  • Abstract:
  • Background: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder characterized by chronic heartburn, acid regurgitation, and discomfort. Conventional treatment often involves proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which may provide temporary relief but can lead to long-term side effects and dependency. Homeopathy offers a holistic, individualized treatment approach with minimal adverse effects. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of constitutional homeopathic remedies in alleviating GERD symptoms using a case series approach. Methods: A case series of 10 patients aged between 25 and 60 years with clinically diagnosed GERD was analyzed. Each case was evaluated using a detailed homeopathic case-taking process. Constitutional remedies were prescribed according to classical homeopathic principles. The primary outcome measured was symptom relief based on a GERD symptom score recorded at baseline, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. Results: Out of 10 patients, 7 reported significant improvement in symptoms within 3 months, with 5 maintaining sustained relief at 6 months. Three patients reported moderate improvement. No patients reported worsening of symptoms or adverse effects. The majority showed reduced dependence on conventional antacids and PPIs. Conclusion: Constitutional homeopathic remedies demonstrated promising results in managing GERD symptoms in the analyzed cases. The findings support the need for larger, controlled trials to confirm the therapeutic benefits and reproducibility of outcomes.
