Don't Lick Your Lips when Angular Cheilitis Appears

How to Cure Angular Cheilitis Naturally & Permanently in 12 Hours or Less

Angular Cheilitis, also known as angular stomatitis or cheilosis is a skin condition. When Angular Cheilitis appears some cracks will start showing on the skin, especially in the corners of the mouth and in the skin surrounding the mouth. These cracks grow deeper and deeper and in time may even start to bleed and transform into sores.

There are two main external causes from which Angular Cheilitis appears.

The first one is because of the existence of some skin folds around the mouth which favor the accumulation of saliva and sweat. Both these liquids contain bacteria and while the saliva and the sweat go deep in the skin, the bacteria and fungi starts affecting the layers of skin too, and gradually start developing and growing in number until Angular Cheilitis appears in its full form.

Another cause which triggers Angular Cheilitis is chapped lips. These usually appear when they are exposed to cold temperatures without any protection or without being hydrated enough.

When chapped lips appear, most people start licking them in hope of providing some relief from the pain and at the same time moisturize the area, thus reducing the effects of chapped lips. Yet, licking your lips when they are chapped is the worst thing you can do.

First of all because the saliva is not a great moisturizer and what it will do will only increase the damage caused by cold. In addition to that, in our mouths there are billions of bacteria which you can transfer, along with the saliva in the cracks of your chapped lips, thus giving a hand to the development and faster evolution of Angular Cheilitis.

When Angular Cheilitis appears, your lips are chapped or you see the first signs of cheilosis on the area around your lips and feel tempted to lick them, refrain from doing that! You will only make the condition worse.

Instead, try to always keep a lip balm with you during cold times and use them when you feel your lips need to be moisturized.

It will help you prevent the appearance of Angular Cheilitis or diminish its effects (if it already appeared on the skin). Also, it will provide relief and will keep the skin from the lips and from around them healthy and moisturized, helping it cope more efficiently with any skin condition which may appear, including when Angular Cheilitis appears.

Do Not Pick At Your Sores When You Have Angular Cheilitis

How to CureAngular Cheilitis Naturally & Permanently in 12 Hours or Less

Mixed feelings invade one's heart when you have Angular Cheilitis appear. There is embarrassment about the way in which the skin around the lips looks like and there is the feeling of fear of the way in which this condition may develop in time. Then, there is the pain which usually accompanies this condition.

With so many feelings crossing their souls, many people just panic and start picking at the cracked skin, in hope that this will hurry the process of healing. Yet, this is one of the worst things you do when you have Angular Cheilitis.

Here is why:

Angular Cheilitis involves the cracking of skin, inflammation, redness and in most severe cases infection and pus. In order for the skin to start healing, it will need to start regenerating the cells which have been damaged.

Thus, more often, in the cases precursory to the healing the skin will have a flaky aspect. This means that the skin is trying to remake the areas which are affected.

If you start picking at that skin and taking it from there you will further enlarge the lesions and prevent the skin from healing in an effective manner. In other words, instead of helping the skin to heal, as you may believe, you just make the process longer and more difficult.

In addition to that, the hand surface collects millions of bacteria each hour. Thus, placing your hands on the affected area will further increase the risk of infection.

Even though you have just got rid of all that nasty pus you can cause another infection just by picking at your sores and you do not want this to happen, right?

Also, picking at your skin when you have Angular Cheilitis may result in scarring the affected area. This is another reason for which you should keep your hands away from the area affected by Angular Cheilitis.

The temptation of trying to 'help' your skin recover faster when you have Angular Cheilitis by picking at your sores may be high. Yet, you should refrain from such actions if you do not want to prolong the time it will take your skin to heal and aggravate the situation.

3 Categories of People Prone to Angular Cheilitis

How to Cure Angular Cheilitis Naturally & Permanently in 12 Hours or Less

Each and every year, thousands or even millions of people are searching for an effective treatment that will get them rid of their Angular Cheilitis as soon as possible.

