Does any one know of any natural methods to strenghthen the esophegial muscle that is causing GERD ?

If understand right the muscle is weak, opening when it should not (mine is at night, or any time I fall asleep). With that in mind I do not want to inhibit stomach acid as the meds. Doctors describe do...this would cause even more problems it would seem....I want to know if there is a way to strenghthen involuntary muscles. thanks Kathy
