A Review on Homeopathic Management of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A Holistic and Natural Approach
Dr. Rashmi Shivanand Varshetti
Abstract: Background: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common digestive disorder characterized by acid reflux, heartburn, and regurgitation, significantly affecting the quality of life. Conventional treatments such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antacids provide symptomatic relief but may lead to long-term side effects. Homeopathy offers a holistic, individualized approach to managing GERD by addressing underlying causes and promoting natural healing. Methods and Methodology: This study explores the role of homeopathic remedies in GERD management through an evidence-based approach. A comprehensive review of homeopathic literature, clinical studies, and case reports was conducted to identify the most effective remedies. Additionally, patient case studies were analyzed to evaluate symptom improvement following homeopathic treatment. The individualized prescription method, based on symptom similarity and patient constitution, was emphasized to ensure targeted treatment. Results: The analysis revealed that homeopathic remedies such as Nux Vomica, Carbo Vegetabilis, Arsenicum Album, Lycopodium, and Pulsatilla effectively alleviated GERD symptoms in various patient cases. Improvements were noted in heartburn, bloating, acid regurgitation, and overall digestive health. The holistic approach of homeopathy, combined with dietary and lifestyle modifications, contributed to long-term relief and reduced dependency on conventional medications. Conclusion: Homeopathy offers a safe, non-invasive, and personalized treatment for GERD, addressing both symptoms and root causes. While further large-scale clinical trials are needed, existing evidence and case studies support its efficacy. Integrating homeopathic treatment with lifestyle changes can provide sustainable relief for GERD patients, enhancing their overall well-being.