In order to see the people with high risk of suffering from this disease, it is absolutely necessary to understand what Angular Cheilitis is and how it develops.

Angular Cheilitis is a skin condition which affects the corners of the mouth and the skin from above and below them. In time, the condition can spread so that it can affect the entire area from above and below the lips.

People Prone to Angular Cheilitis #1 – Old People

In most cases, this condition is due to the fact that saliva and sweat are retained too much time inside some skin folds. This is mainly possible when people are wearing dentures that do not fit well, thus deforming the face and causing folds at the level of the mouth or when one or more teeth are missing and the mouth closes more than necessary.

These cases are more common in older people, as they are the one who have most teeth extracted and have to wear dentures. Also, because this condition is also influenced by the amount of vitamins and minerals present in the body, older people are first on the list as their immune system are quite low, many of them having deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.

People Prone to Angular Cheilitis #2 – Children

Another category very affected by Angular Cheilitis is that of children. They are quite sensitive to bacteria and fungi, so they can easily become the victims of this condition, especially if they do not have a diet which can offer them all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals they need for a strong immune system.

In addition to that, children have the bad habit of licking their chapped lips which can be a triggering factor of Angular Cheilitis. To prevent such a skin condition make sure that your little one has a balanced diet and that they have a lip balm which they can use in cold weather to moisturize their lips and prevent the apparition of chapped lips.

People Prone to Angular Cheilitis #3 – People with Poor Diet

Adults lacking Vitamin B (Vitamin B2, B3 and B6 especially), iron and zinc are also prone to Angular Cheilitis, but the cases of adults which have contracted this skin condition is much smaller than the number of cases reported for children and old persons.

Is Tea Tree Oil Great for Treating Angular Cheilitis?

How to Cure Angular Cheilitis Naturally & Permanently in 12 Hours or Less

When it comes to treating Angular Cheilitis people have come up with different treatments over the time.

Homemade recipes and medicines were combined in offering the ultimate treatment that will relieve people of the pain they felt when opening their mouth and of the embarrassment they had to face when going out of the house. Yet, until now their attempts only offered some relief, not a complete cure when it comes to treating Angular Cheilitis.

One of those wonder treatments promoted by many people was tea tree oil. Well known for its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties, the tea tree oil seemed to be the perfect remedy for treating Angular Cheilitis.

With proven successes in treating acne, the tea tree oil had given people lots of hopes that this will be the treatment they have long waited for.

So, studies have been made and many people tried this type of treatment on their faces and surprise: it really worked. The pus disappeared and the lesions started to heal. This was by far the best treatment for Angular Cheilitis which had been found.

Yet, after a period of time the people who have tested this method for treating Angular Cheilitis start experiencing side effects. Among the most common such side effects one could remember diarrhoea, weakening of the immune system, hormonal imbalances.

Pregnant women or those who breastfed their babies were prohibited from taking it after these side effects appeared. In addition to that, it was reported that some of the boys who have used the tea tree oil for treating Angular Cheilitis have suffered enlargements of their breasts.

In addition to that, when the Angular Cheilitis appeared for the second time in persons which have undergone the treatment with tea tree oil, this solution was no longer working so another treatment had to be used in order to relieve the pain and help the skin heal faster.

Thus, tea tree oil, in spite of the great substances it contains, must not be used for treating Angular Cheilitis for two reasons: first it has serious side effects and secondly, the disease gets resistant to it the second time it appears, so you will only make the disease stronger without effectively treating it.

Avoid Humid and Cold Places when You Suffer from Angular Cheilitis

How to Cure Angular Cheilitis Naturally & Permanently in 12 Hours or Less

Angular Cheilitis is probably one of the worst conditions which can affect your skin as it provokes deep cracks in the skin, provoking sores which may eventually start to bleed. There are cases in which the patient finds it hard to perform its normal activities like eating or speaking.

Because this condition develops quite fast and it can become rather severe in a short period of time it is necessary to start a treatment right from the first signs.

