VIDEO: TH+ Expert Webinar with consulting medical herbalist Anita Ralph on Reflux
The festive season is known for rich foods, good wines and plenty of socialising. While the run-up to Christmas might be a little different this year, one thing’s bound to be the same: acid reflux. All that heavy grub and booze can play havoc on our digestive systems at the best of time - let alone those of us with GERD.
But there are things we can do to limit the reflux flames. We hosted a webinar on the subject with the fantastic consulting medical herbalist Anita Ralph and she explains how we can self-manage reflux issues and tips for surviving the festive season.
In this webinar, we cover:

Heartburn is a really common issue, affecting up to 25% of UK adults. Dyspepsia (the collective term for upper gastrointestinal issues like heartburn, reflux, nausea and vomiting) affects up to 41% of the population and accounts for 4% of all GP appointments. It sounds like a lot of us need help to soothe the burn!
