Gastric acid reflux is a common civilization disease of modern people, especially often stay up late, too much pressure and the habit of eating until full is the most troubling, although the throat, chest and abdomen “stuck”, to an acid suppressant or a packet of gastric milk, the neutralization of stomach acid immediately effective, but Chinese medicine practitioners remind, over-reliance on drugs to suppress stomach acid, but may be buried in allergic body unpredictable bombs.
Acid reflux into the esophagus is called esophageal acid reflux, and reflux into the throat is called pharyngeal acid reflux, but either way, it makes you feel as if there is a fire burning in your throat, upper abdomen and chest, and you feel uncomfortable.
The liver, gallbladder, intestines and stomach are classified as one system in Western medicine, but Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee, a Chinese medicine doctor, said that although the stomach and intestines are one system, they are very different. The function of the stomach is to accept, eat is to accept; and the large intestine, small intestine is the main qi and blood push up, push up the nutrition to the liver, blood, push up to the whole body meridians, all the way to the lungs.
To solve the problem of acid reflux, we must first understand its causes. Chinese medicine has observed that most people with acid reflux are heavy on their appetites, preferring heavy, stimulating foods, and eating more and faster, resulting in excess stomach capacity
If the large intestine and small intestine can be normal and healthy fermentation, the smooth transport of Qi and blood to the whole body, we eat food will not accumulate in the stomach, but can enter the intestine smoothly digestion, absorption, and become the body’s nutrients. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee pointed out that if the subdivision, the small intestine and duodenum is responsible for decomposition, fermentation of nutrients, and then finally through the large intestine gasification. The Chinese medicine believes that the large intestine, which turns water into gas, and the lungs are mutually exclusive.
Unlike the common concept of absorption to explain the function of the large and small intestines, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee is accustomed to using the term “evaporation” to describe the transportation of the small intestine. He stressed that the small intestine is a fire, and the heart is the epitome of the heart, the heart has been promoting the circulation of blood throughout the body, there must be a constant flow of nutritional energy in, and the energy comes from the small intestine.
Qi is water vapor, through the evaporation of the large intestine will become clean water, Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee explained that many mucous membranes and mesh inside the intestine, as a filter, the body should not be absorbed through the filter clean, lung breathing is dependent on the power of the large intestine to push up, so that the lungs can stretch, is the most basic power to promote all life.
Many people think that too much stomach acid is not good, but Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee reiterates that the stomach should have stomach acid, and more stomach acid is not a bad thing. Only when there is more stomach acid and the pH is normal, can the external bad bacteria be killed and the gastrointestinal tract be protected from abnormal fermentation that may cause the body to become bad and become allergic. On the contrary, if excessive use of acidulants integrated stomach acid, reduce the amount of gastric acid secretion, destroy the first line of defense to kill bacteria, the same as planting the body’s unpredictable bombs, easy to produce allergic body, viral infections, allowing abnormal enzymes, abnormal mold in the body to have a place.
To treat acid reflux, we should not rely on medication. Dr. Sheng-Pu Lee emphasized that we should help increase the evaporation capacity of the intestine so that food does not stay in the stomach for too long and the intestinal Qi and blood do not accumulate smoothly, so that the stomach acid does not reflux naturally.