Yet, in order for the treatment to be highly effective, you have to stay away from the factors which have caused this condition or from those which may further aggravate it.

Among those factors which can cause people to suffer from Angular Cheilitis and make this condition worse we should name the bad dietary habits which should be replaced with proper nutrition and also some vitamin supplements.

The existence of folds around the mouth, which favors the accumulation of moisture (most often are caused by bad dentition or dentures that do not fit well) and an improper oral hygiene can also cause people to suffer from Angular Cheilitis.

It is also important to avoid cold places when you suffer from Angular Cheilitis. This is mainly because the cold weather increases the sensation of chapped lips.

People's tendency when they suffer from Angular Cheilitis is to lick their chapped lips to alleviate the pain and moisturize them. However, this is a false sensation as the more you lick your lips the more damage you cause them.

The saliva is not a good moisturizer and when it evaporates it further dries your skin, aggravating your condition. In addition to that the saliva contains bacteria so you grow the number of bacteria from the area affected by Angular Cheilitis each time you lick your lips.

If you suffer from Angular Cheilits, humid places should also be avoided, as in these places the bacteria develop much faster, thus the risk of infections is even bigger.

Instead you should stay in dry places and moisturize the skin using lip balms, ointments and creams which will trap the bacteria in between, thus killing them.

If you suffer from Angular Cheilitis and want to treat Angular Cheilitis faster, then you should stay away from humid places and cold ones. If this means that you will spend most of your time indoors, then you should do so. Exposing yourself to such harsh environments will only make the condition worse and your nightmare even longer and probably more painful!

Cracks in the Corners of the Mouth - A Sign of Alarm that Your Body Lacks Vitamins

How to Cure Angular Cheilitis Naturally & Permanently in 12 Hours or Less

The human body is like a machine: it is made of many parts which assembled work together great and one part influence the way the entire ensemble functions.

Yet, without one part the machine may broke down and not be able to work well ever again. This is why it is highly important to listen to what our body has to say very carefully and intervene when there is something wrong.

It is said that skin is the mirror of our body, thus if you see that there is something wrong with your skin, you should make a set of blood tests and see if there is something wrong inside or there is just an external issue.

One of the best ways through which the skin shows us that the body lacks the vitamins, minerals and nutrients it needs in order to function properly is through the well-known Angular Cheilitis, a skin condition which involves cracks in the corners of the mouth and along the lip lines, sores above the lips, pain when opening the mouth and sometimes itching when keeping it closed as well as sores and bleeding in extreme cases.

This skin condition is mainly caused by excessive moisture and bacteria and/or fungi accumulated in the corners or the folds of the mouth.

Apart from the appearance of cracks in the corner of the mouth, Angular Cheilitis has also an internal one which favors the rapid development of this skin condition. This factor is the low immune system.

The vast majority of people who have to face this disease have been proved to have serious deficiencies of the complex of vitamin B, especially riboflavin (Vitamin B2), niacin (Vitamin B3) and pyridoxine (Vitamin B6).

Iron and zinc deficiencies are also responsible for the apparition and evolution of Angular Cheilitis. Thus, if you see cracks in the corners of the mouth or you are already dealing with this condition you should make some blood tests and see which of these vitamins lack from your body.

This will help you treat the condition faster and at the same time strengthen your immune system and prevent any other types of illnesses from invading your body.

Be aware of what your body has to say and act accordingly especially if you see cracks in the corners of the mouth! Only this way will you be able to remain in good shape for a long time and prevent further illnesses from affecting you on the short and long run.

Why You Need to Take the Cracks on Corner of Lips Seriously?

How to Cure Angular Cheilitis Naturally & Permanently in 12 Hours or Less

Even though the appearance of cracks on corner of lips (which is called Angular Cheilitis) is a skin condition which may seem banal and almost harmless, this disease can seriously damage the human body.

