Condition: Heartburn

Heartburn is sensation of painful burning in the upper chest.

Symptoms
Symptoms of heartburn usually consist of a sensation of burning or discomfort after eating, located in the middle of the lower chest underneath the sternum (breastbone). The discomfort may increase when bending over or lying flat on the back. Some people experience dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) or feeling like food is stuck in the lower esophagus while others may have a cough or respiratory discomfort, although these symptoms occur less frequently.

 

Root Causes
  • Digestive issues
  • Acid Reflux (GERD)
  • Hiatal hernia
  • Gastritis
Heartburn is not always related to an underlying condition. It may be caused by overeating (very large meals), spicy foods such as peppers, raw onions and / or garlic, eating just before bedtime, fatty- greasy foods, acidic foods such as tomatoes, lemon and orange juice, caffeinated drinks including coffee, tea and soda and alcohol consumption. Drinking too many liquids while eating can be a contributing factor as well.

 Home Remedies
  • Do not overeat: heartburn usually occurs after eating a large meal.
  • Lose weight: Acid reflux and heartburn are often caused by excessive pressure in the abdomen. Losing weight may well relieve your symptoms
  • Try a low-carb diet: Acid reflux can be caused by poor digestion of carbohydrates and an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. Studies suggest that a low-carb diet could help.
  • Limit your intake of alcohol and caffeine: Excessive consumption of alcohol and caffeine can make your symptoms worse.
  • Try essential oils: certain essential oils like ginger, peppermint, lemon and lavender essential oils can help.

For people with digestive problems, this reflex is sensitive or contain crystals. Stomach reflexology massage help relieve ulcers, bloating, and indigestion. It also improves digestion and increases digestive juices production). Pyloric sphincter (valve) reflex is present after the stomach. It releases the digested food from the stomach to the small intestine. Press & rotate this reflex point.
