Yasthimadhu Ksheerapmaka in Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Gastro – esophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a condition in which stomach acid or bile irritates the esophageal lining. Acid reflux can give rise to irritation and inflammation of lower end of esophagus. Stomach acids travel upwards causing an unpleasant burning sensation and it is referred to hyperacidity or heartburn. The nervous system and endocrine system work together to improve gastric secretion and motility. Its balance is maintained when food is eaten, and secretion is suppressed when stomach empties. The stages of HCL secretion has cephalic phase, gastric phase and intestinal phase. Fasting, overeating while having indigestion, practicing irregular eating habits, stress full work, overnight awaking cause increased acid secretion. Ayurveda references say Yastimadhu Ksheerapaka is a good remedy for hyperacidity and it is successfully used in curing many stomach ailments. Yastimadhu Ksheerapaka with its properties like madhura, rasaandvipaka, seta, snigdhagurugunas will shield the excess acid secretion and balance it. This occurs due to the antagonistic action of yashtimadhukseerapaka on hyperacidity/GERD. The present case report deals with brief discussion on action Yastimadhu Ksheerapaka and its importance in the management of Hyperacidity
