Key Takeaways of Time taken for GERD to heal naturally

In this article

GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease, can be effectively treated through a natural approach. The healing time for GERD varies depending on its severity.

  • Mild GERD: Individuals with mild GERD, experiencing 2-3 bouts of hyperacidity per week, typically heal within 1-2 months with HealZen’s PRO-therapeutic protocols.
  • Moderate GERD: Those with moderate GERD, characterised by daily bouts of hyperacidity and esophageal inflammation, may experience healing in 3-4 months with HealZen’s PRO-therapeutic protocols.
  • Chronic GERD: The most severe form, chronic GERD, involving vocal changes due to vocal cord inflammation, may require 6-8 months for complete healing through HealZen’s PRO-therapeutic protocols.

Mind Blowing Fact about GERD

Why should GERD be treated naturally?

GERD can significantly impact your quality of life and while traditional medical treatments, such as antacids, may provide temporary relief, long-term reliance on these medications can lead to several drawbacks:

  • Drug Resistance: Prolonged use of antacids can lead to drug resistance, making them less effective over time.
  • Nutrient Absorption Interference: Antacids can interfere with the absorption of certain nutrients, such as iron, vitamin B12, and calcium, potentially leading to deficiencies.
  • Electrolyte Imbalance: Excessive antacid use can disrupt the balance of electrolytes in the body, leading to symptoms like fatigue, muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeat.
  • Mask Underlying Conditions: Masking GERD symptoms with antacids can delay the diagnosis of more serious conditions, such as peptic ulcers and hiatal hernia.
  • Dysbiosis: Prolonged use of antacids create an imbalance in gut microbiome. This imbalance is known as dysbiosis.

Apart from the above, there are more benefits of healing GERD naturally:

  • Natural healing for GERD focuses on addressing the root causes of the condition. This allows you to enjoy a variety of foods in moderation, without the need for overly restrictive diets.
  • Natural healing for GERD brings the body back to an alkaline state, which is essential for optimal health and healing.
DOs & DON’Ts of HealZen’s GERD Treatment

What treatments are involved during the time of natural healing of GERD?

While the treatment time to cure GERD naturally varies with the symptoms, HealZen’s treatment during the time of natural healing of GERD happens involves the following:

Part 1: PRO-therapeutic protocols

Our PRO-therapeutic protocols, rooted in rigorous medical research, effectively address the root causes of GERD. These phyto-extract formulations are based on extensive medical research and clinical studies published in American and European journals. In case of GERD it consists of:

  • Formulation 1 (Liquid) - This formulation is called Chlorobia
    Trusted Source

    Research Gate ( Germany )
    Cambridge University Press (UK)

     which detoxifies the blood and brings back the pH level of the blood. Chlorobia, the same element that converts sunlight into energy during photosynthesis in plants, has a number of proven health benefits. These benefits have been documented in various medical journals published in the United States and European countries. The benefits are as follows:
    • It is the most powerful natural antioxidant that promotes growth of good bacteria
    • It enhances metabolism
    • It is a natural antacid/ neutraliser that balances the pH level of the blood
    • It contains a wide range of bioactive compounds that have a wide range of beneficial effects for humans
  • Formulation 2 (Capsule) - This formulation is called Protogala
    Trusted Source

    Google Scholar (US)
    PubMed Central (US)

    Go to source:

     which contains molecules of the first form of breastmilk that is released by the cow’s mammary glands after giving birth. It has a the following benefits:
    • Strong immune modulator helps in mucosal healing
    • Helps in protein digestion, nutrient absorption and gastro-intestinal health
    • It is a natural probiotic
  • Formulation 3 (Soft gel) - This formulation is called Linum 369
    Trusted Source

    Google Scholar (US)

    Go to source:

     which is a combination of three essential fatty acids that are vital for human health. These fatty acids are not produced by the body and must be obtained through diet. It also contains 20 amino acids including 9 essential amino acids. It has the following benefits:
    • Potent anti-inflammatory properties which helps in healing the inflamed gut mucosa
    • It is an antioxidant and helps protect our cells from damage caused by free radicals
    • Contains minerals like zinc and magnesium which is important for gut health
  • Formulation 4 (Capsule) - This formulation is called Curcucure
    Trusted Source

    Google Scholar (US)

    Go to source:

     which is phytoextract and has much better cellular absorbability than regular Curcucure because of its micro molecular structure that allows it to act at the cellular level.
    • Anti inflammatory properties that helps manage inflammatory conditions
    • Ability to modulate gut microbiota

Part 2: Diet Modifications

We conduct a thorough session of diet recall in which we note down all the eating habits of the patients. After a thorough analysis, we recommend simple diet tips to follow. While these diet tips may differ with every patient, below are a few examples of what might be instructed.

  • Avoiding spicy food: This is because spicy and oily food is responsible for eroding the gut mucosa. Spices & oil are not a problem for a healthy gut mucosa, but when the gut mucosa is already damaged spicy and oily food can result in further erosion that increases the severity of GERD.
  • Staying gluten free: Wheat contains gluten consuming which over a long time deposits a layer of gluten on the intestinal lining which interferes with proper functioning of the gut. Avoiding gluten involves replacing wheat rotis in your meals with rotis made from Bajra, Jowar, Ragi, Rice etc. It also means avoiding maida (refined wheat flour) in all forms such as breads, biscuits, etc.
  • Stopping carbonated beverages: Carbonated beverages add to acidic pH level of the stomach and goes against the aim of creating an alkaline environment in the body.
  • Eating on time: Extended gaps between meals increase the acidic levels in the body which add to the hyperacidity environment.
