Esophagitis can be treated naturally

Gastroesophageal reflux is actually retrograde turning of food with gastric juices from the stomach into the esophagus channel. Normally, between the esophagus and stomach sphincter there is a way around that block communication of the contents of these bodies, so the food reached the stomach not return to esophagus. Moreover, the lining of the esophagus is not adapted to stomach acid, such as gastroesophageal reflux cause damage to the esophagus, which later can produce scars and may reduce the lumen of the esophagus causing swallowing problems, esophageal diverticulitis or, worse, esophageal cancer. So Reflux Disease should not be neglected.

The causes of reflux are often the nature of food: hearty and high in fat and / or acidic foods. There are other situations, such as hiatal hernia, gastritis, ulcers and stress that can lead to esophageal reflux. Also other risk factors are obesity, smoking and alcohol.

Esophagitis are of two types - acute and chronic. Acute esophagitis is inflammation of the lining of the esophagus which, in most cases, is infectious, toxic or corrosive. Very rarely is allergic or suppurative. At this condition, often is known the cause of the disease and will do everything to remove it. Whether it is toxic, infectious, corrosive (caustic soda, sulfuric acid.) or allergic, cause can be treated.

A disease, multiple causes

 Esophagitis are chronic diseases that can have multiple causes. This condition is aggravated by cold, damp, tobacco, alcohol, other irritants that may be even the food: for example, more frequent consumption of foods with spices or too hot or too cold foods commonly consumed. Chronic esophagitis is caused most often by unhygienic eating, with inadequate or incomplete chewing, teeth or abuse due to deficiencies of spices. In some cases, it is caused by alcohol abuse or gastroesophageal reflux, hiatal hernia, rarely mycosis, syphilis and other diseases.
