Daily Yoga Pose May Help Soothe Acid Reflux

Acid reflux happens when stomach acid moves back up toward the food pipe and can cause heartburn.

A yoga practitioner named Shalu Chaudhary suggested a pose called Supta Baddha Konasana.

This pose is also known as Reclined Bound Angle Pose.

She showed the pose with slow, deep breathing.

She said doing it for five minutes each day may help people relax and feel relief.

She also advised avoiding sugar and junk food.

A doctor said lying down right after eating can make reflux more likely.

The doctor recommended waiting two to three hours after a meal before lying down.

People should ask a health professional before starting a new routine.
