Why take this course?
Join our course on GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease), also known as Acid Reflux, and discover how Chinese Medicine (TCM) can provide effective relief. With a prevalence that varies across global populations, GERD affects millions of individuals worldwide. Learn how TCM, with its holistic approach and centuries-old wisdom, has been used to successfully treat GERD for thousands of years.
In this course, we explore the advantages of TCM in addressing GERD and its underlying causes. While strong acid suppression treatments can offer quick symptom relief, they are not conducive to normal digestion. Furthermore, modern medicine struggles to effectively manage the complex upper gastrointestinal disorders and hormonal imbalances associated with GERD.
TCM's holistic treatment approach is centered on the principle of syndrome differentiation. It encompasses regulation of digestive tract dynamics, gastric acid secretion, gastrointestinal hormone levels, and emotional management, providing a comprehensive solution for GERD.
We delve into the etiology of GERD from a Chinese Medicine perspective, focusing on key factors:
Irregular Diet: Unhealthy eating and drinking habits weaken the digestive system, resulting in dampness, heat, and stagnation in the chest and diaphragm. This disharmony in the stomach leads to acid reflux.
Stomach Exposure to Cold Pathogen: Cold pathogens suppress stomach Yang and impair overall digestive functionality. Over time, this causes stagnation in the digestive system, leading to the accumulation of stomach acid and turbidity.
Emotional Disorders (Stress, Anxiety, and Depression): Liver Qi stagnation affects the digestive system, resulting in Qi stagnation. This disrupts the balance of heat and Qi in the stomach, contributing to acid reflux.
Deficiency of Spleen and Stomach Viscera: Prolonged improper diet, fatigue, and internal injuries damage the spleen and stomach, hindering their transportation function. This can lead to symptoms such as belching, acid vomiting, or saliva acid reflux.
Throughout the course, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of GERD from a Chinese Medicine perspective. We will explore key principles and treatment methods employed in TCM for GERD, with a focus on personalized care that addresses individual patterns and imbalances.
By the course's end, you will have the knowledge and insights to effectively manage GERD using the holistic approach of Chinese Medicine. This course is suitable for individuals seeking alternative approaches to GERD management, as well as practitioners interested in integrating TCM into their treatment repertoire.