Many people who have not given the cracks on corner of lips the right importance have seen how badly such a skin condition can affect their lives. Read on to find out the reasons from which you should address this condition from the apparition of the first signs.

Angular Cheilitis is the skin condition which involves the appearance of cracks on corner of lips, these cracks which with time grow bigger and deeper.

Gradually, the cracks on corner of lips become sores filled with puss and the person affected by this skin condition is no longer able to fully open the mouth as each time they do the skin cracks even more and the patient is in great pain.

What this means is that the person suffering from this condition is no longer able to have a proper nutrition, as each time they open their mouth the pain starts and the skin cracks.

Without an appropriate nutrition, the immune system loses its strength and ability to effectively fight this disease as well as any other internal or external aggressions.

Thus, the body gets weaker and weaker as time goes by and it is more prone to diseases and illnesses which otherwise might have fought with ease.

The intake of water is also affected. Even though the person affected by this condition drinks water, the quantity is far smaller than the usual amount, thus the skin no longer receives the moisture it needs and further cracking is favored, thus aggravating the condition.

Also, the entire body may get dehydrated and suffer from lack of water. All these happen because of those apparently harmless cracks on corner of lips

If you want to keep your body in perfect condition and avoid such terrible things to happen, make sure that you treat Angular Cheilitis from the first appearance of cracks on corner of lips.

It will not only exempt you of all the pain associated with this disease, but it will also help you keep your body in good shape and prevent any other kind of aggression on it!

Angular Cheilitis - Definition, Causes and Treatment

How to Cure Angular Cheilitis Naturally & Permanently in 12 Hours or Less

Angular Cheilitis is also known under the name or cheilosis or angular stomatitis. This condition affects the skin around the lips leading to painful cracks most often in the corners of the mouth.

In severe cases, the cracks can become inflamed, can bleed and sometimes infections are developed inside those cracks, which can make normal and banal actions, like talking or eating, a painful nightmare for the sufferer.

In most cases there is a cumulus of factors which lead to this condition. Probably the most important factor is the presence of moisture inside the mouth's folds.

This moisture favors the accumulation of bacteria which will eventually lead to irritation and even infection. Shallow ulcerations are also very often in severe case, these forming a crust if they are not wiped out from the surface.

Apart from moisture inside the corners of the mouth and in its folds, the bad nutrition is also a factor which can trigger this condition.

The lack of iron, zinc and riboflavin as well as a strong immune system that could effectively fight this type of aggression coming from the external world favor the fast development of Angular Cheilitis.

Chapped lips, which are continuously licked can easily transform into an angular Cheilitis, especially if the environment in which the individual lives is a humid or cold one. This is why, in cold weather people are recommended not to lick their lips as they will not bring any relief to the sensations brought by chapped lips, but rather make the condition worse.

The saliva does not moisturize the skin, but rather increases the risk of infection, as it contains lots of bacteria which can be quite harmful to the already damaged skin.

Children and seniors are more prone to develop this condition as they are more sensitive to extreme temperatures and their immune system is not capable of fully coping with the outside threats.

The infection with Candida Albicans (thrush) can further increase the patience sufferance and make the condition even more severe.

Usually, Angular Cheilitis is treated by doctors with antibiotics and with an ointment containing 1% hydrocortisone. Yet, the treatment may last for couple of weeks and even months. In some cases the condition keeps reappearing after a period of time, another treatment being necessary.

A Balanced Diet Can Help You Get Rid of Angular Cheilitis Much Faster

How to Cure Angular Cheilitis Naturally & Permanently in 12 Hours or Less

There are numerous medicines available on the market, which claim to heal you faster and easier of Angular Cheilitis. There are also numerous homemade recipes whose authors say that you will get rid of angular cheilosis in no time. Yet, when they are put to test, none of them proves to be as effective as they previously claimed.

This is why, if you want to get rid of Angular Cheilitis in a short period of time you will have to start combining your normal treatment (which is applied on the affected area) with a treatment which will strengthen your body, thus helping the skin to recover quicker from this condition.

