Acid Reflex
Acid reflux is when acid from inside your stomach flows up into your esophagus and throat. At the entrance to your stomach is a valve, a ring of muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Normally, the LES closes as soon as food passes through it. But if it doesn’t close all the way or it opens too often, acid from your stomach can move up into your esophagus. This can cause symptoms such as a burning chest discomfort called heartburn. If acid reflux symptoms happen more than twice a week, you may have acid reflux disease, also known as gastroesophageal reflex disease (GERD).
Acupuncture Treats Acid Reflex
By selecting certain acupuncture points on the body, acupuncture for acid reflex speeds up metabolism, increases gastrointestinal muscle contraction and relaxation, reduces gastric acid secretion, regulates small and large intestine function, and restores stomach acidity to normal levels. In conjunction with Nutrition and Cupping, acupuncture for acid reflex is beneficial in the treatment of general gastrointestinal symptoms, stress and is also a great weight loss program.
Acupuncture Effectively Treats Acid Reflex
Acupuncture is very effective in treating acid reflex. Treatment frequency and number of treatments needed depend on a variety of factors; the severity and duration of the symptoms and the quality and quantity of your Qi. Some people experience immediate relief; others may take weeks or even months to achieve results. Angie may suggest one or two treatments per week, or monthly visits for health maintenance and seasonal “tune-ups”.
