Herbal medicine for ulcers in Uganda
π Stomach ulcer (#heartburn) is a burning pain in your chest, just behind your breastbone.
π The pain is often worse after eating, in the evening, or when lying down or bending over.
π Occasional heartburn or stomach ulcer is common and no cause for alarm. Most people can manage the discomfort of heartburn on their own with lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications.
#Causes
π Heartburn occurs when stomach acid backs up into the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach (esophagus).
π Normally when you swallow, a band of muscle around the bottom of your esophagus (lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes to allow food and liquid to flow down into your stomach. Then the muscle tightens again.
π If the lower esophageal sphincter relaxes abnormally or weakens, stomach acid can flow back up into your esophagus (acid reflux) and cause heartburn. The acid backup may be worse when youβre bent over or lying down.
