G
astro-esophageal RefluxDisease (GERD) is a chronic disorder related to retrograde flowof gastroduodenal
contents in to oesophagus or adjacent organs causing troublesome symptoms and complications. It is
a highly prevalent condition and has a high impact on quality of life of patient. Reflux symptoms could
be caused by oesophageal hypersensitivity as a result of visceral-neural pathway dysfunction. The cardinal
symptoms of GERD are heart burn and regurgitation and other symptoms include nausea, globus sensations
and odynophagia. GERD is a clinical manifestation occurring due to the excessive reflux of acidic gastric
contents into the esophagus causing varying degree of symptomatic irritation or injury to the esophageal
mucosa. Milk decoction of
Liquorice
root (
Yashtimadhu ksheerapaka
) is a formulation prepared by processing
the milk with
Liquorice
root. The studies have shown that chemicals in
Liquorice
root (
Yashtimadhu
)
decreases the swelling of mucous membrane in inflammatory gastric conditions and milk will act as a media
and conveyor of medicinal properties to cells. Therapeutic attributes of
Liquorice
root (
Yashtimadhu
) buffer
the excess acid secretion and will balance the normal physiology. In Ayurvedic literatures anti-inflammatory,
antiulcer and antiemetic property of
Liquorice
root (
Yashtimadhu
) were also discussed. Here is a single group
clinical study by 50 patients using milk decoction of
Liquorice
root (
Yashtimadhu ksheerapaka
) for a period
of two months. It was successfully in treating symptoms of GERD and patients experienced reduction in
heartburn, regurgitation and nausea.
