Acid reflux symptoms (or GERD) are one of the most common digestive complaints in the Western world and include heartburn and regurgitation. Natural treatment options for acid reflux disease include herbal remedies, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other forms of alternative medicine. Read on to learn more on relieving heartburn and other acid reflux symptoms naturally.

Alternative Remedies for Acid Reflux Disease (GERD)

Consult with an acupuncturist about the acid reflux symptoms. Acupuncture is one of the most popular natural remedies in traditional Chinese medicine. The practitioner will take a health history and conduct an examination to determine the cause of the heartburn. He or she will then insert very long, fine needles into specific points (acupoints) in the body. Depending on the severity of GERD symptoms, a few sessions may be required to see an effect.
