Acid Reflux Causes
(according to ancient Oriental wisdom)

Oriental medicine understands acid reflux causes differently from (and better than, in my opinion) Conventional medicine. And why shouldn't it? It's only had...

... thousands of years to get it right.!

Oriental medicine sees three main acid reflux causes... and 2 of the three are related to your diet. And here they are...

1st Cause Of Acid Reflux

Wrong eating habits (mostly how you eat, more than what you eat). These include:

• Eating late at night
• Eating in a hurry
• Overeating
• Eating while stressed, including activities like:
• Arguing while eating
• Talking about work while eating
• Eating while driving (I'll bet you've done that, haven't you?)
• Engaging in stressful work just after eating

This type of acid reflux usually shows up with other symptoms like:

• Stomach pain
• A mild thirst, usually for cool liquid (you probably only want to take small sips)
• Dry mouth or throat
• Feeling low grade fever
• Your cheeks flush
• Possible hot flashes
• Night sweats
• A sensation of heat in your palms, soles of your feet and chest
• Constipation (dry stools)
• Less appetite
• Full feeling after meals
• Most of this happens late in the day or into the evening, and gets worse later into the night

2nd Cause Of Acid Reflux

• Peppers
• Garlic
• Curry
• Ginger
• Cardamom and other spices

Smoking also adds heat into your body and is one of the important acid reflux causes.

(Bear in mind, eating other foods like too many raw vegetables, cold or iced drinks, dairy and alcohol cause other problems that are generally damaging to your digestion, too. )

These acid reflux causes will often cause additional symptoms like:

• Burning sensation in your stomach
• Strong thirst and you want to drink cold fluids
• Strong and constant hunger
• Painful, swollen and/or bleeding gums
• Constipation (dry and hard stools)
• Nausea / vomiting after meals
• Your breath is bad

3rd Cause Of Acid Reflux (This is the most common type)

Excessive or long-term emotional upsets, primarily:

• Frustration
• Resentment
• Stress
• Anger
• Depression

These acid reflux causes will usually show up with these other symptoms:

• Irritability
• Distension and bloating in your stomach
• Pain in your ribs/flanks
• Belching and nausea
• Possibly headaches in your temples
• All these problems will get worse with stress *