The best way in which you can fortify your body and increase the resistance of your immune system is by changing your unhealthy and disorganized diet with a healthy one, filled with foods containing lots of vitamins and minerals.

Such a diet should include vegetables, fruits, cereals, fish, lean meat and dairy products, all of them in moderate quantities, as no exaggeration is good for your body.The main idea behind this statement is that Angular Cheilitis appears mostly in persons who have great deficiencies in vitamins and minerals.

Iron, zinc, vitamin B2, B3 and B6 are the ones responsible for a strong immune system. When they are missing, the chances of Angular Cheilitis occurrence increase significantly.

In case you have these deficiencies and you also have to deal with this skin condition, your body will not have enough strength to fight it effectively, thus the treatment period will be longer than usual.

Yet, if you start fortifying your body eating at least 3 meals a day, with healthy food, you will reduce the time needed for healing and will also help your skin recover without scars or spots on the affected area.

A healthy diet is good for every individual, but is even better for those who have suffered from Angular Cheilitis and are always under the threat that this condition may come back.

With a strong immune system, there will be no way that cheilitis will ever come back. Even if it does, in no more than one week you will get rid of angular cheilitis as your body will have the necessary resources to fight back!

Acid Reflux Diet - Acid Reflux Foods to Avoid

Click Here to Learn The Only Clinically Proven Step by Step Acid Reflux Success System

What acid reflux food should I avoid? This is a question most gastroesophageal reflux disease sufferers struggle upon.

Promoting healthy nutrition that is based on avoiding certain foods while increasing the intake of others has the potential to confer significant long-term health benefits among acid reflux sufferers.

Lifestyle and dietary alterations are considered to be an integral and inseparable part of any long-term holistic GERD treatment.

The foods we consume play an important role when it comes to keeping our body's delicate natural inner balance.

Since certain foods and dietary habits have been found to directly and indirectly promote the aggravation of acid reflux, avoiding those foods and adopting specific dietary habits for optimal digestion while suffering from acid reflux could have a tremendously positive effect on your existing medical condition.

The following are examples of these types of foods:

Acid Reflux Foods to Avoid #1 - Coffee and other caffeine containing beverages lead to increased acidity, so avoid large amounts of coffee. Try to limit your daily coffee consumption to two cups or less. It possible, split your coffee cup into two half cups, and reduce coffee drinking before the bedtime.

Acid Reflux Foods to Avoid #2 - Alcohol can irritate the stomach and relax the LES muscle, leading to increased acidity and reflux.

Acid Reflux Foods to Avoid #3 - High-fat foods are among the biggest culprits behind GERD symptoms. They take longer to digest and not easily eliminated out of body, thus increasing the chances acid will splash up into your esophagus. The only exceptions are omega-3 fatty acids from fish and fish oil, which are in fact powerful anti-inflammatory agents.

Acid Reflux Foods to Avoid #4 - Chocolate contains a great deal of caffeine and fat. This may increase acidity and worsen digestion and hence should be avoided. If you are a devoted chocolate enthusiast, go for dark, organic varieties, and eat no more then two to three tiny squares two to three times per week.

Acid Reflux Foods to Avoid #5 - Milk and milk-based products that contain a big proportion of calcium should also be avoided before bedtime.

Acid Reflux Foods to Avoid #6 - Peppermint, spearmint and other mints can worsen acid reflux symptoms. Avoid foods that contain strong mints, including mint-based herbal teas.

Acid Reflux Foods to Avoid #7 - Acidic foods (such as oranges and tomatoes) and cruciferous vegetables (onions, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach, brussels sprouts) promote the opening of the esophageal sphincter, thus increasing acid reflux.

So what acid reflux food should you avoid? With these dietary changes and a healthy motivation to alter your lifestyle, you can be on your way to overcoming gastroesophageal reflux disease and improving the quality of your life and well-being.

