Ayurveda offers a range of customized herbal medicines, diet and lifestyle recommendations and home remedies to address all Gastritis related issues effectively.

What is Gastritis?

Gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach’s inner lining, which can occur as acute or chronic inflammation. Acute gastritis impacts about 8 out of every 1,000 people, while chronic, long-term gastritis affects approximately 2 out of 10,000 people. Gastritis can arise from various factors, including regular use of pain relievers, infections caused by bacteria or viruses, stress, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, caffeine, spicy foods, etc.

According to Ayurveda, gastroenteritis is called “URDHVANGA AMLAPITTA.“ It occurs due to the aggravation of pitta dosha and an imbalance in the digestive fire, known as Agni, which governs the digestion and assimilation of food. When Agni is weakened or disturbed, it can lead to the accumulation of toxins (ama) in the gastrointestinal tract, causing inflammation and digestive disturbances. Ayurvedic treatment for gastritis plays a significant role in addressing these imbalances and promoting overall digestive health.

What Are The Symptoms Of Gastritis?

Gastritis may not cause any noticeable symptoms. If it does, it may mean that it’s more severe or that it’s been going on for a long time. The symptoms of gastritis differ depending on the cause, but some common ones include:

Abdominal pain (gripping or gnawing pain)
Burning in the stomach between meals or at night
Nausea
Vomiting
Bloating, burping, or belching
Indigestion
Lack of appetite
