When you question a group of people, if they have ever
experienced a heart burn, I think every third person will raise their hand.
Heart burn is actually a misnomer since it doesn’t have anything to do with the
heart. It is it so called due to the burning sensation and warmth feeling in
the chest.
Generally esophagus allows the food to travel down into the
stomach .The muscle at the bottom of the tube prevents it from backing up. But
due to certain factors, this muscle becomes weak and unable to stop the
backward movements. Thus the acids that are produced in the stomach moves
upward into the esophagus (also called acid reflux) generating the
uncomfortable sensation.
Causes of heartburn
People experience heartburn at night since the peristalsis
movement of the esophagus and production of saliva decreases at that time of
the day. There are several reasons of heart burn but of them the following are
important:
• Food and drugs that irritates the lining of the esophagus
• Spicy food and beverages
• Any factor that creates a pressure on the stomach
• Certain medical conditions
A modification in the lifestyle, body positioning after
eating play an important role in managing heartburn but herbal medication acts
miraculously to not only treat the indication from grass root level without
just giving a symptomatic relief but also does not allow the problem to relapse
again.
Pepsto with the
goodness of Brahmi (Hydrocotyle asiatica) and Mulethi (Glycyrrhiza glabra)
provides a mucosal barrier and protects the stomach lining. Additionally Brahmi
is also a rich source of vitamin K, magnesium, calcium and sodium that helps in
neutralizing the stomach acids and aids in increased mucosal defense.
It is safe to be continued for a longer period without
changing the pH of the gut.