Whatever your medical condition is, when you finally decide to improve your quality of life, you can literally choose to cure GERD and prevent its recurrence, by adopting the holistic approach. You will have the power to make it happen

Causes of Acid Reflux

Click Here to Learn The Only Clinically Proven Step by Step Acid Reflux Success System

Acid reflux disease, also known as gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), occurs due to the coexistence of several medical and lifestyle conditions. Below here are 3 main causes of acid reflux.

Causes of Acid Reflux #1

Physiological factors that trigger GERD include lower esophageal sphincter (LES) hypotonia (the gradual weakening of the LES), along with retrograde flow of stomach contents into the esophagus, and the level of sensitivity of the esophageal mucus to the reflux content.

The food that you swallow travels down your throat and is pushed by contractions of the muscular esophagus. In the area where the esophagus joins the stomach a valve-like mechanism, known as lower esophageal sphincter (LES), is located. The closure of this muscle prevents stomach acid from backing up, or refluxing, into the esophagus.

LES malfunction is the first factor that causes and contributes to gastro-esophageal reflux disease. In a healthy individual, the LES relaxes only when food passes from the esophagus into the stomach. After the food passes into the stomach, the valve shuts off, keeping the stomach content and acid inside.

However, when the LES is weak and doesn't close properly, acid can splash up into your throat causing painful burning sensation, called heartburn.

There are several factors/conditions, which can prevent the LES from being closed properly. These factors/conditions include genetic weakness, obesity and excessive fat ingestion. In addition to that, all muscles in the human body tend to sag as part of the aging process, including the LES.

Causes of Acid Reflux #2

The second factor, or rather the group of factors that causes gastro-esophageal reflux disease, are behavioral and lifestyle related.

As mentioned above, a weakened LES is one of the direct physiological causes of acid reflux disease. Various food ingredients, drugs and nervous system processes can weaken this muscle, thus contributing to GERD.

Foods that may contribute to acid reflux include orange juice, lemons and lemonade, grapefruit juice, tomatoes and tomato juice, French fries, sour cream, coffee and tea.

Causes of Acid Reflux #3

Acid reflux can also be the result of fungal yeast infection that builds up in the colon. When Candida albicans turn from yeast to fungi, they depress the immune system and produce more than 79 distinct toxins that may be responsible for many of the symptoms that Candida sufferers have including heartburn.

When Candida gets out of control, it breaks through the intestinal walls and travels throughout the body. It can attach itself to the genital areas, the mouth and the esophagus among many other parts of the body.

When Candida goes out of control, it begins to ferment and reflux the contents of the stomach upward through the small intestines, through the stomach and then through the esophagus, causing infection, burning and damage to the esophagus

What Are The Symptoms of Acid Reflux?

Click Here to Learn The Only Clinically Proven Step by Step Acid Reflux Success System

It is widely agreed among physicians and medical paraprofessionals, that initial diagnosis, mostly by using a typical acid reflux symptoms questionnaire, is necessary to ensure the most effective and quick treatment for this condition.

Approximately 70% of the acid reflux diagnostics that are based on the presence of typical symptoms are accurate.

Since acid reflux, also called GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease), can cause patients a great deal of discomfort and result in severe complications, it is highly important to know how to identify symptoms of acid reflux in order to quickly diagnose and treat it.

The most common symptom of GERD is persistent heartburn. Heartburn is experienced as an unpleasant and painful burning sensation in the esophageal area. Other typical symptoms of acid reflux are as follows:

1. Gastric regurgitation, which means an unrestricted reversed flow of gastric or esophageal contents into the throat. This gastric fluid can cause respiratory complications under certain conditions.

2. Odynophagia, which means pain when swallowing.

3. Dysphagia, which means difficulty swallowing, or the feeling of food stuck in the throat.

In addition to the above, about 50% of all gastroesophageal reflux disease sufferers report the co-occurrence of sinonasal symptoms (i. e. symptoms pertaining to the nose and sinuses).

