Summary

Gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD) is due to gastric content reflux to esophagus cause symptom and complication including intra-esophagus such as reflux esophagitis, and extra-esophagus such as cough etc. Because the changes of dietary habit, and improvement of examination skill and data analysis, the prevalence of GERD increased 2.5 multiple from 1995 to 2002, and suggesting the prevalence is 25% in Taiwan community.

The etiology of GERD is multi-effect, such as transient lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and abnormal pressure of lower esophageal sphincter, which may induced the esophageal mucosal injury by gastric acid, bile or pancreases enzyme.

Wu-Chu-Yu tang consists of Evodia fargesii Dode (Evodia Fruit), Panax ginseng C.
