Gastro-esophageal reflux disease
(GERD)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD),
also known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gastric
reflux disease, or acid reflux disease, is defined as a chronic
condition of liquid stomach acid refluxing back up from the stomach
into the esophagus, causing heartburn. According to the study of
"Updated guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of
gastroesophageal reflux disease." by DeVault KR, Castell DO; American
College of Gastroenterology, GERD is defined as symptoms or mucosal
damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the
esophagus.
C. Traditional Chinese medicine
a. Ban Xia Xie Xin Wan, also known as "Pinellia Drain Epigastrium Pills"
was recorded in classic texts around 210 C.E. Though often referred to
as heartburn in classical Chinese medical literature, has been used in
TCM to treat various gastrointestinal disorders such as gastritis,
enteritis, gastric ulcer, gastralgia. In a study of "The effects of
hange-shashin-to on gastric function in comparison with sho-saiko-to."
by , , , , researchers
suggested that suggest that TJ-14 exhibits an anti-ulcer action
(probably based on its ability to protect the gastric mucosa),
improvement of gastric emptying and an anti-emetic action. TJ-9 also
showed anti-ulcer effects, probably based on its ability to suppress
gastric secretion and to protect the gastric mucosa. Thus, the present
study demonstrated the effectiveness of TJ-14 and TJ-9 against gastric
disease, and provided basic data which explain the differences in
clinical application between these two kampo medicines.
