Washington, United States, January 20: The United States researchers said this Friday that two nonsurgical processes aid in mitigating chances of the acid reflux disease.

They are particularly helpful in healing heartburn in patients who do not benefit from frequently used medications to cure the disease.

This persistent condition, also known as the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), is characterised by the backing up of stomach acid into the oesophagus, which causes irritation in the oesophagus lining. The result is inflammation. Unrelenting and severe heartburn is the general symptom of GERD.
