The digestive system is constantly in used, as food is needed for energy and repair of the body.
The oesophagus helps to breakdown the food that we eat every day. When food reaches its destination or the stomach, acid and pepsin is released to help in the process of digestion.

A common digestive problem that most people have neglected and encountered is the acid reflux or heartburn. At least, once in your life you might have felt this sour taste in your mouth and throat.

Acid reflux is a condition caused by acid liquid rising from the stomach into the oesophagus.
