Zemaflux & GERD-New Natural Relief
Acid reflux occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, the tube that connects the mouth and the stomach. Heartburn is a burning sensation in the chest or throat caused by acid reflux. GERD is an abbreviation for gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is a chronic and severe form of acid reflux that can lead to complications such as inflammation, ulcers, and esophageal cancer.
Causes of Acid Reflux
Acid reflux can be caused by various factors that affect the function of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscular valve that normally prevents the acid from escaping the stomach. Some of these factors are:
Obesity:
Excess body weight can raise stomach pressure, causing acid to flow back into the esophagus.
Hiatal hernia:
A condition in which a portion of the stomach bulges through a diaphragm opening into the chest, weakening the LES and causing acid reflux.
Pregnancy:
Hormonal changes and increased abdominal pressure might impair the LES’s function during pregnancy.
Connective tissue disorders:
These conditions can impair the muscles and nerves that govern the LES, reducing its effectiveness.
Delayed stomach emptying:
Acid reflux can be exacerbated by conditions that impede stomach emptying, such as diabetes or gastroparesis.
Dietary and lifestyle factors:
Certain foods, beverages, medications, and habits, such as fatty foods, caffeinated or carbonated drinks, alcohol, spicy foods, chocolate, mint, citrus fruits and juices, tomatoes and tomato products, garlic and onion, some drugs, smoking, and stress, can lower LES pressure or increase stomach acid production.
All these causes significantly affect the tightness of the LES and this results in a loose LES which in return further aggravates the acid reflux. Your stomach is protected by acid through a thick lining of mucous and your esophagus and throat do not have that lining. Normally, acid reflux affects your esophagus but in rare cases, gastric acid can find a way to your trachea (windpipe).
Acid reflux can significantly impact the quality of life of people who suffer from it. The frequent and persistent symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and chest pain can be distressing and uncomfortable, interfering with daily activities and disrupting sleep. Additionally, acid reflux can cause complications that may require medical attention and treatment, further affecting one’s quality of life. Acid reflux can give rise to medical complications like Esophagitis, Barrett’s Esophagus, Esophageal Strictures, Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR), and Asthma.
Since medicines can give you relief from acid reflux they cannot tighten your lower esophageal sphincter (LES) muscle. There is a way to tighten your LES and that involves physiotherapy by a therapist and that can be expensive and time-consuming. Recently, due to advancements in technology, ZEMALABS was able to develop a device to aid your physiotherapy and help you save time and money for GERD Natural Relief.
ZEMAFLUX – Natural Relief From Acid Reflux
ZEMAFLUX Reflux Resistant Trainer is a revolutionary device that helps you strengthen and tighten your LES with resistant training. Like any other muscle in our body, its strength can be increased through resistance training. ZEMAFLUX Reflux Resistant Trainer works on the principle of diaphragmatic breathing. Diaphragmatic breathing is a type of breathing exercise that involves using the diaphragm, the main muscle of respiration, to breathe deeply and slowly.
It can have beneficial effects on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), the muscular valve that prevents stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus, causing acid reflux, heartburn, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).
According to a study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, diaphragmatic breathing can lower the number of postprandial reflux events, which are episodes of acid reflux that occur after eating, by creating a greater difference between the LES and the gastric pressure.
This can enhance the anti-reflux barrier and reduce the frequency and duration of acid reflux episodes. The study also found that diaphragmatic breathing can reduce esophageal acid exposure, which is a measure of how much acid comes into contact with the esophagus, and improve the symptoms of GERD.
ZEMAFLUX Reflux Resistant Trainer automatically lets you breathe through your diaphragm. With the Zemaflux 8-week program, your diaphragm thickness significantly improves along with the LES tightness. Using it twice a day for 3 minutes offers a drug free alternative to your acid reflux medication.
How to use ZEMAFLUX
There are certain key points you need to know before using the Zemaflux.
• Zemaflux comes with an adjustable resistance that you can increase over time as you further strengthen your LES. To adjust the resistance, and rotate the mouthpiece, you can increase the pressure to a maximum of 45 cmH2O. Start with 10 cmH2O pressure and increase it until you feel a strong resistance. Usually, it’s around 15 – 25 cmH2O as you start using it.
• Now we are done with the settings, next comes the posture and this is crucial when using Zemaflux. When using Zemaflux, you need to stand upright or sit upright on a hard chair. Keep your head upright and hold Zemaflux directly in front of you.
• While sitting or standing, hold the trainer to your lips and inhale quickly and deeply in a single breath.
• Now hold your breath for 2 seconds
• Breathe out with your mouth in one quick blast. Remember not to blow the air in the trainer.
• Do this rapidly 5 times. 5 breaths equal to 1 cycle. Complete 6 cycles per session making it a total of 30 breaths. Take a break of 2 – 3 seconds in between each cycle.
• Repeat this twice a day for 8 weeks for effective results.
• Make sure to increase the resistance every week to increase the strength of your LES.
With the 8-week program, your diaphragm will be thicker and LES will be stronger than ever. With regular use, you’ll start to experience less and less frequency of acid reflux with greater intervals.
Conclusion
Multiple clinical trials have proven the concept behind the Zemaflux and is a great addition to your treatment of acid reflux. Not only Zemaflux will save you time and money from visits to your physiotherapist, but it will also give you relief from your acid reflux and improve your quality of life while decreasing the risks of complications that can arise due to acid reflux.
ZEMAFLUX Reflux Resistant Trainer is an amazing device that can help you with your acid reflux but keep in mind that this is not a substitute for your medications, do not stop or make changes to your medications without consulting your doctor. ZEMAFLUX Reflux Resistant Trainer offers additional therapy alongside your medications for GERD Natural Relief.
