GERD is Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or as it is commonly known: heartburn. This occurs when the acid from the stomach flows upward instead of downward. Acid reflux is a very common disorder which affects millions.
Traditional Chinese Medicine uses both Acupuncture points as well as Chinese Herbs for the treatment of GERD.
A study from Taiwan from 2005 concluded that a reduction of 40% acid reflux could be seen from the mild stimulation of a single acupuncture point commonly used for the treatment of GERD.