Abnormal symptoms of acid reflux include chronic wheezing and coughing (sometimes referred to as acid reflux related asthma, and are caused by the aspiration of gastric contents into the lungs area), spasmodic noncardiac chest pain and damage to the lungs, often followed by respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and asthma.

Intense chest pain may closely resemble that of myocardial infarction that it has often been incorrectly interpreted as a heart attack. However, unlike the symptoms of acid reflux disease, cardiovascular chest pain is usually aggravated during physical exercise.

Finally, acid reflux can also harm the vocal cords (hoarseness, laryngitis, cancer), ears (otitis media), and teeth (enamel decay).

Being able to identify those symptoms of acid reflux is of great importance to your health and general well-being and for the prevention of potential complications.

Symptoms of acid reflux might serve as evidence to severe overall internal imbalance. In addition to that, neglected gastroesophageal reflux disease can lead to significant physical discomfort and sometimes can results in chronic and even dangerous health conditions, such as esophageal cancer and pneumonia.

What Is Acid Reflux?

Click Here to Learn The OnlyClinically Proven Step by Step Acid Reflux Success System

Acid reflux disease, also known as gastro-esophageal reflux disease, or GERD, occurs due to the coexistence of two medical conditions.

The first acid reflux disease contributing condition is a retrograde flow of stomach contents into the esophagus. However, the reflux itself does not necessarily lead to gastro-esophageal reflux disease symptoms or histologic changes, and can occur among healthy individuals as well. In this case, the process is referred to as "physiologic gastroesophageal reflux".

The second acid reflux disease predisposing condition is a lower esophageal sphincter (LES) malfunction. The LES is a 3-cm to 4-cm ring of muscle, which is two to three times thicker than the proximal esophagus and acts as a valve between the esophagus and the stomach.

In the case of acid reflux disease, the LES does not close perfectly and stomach contents splashes up into the esophagus. When pathologic symptoms follow this process, the whole condition is called acid reflux disease.

Gastro-esophageal reflux disease is usually experienced as a persistent (at least twice a week) heartburn. Heartburn is the burning sensation in the chest or throat, caused by refluxed stomach contents touching the lining of the esophagus.

Since healthy individuals may also experience light reflux - occasional heartburn is common as well, and doesn't necessarily serve as an evidence of GERD.

Some GERD sufferers may also experience pain in the chest, cough, morning hoarseness, voice changes, difficulty swallowing (especially lumpy foods), chronic earache, burning chest pains, nausea or sinusitis.

Some patients report a sensation that reminds food stuck, choking or tightness in the throat. This happens due to continuous stomach contents acid flow that comes into contact with the esophagus and causes inflammation of the esophagus resulting in scars from tissue damage.

Untreated acid reflux disease can lead to serious health complications. Those include stricture formation, bleeding, ulcers and esophageal spasms.

When the stomach acid reaches the upper esophagus and trachea, the process can result in a variety of severe conditions, such as asthma, sinusitis and pneumonia. Finally, some people may develop Barrett's esophagus, a condition that manifest in an abnormal shape and color of cells in the esophageal lining. This condition is a precursor to esophageal cancer, especially in adults over 60 years old.

The treatment of gastro-esophageal reflux disease takes three forms: surgery, medical therapy and holistic therapy, including dietary and lifestyle changes and the intake of specific herbal supplements.

An undergoing surgery should be considered very carefully, since it can compound some underlying conditions, such as stricture and motility disorders. Medical treatment of GERD includes PPIs and H2 blockers.

While acid reflux can be treated by taking prescription medications or acid blockers such as the above, bear in mind that the results may be temporary and that some conventional medications can cause serious side effects.

From a holistic point of view, acid reflux disease is considered a warning sign of a major internal imbalance that needs to be properly addressed.

Therefore, alternative remedies, such as homeopathic remedies, herbal remedies, lifestyle changes as part of a complete holistic regimen are strongly recommended for acid reflux sufferers.
