What is Acid Reflux Disease?
July 7th, 2007
Acid reflux disease is a condition in which stomach acid washes back up onto the esophagus, causing severe discomfort. Stomach acid burns the esophagus lining due to a relaxed lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The LES acts as a valve between your stomach and the esophagus. The valve is designed to open and allow food into the stomach, and then close, protecting the esophagus from acids. However, if the LES is not closing properly, acid rushes or refluxes upward, coating the esophagus, and causes a burning sensation. Recently Herbal Remedies for Acid Reflux have become a more popular treatment option. You owe it to yourself to explore all the available treatment options.
