Many people suffer from stomach problems. In this article, we would like to introduce some methods traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners use to prevent and treat gastroesophageal reflux disease and gastric ulcers.

What Is Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease?

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder in which stomach acid or food from the stomach flows backward into the esophagus, resulting in symptoms such as a burning sensation, throat discomfort, and nausea.
According to a 2018 online survey of 71,812 people aged 18 or older across the United States, 30 percent of adults experience GERD each week.
