      <abstract>
        <p>Gastro- oesophageal reflux (GOR) is defined as backward flow of gastric contents into the 
oesophagus. A small amount of GOR occurs in normal individuals; the term GORD (gastro- oesophageal 
reflux disease) includes all the symptoms and forms of tissue damage secondary to the reflux of gastric 
contents into the oesophagus. 
Homoeopathic medicines are known for curative effect, by prevention of further complication by treating 
with homoeopathic medicines and doing necessary interventions 
Method- we carried out randomized control trial for the cases of Gastro Oesophageal Reflux disease for 
30 cases. Natrum phos. along with homoeopathic medicine in experimental group and homoeopathic 
medicine control group. 
Conclusion- In qualitative study Natrum phos. is having good potential in cases of GORD but 
quantitative aspect of our study reflects Homoeopathic Medicine alone has good scope.</p>
