Heartburn Post 1:

Amongst the many symptoms and conditions people experience, heartburn is one of the most common. Heartburn commonly causes symptoms such as the feeling of burning all the way into your mouth, chest pain or discomfort, and burning in the back of your throat. But, what is it? Heartburn is one of those conditions that really separates the holistic and allopathic perspectives of medicine. From a holistic point of view, heartburn is associated with a weakening of the stomach acid - this forces the stomach to physically work harder, causing weakened stomach acid to enter the throat and cause the burning sensation. This is different from the classic, allopathic viewpoint that the body is over-producing this acid. To help, we need to temporarily remove the trigger foods, as well as incorporating assistance to the pH of the body.

Some common triggers include:

-Alcohol

-Caffeine (chocolate, tea, coffee, soda, etc.)

-Carbonation (soda, bubbly water, bubbly alcohol, etc.)

-Citric acid (tomatoes, citrus fruits, etc.)

-Fatty red meat

-Spicy, salty, or rich foods

-Stress (specifically cortisol and epinephrine)
