        abstract = {Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by the reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus, resulting in symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain. The global prevalence of GERD ranges between 15–20%, with varying distribution across regions; in India, approximately 22.2% of the population is affected. Several factors contribute to the development of GERD, including obesity, sedentary lifestyle, dietary habits, smoking, alcohol consumption, and anatomical or functional abnormalities such as transient relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter and delayed gastric emptying. GERD may also present with extra-esophageal manifestations like chronic cough, asthma, hoarseness of voice, and sore throat. Diagnosis involves clinical evaluation and investigations such as proton pump inhibitor trials, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, barium esophagram, and esophageal manometry.
Homoeopathy offers an individualized therapeutic approach in the management of GERD by addressing the patient's constitutional and symptomatic picture...  Repertorization further assists in remedy selection by organizing symptoms systematically and guiding the physician toward the most similar remedy. Important rubrics related to GERD can be found in repertories such as Kent, Boenninghausen’s Characteristics Repertory, Clarke, Phatak, and Synthesis.
This article highlights the clinical understanding of GERD along with the role of homoeopathic therapeutics and repertory rubrics in its management, emphasizing the importance of individualized treatment for effective and holistic care.},
