The Importance of Balancing the Body & the Brain in GERD

The recent findings highlighting a 33% increase in dementia risk for long-term users of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) signal a need to reassess our approach to treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). In this context, integrating insights from Oriental Medicine can provide a holistic perspective on health and well-being.

Oriental Medicine and the Earth Element

In Oriental Medicine, the Earth Element, encompassing the stomach, is closely linked to the process of thinking. This philosophy suggests that our mental state and digestive health are intrinsically connected. The Spleen and Stomach, representatives of the Earth Element, not only process physical nourishment but also our thoughts and emotions. This viewpoint emphasizes that both our diet and our mental state ("what is 'eating us'") play a crucial role in overall health.

GERD Guard: A Harmonious Solution

GERD Guard, with its unique blend of vitamins, minerals, and botanicals, aligns with these principles. It provides nutritional support to the stomach and, by extension, to our cognitive processes, reflecting the interconnectedness of mental and physical health in Oriental Medicine. Its ingredients like DGL licorice, fennel, and ginger support digestive health, while vitamins B6, B9, and B12 support cognitive function.

Conclusion

This adapted approach to treating GERD with GERD Guard acknowledges the wisdom of Oriental Medicine, recognizing the interplay between what we consume and our mental state. It underlines the importance of addressing both dietary habits and mental well-being for holistic health.
