I am a patient with reflux esophagitis and also an internist. I have suffered from reflux esophagitis for more than ten years, during which the condition has fluctuated in severity. I have taken various types of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, but the results were not very satisfactory. Every time the seasons change, the weather turns cold, or I eat acidic food, the burning pain and dry cracking pain under the sternum worsens.
