🌿 Do you experience heartburn, chest discomfort, or acid rising to your throat?
In KL & Bukit Jalil, acid reflux (GERD) is extremely common due to stress, late nights, and eating out.

Common symptoms include:

• Acid reflux / GERD

• Heartburn

• Sour taste in throat

• Throat irritation when lying down

• Chest pressure after meals

• Frequent belching

• Burning sensation in the upper abdomen

• Post-meal bloating

From a TCM perspective, acid reflux is not just a stomach issue—it’s a body imbalance.

🌿 How TCM Understands Acid Reflux

1️⃣ Liver–Stomach Disharmony (Stress Type)

Stress → Qi stagnation → reflux
✔ Heartburn
✔ Acid rising
✔ Chest tightness

2️⃣ Spleen–Stomach Weakness (Poor digestion)

Weak digestion → food retention → reflux
✔ Bloating
✔ Post-meal fatigue
✔ Nausea

3️⃣ Stomach Heat (Fire Type)

Caused by spicy food, coffee, late nights
✔ Burning sensation
✔ Severe heartburn
✔ Sour regurgitation

4️⃣ Phlegm–Damp Accumulation

Food stagnation → slow digestion
✔ Heavy feeling
✔ Thick phlegm
✔ Constant burping

💬 From the practitioner：

“Acid reflux isn’t caused by ‘too much acid.’
It’s caused by Stomach Qi moving in the wrong direction.
Once balance is restored, the reflux naturally disappears.”
