from the mid to upper chest. 
​
Symptoms of Acid Reflux:
  • Heartburn
  • Bloating
  • Burping 
  • Bloody or Black stool or Bloody vomiting
  • Dysphagia- Sensation of food being stuck in throat 
  • Hiccups
  • Nausea

Causes of Acid Reflux: 
​

Dietary habits, such as overeating, consumption of caffeine, tomatoes, acidic fruit juices, fatty and spicy foods, and chocolate can cause heartburn as well as a stressful lifestyle.

Acid reflux from the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine
​

According to the World Health Organization and the National Institutes for Health, TCM therapies, such as acupuncture, are useful in the natural treatment for acid reflux and many other digestive disorders, including food allergies, gastritis, ulcers, irritable bowel, and colitis.
​
Unlike Western medicine which views GERD as having a primary cause, which is similar in all cases, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has many different diagnoses, known as patterns, for this condition. From the TCM perspective, the gallbladder, pancreas, liver, and spleen work to aid the stomach’s digestion. When these organs function improperly the digestive system becomes imbalanced and acid reflux and heartburn occurs. GERD is also viewed as being caused by emotional stress disrupting the chi, or vital energy flow.

Acupuncture treatment on Acid reflux 
​
TCM therapies, such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Tai Chi, and Qigong may be used in conjunction with the treatment of GERD. These TCM therapies can help to lower gastric acid, adjust oesophagal pressure and balance the functions of the digestive organs.

TCM therapies can reduce emotional stress and restore healthy chi flow. During acupuncture therapy, stimulation of particular acupuncture points inhibits the esophageal sphincter relaxation, which reduces acid reflux and occurrence of heartburn. Acupuncture points located in the stomach area, on the lower arms and legs and on the head or back may be selected for treatment.
​

Once your acupuncture physician assesses and determines a diagnosis, a pattern becomes apparent. Your acupuncture physician will then structure an appropriate therapy plan to address the underlying cause as well as alleviate the symptoms. In addition to TCM therapies, a stress management plan and dietary modifications will be recommended by your acupuncture physician to minimize acid reflux and heartburn.
