What is pyrosis and what are some natural treatments for pyrosis?

Pyrosis means a burning sensation in the upper part of the abdomen and/or lower part of the chest. Because acid reflux is by far the most common cause, it is more commonly known as heartburn. Living a healthy lifestyle may be the best thing you can do to tame pyrosis. This includes maintaining a healthy body weight; not smoking; getting 30 minutes daily of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity; limiting coffee, tea, or soda to no more than 2 cups per day; and eating a healthy diet. Each one of these factors may prevent the inappropriate relaxation of the sphincter muscle between the stomach and the esophagus, helping to keep acid from refluxing up and causing heartburn.
