GERD (Acid Reflux) is a persistent medical condition characterized by the backward flow of stomach acid into the esophagus. This reflux results in irritation and inflammation of the esophageal lining, causing discomfort and various symptoms. Nighttime acid reflux can lead to complications such as a chronic cough, laryngitis (inflammation of vocal cords), and exacerbation of asthma symptoms.
Factors Contributing to GERD (Acid Reflux):
Certain medications and dietary supplements can exacerbate acid reflux and worsen GERD (Acid Reflux). These include anticholinergics (used for overactive bladder and irritable bowel syndrome), tricyclic antidepressants, calcium channel blockers, statins, medications for high blood pressure and heart disease, opioids, and progesterone. Sedatives or tranquilizers can also aggravate the condition.
Role of LMNT Sanjeevani in GERD (Acid Reflux) Management:
LMNT Sanjeevani offers a promising approach to GERD (Acid Reflux) management through several mechanisms:
Stimulation of the Vagus Nerve:
The Therapy stimulates the Vagus nerve, which plays a pivotal role in regulating internal organ functions such as digestion, heart rate, respiratory rate, and vasomotor activity. By enhancing Vagus nerve activity, LMNT Sanjeevani aids in the natural regulation of bodily processes, including digestion, potentially alleviating GERD (Acid Reflux) symptoms.
Regulation of the Enteric Nervous System:
LMNT Sanjeevani effectively stimulates and regulates the Enteric Nervous System (‘ENS’). This system governs the gastrointestinal tract and is crucial for maintaining proper digestive function. By modulating the ENS, the Therapy promotes better coordination between the gut and the brain, which is essential for managing gastro-intestinal disorders, including GERD (Acid Reflux).
Improvement of Gut-Brain Axis Communication:
LMNT Sanjeevani enhances the coordination between the gut and the brain, focusing on the emerging field of the gut-brain axis. This communication pathway is increasingly recognized as vital in addressing gastrointestinal and psychiatric disorders. By optimizing this connection, the Therapy aids in the management of GERD (Acid Reflux) at its root cause.
Restoration of Kidney Function:
LMNT Sanjeevani stimulates kidney function, facilitating the efficient filtration of acid metabolites. This process helps restore the body’s acid-base balance (homeostasis), contributing to the overall management of GERD (Acid Reflux). By supporting kidney function, LMNT Sanjeevani addresses the metabolic aspects of acid reflux, further aiding in its resolution.
Symptomatic Relief and Management:
Additionally, LMNT Sanjeevani provides relief from symptoms associated with GERD (Acid Reflux), such as dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), laryngitis, and asthma. By alleviating these symptoms, the Therapy enhances the overall quality of life for individuals suffering from GERD (Acid Reflux), making it a comprehensive solution for both symptomatic relief and addressing the underlying causes of the condition.
In summary, by addressing both the root causes and associated symptoms, LMNT Sanjeevani offers a holistic approach to GERD (Acid Reflux) care, enhancing the well-being of individuals affected by this chronic condition.
