Effective treatment of stomach ulcers for quick pain relief

Ulcers that develop in the stomach are called peptic ulcers or peptic ulcers. These ulcers are generally quite painful and the pain is felt immediately after eating something. It lasts about an hour to an hour and a half - this is the time it normally takes to digest food - and then it wears off. Due to stomach ulcers, the person is afraid to eat anything and there is a high chance of becoming malnourished.

There are two types of stomach ulcer problems in humans – acute and chronic ulcers. Acute stomach ulcers can occur suddenly in the digestive tract. Your pain is much more severe and is felt immediately when spicy or gaseous food is eaten. These types of ulcers usually cause nausea and vomiting. The other type of ulcer - chronic ulcer - is a long-term condition that cannot be easily treated. They cause persistent pain when any type of food is eaten. Burning is common and leads to nausea and vomiting.

Stomach ulcers are a digestive problem; Therefore, they are caused by pitta vitality. In particular, when the body's digestive fire, known as Agni, is faulty, stomach ulcers can occur. Ayurvedic treatment for stomach ulcers attempts to lower the agni by pacifying the pitta dosha.

(1) Useful herbs in the treatment of stomach ulcers

– Black nightshade (Solanum nigrum)

Black nightshade, commonly known as sunberry or miracle cherry, is effective in treating stomach ulcers. The raw juice of its leaves is given either separately or in conjunction with other useful juices.

– Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis)

The Indian gooseberry is known as Amalaki in Ayurvedic medicine. It is the richest source of vitamin C, i.e. ascorbic acid. Due to its high vitamin C content, Amalaki can absorb all excess acids from the stomach. It also has laxative properties that help cleanse the stomach. Amalaki is an important ingredient in Triphala choorna, which is taken for all types of digestive problems.

– Liquorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra)

Licorice is very effective in treating stomach ulcers. It relieves irritation of the inner lining of the stomach caused by excessive acids. The root is removed, dried and then soaked in water overnight. This is taken in an infusion with rice porridge. This is such an effective treatment that it is also used in conventional allopathic medicine.

(2) Dietary treatments for stomach ulcers

Since peptic ulcers are caused by Pitta vitiation, the intention of the diet should be to pacify the Pitta. In other words, the body's entire digestive system needs to be regulated and the toxins need to be flushed out.

One must follow the following dietary guidelines when stomach ulcers occur:-

– Eat easy-to-digest meals and maintain a consistent meal schedule. Don't eat at different times every day.

– Avoid spicy, sour and spicy foods that irritate the stomach.

– Old basmati rice is gentle on stomach ulcers, as are foods like milk, ghee and butter.

– Among fruits, oranges, raspberries, plums and melons are good.

– When it comes to vegetables, broccoli, asparagus, lettuce and alfalfa sprouts are beneficial.

(3) Ayurvedic treatments for stomach ulcers

Shatavari tablets are generally prescribed for stomach ulcers. These tablets have a better effect when taken in conjunction with Amalaki. Other medications prescribed for ulcers include Vajraksha powder and mineral-boosting preparations such as Amalapittantaka lauha and Dhatri lauha. The latter drugs are prescribed when the body experiences a loss of minerals due to digestive problems.

In cases of excruciating pain, Shankha Bhasma is prescribed as the drug of choice. This is the same Bhasma that is prescribed for intestinal ulcers. It is added to hot water in quantities of half a teaspoon in a cup of water. The dosage is twice or three times a day depending on the severity of the pain. If the pain still does not subside, the Mahashankha Bhasma, a more concentrated form of the Shankha Bhasma, is given.

(4) Home remedies for stomach ulcers

– Cut some fresh amalaki and remove their seeds. Dry them by heating them on an open iron pan. Use a low fire so black soot forms and the amalaki turns into black charcoal. You cannot crush it into a powder. Mix this powder with some sugar and psyllium husk. Store this mixture in a jar. This mixture must be taken in doses of one teaspoon three times a day. This mixture reduces the acidity of the stomach and helps heal the ulcer. It is also a laxative to flush out the toxic wastes from the stomach.

– Take some anise in the amount of one teaspoon. Add it to a cup of water

and cook. When it reaches boiling point, close the flame and keep it covered

for the night. In the morning, filter the mixture and take with honey. That is

A good medicine for reducing gas problems and indigestion associated with stomach ulcers.
