Top 5 Homeopathic Medicines for Gastritis

Gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach lining or the mucosa. The stomach is a hollow muscular organ located in the upper left quadrant of the abdomen lined with several layers of different tissues i.e. serosa, muscularis externa, sub mucosa and mucosa. Serosa is the outermost layer of the epithelial and connective tissue that is a part of the peritoneum. The next layer, or the muscularis externa, helps in churning, mixing the food, and propelling it towards the intestines by contracting and relaxing. The sub mucosa layer contains the blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves. The inner most layer or the mucosa is a soft, smooth surfaced layer that contains gastric glands and gastric pits. The gastric glands have various cells that produce mucus, an enzyme named pepsinogen, hydrochloric acid and the gastric intrinsic factor which helps in absorbing vitamin B12. The mucus protects the stomach tissue from being eaten away, damaged, or corroded by its digestive secretions. The hydrochloric acid kills microorganisms swallowed along with food and activates pepsinogen into pepsin to help in digesting proteins. Any factor that disrupts the protective mucus barrier of the stomach exposes the stomach tissue to harm by the strongly acidic stomach secretions. This results in the inflammation of the stomach lining or the mucosa and is called gastritis.
Homeopathic treatment gives remarkable results in cases of gastritis. Homeopathic medicines successfully reduce the inflammation of the stomach lining and manage the symptoms that arise subsequently. Symptoms of pain, burning, stomach fullness, nausea, vomiting are effectively relieved with these medicines. If started well in time, homeopathic treatment for gastritis is quite beneficial in preventing the development of sores and ulcers in the stomach lining as well. For gastritis cases mainstream medicine recommends antibiotics, antacids and medicines to reduce or block acid production. They give instant relief but can cause side effects with prolonged use, while homeopathy offers long term results and has zero side effects in gastritis cases.

Homeopathic treatment for gastritis is very helpful for both acute (short term) and chronic (long-standing) cases of gastritis. With well-prescribed homeopathic medicines, both types of cases recover completely. To obtain best results, proper treatment for the suggested time period under a homeopathic physician needs to be followed.
Homeopathic remedies help in decreasing inflammation of the stomach lining by treating the root cause behind it. This helps to fight the underlying cause of gastritis by boosting body’s natural self-healing mechanism. This way, it offers recovery in the most natural, harmless way.
In homeopathy, medicines for gastritis are selected for each case individually. Homeopathy never prescribes the same medicine in every case of gastritis based merely on diagnosis. Rather, it prescribes medicines based on the characteristic unique symptoms present in every individual case. After noting down all the symptoms in a case, a detailed case analysis is done by a homeopathic doctor as per fixed laws of homeopathy. These individualized well-selected medicines do wonders in treating gastritis cases.
To treat gastritis, homeopathy makes use of medicines prepared from naturally occurring substances used in highly diluted form. This ensures natural treatment with no side effects at all. Homeopathy is a great alternative natural treatment mode for gastritis cases that can be considered in persons of any age group.

Types of Gastritis
Gastritis may be acute or short-term and chronic or long-term in nature. It can also be nonerosive or erosive. In nonerosive gastritis, only the stomach lining is inflamed. In erosive gastritis, the mucus lining erodes, which leads to breaks, sores or ulcers in the stomach lining. Another form of gastritis is atrophic gastritis in which the gastric gland cells are destroyed due to long-term inflammation and replaced by intestinal and fibrous tissue. This leads to the impairment of the production of hydrochloric acid, pepsin, and gastric intrinsic factor. Atrophic gastritis is either the result of long-term Helicobacter pylori infection or is autoimmune in origin.

Causes
The primary causes of gastritis are infection with Helicobacter Pylori bacteria, excessive use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and high alcohol intake. Other predisposing factors for gastritis include stress, injuries, burns, smoking, and Crohn’s disease (autoimmune disorder that may cause inflammation in any part of gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus). A person suffering from autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto’s disease (autoimmune disorder affecting the thyroid gland) and Type 1 diabetes is also prone to gastritis. Chemotherapy and radiation used for cancer treatment also increase the risk of gastritis.

Symptoms of Gastritis
The signs and symptoms of gastritis include pain in the upper mid abdomen that may be burning, aching or gnawing in nature, fullness or distension of the stomach soon after eating, nausea, vomiting, belching, loss of appetite and anemia.

  15. Elizabeth Lejeune says:

    Dr. Sharma, I have been suffering with gastritis for 5 months, and am having attacks about 2 to 3 times a week on a bad week. The attacks start with nausea then stomach pain generally 4 hours after eating and will not ease until I have vomited repeatedly. I then feel drained, but better. I have given up coffee, sodas, spicy, greasy, beef, pork, gluten, wheat and dairy. Can’t tolerate yogurt. I’m basically down to chicken, potatoes, rice and chicken broth and gluten free, wheat free bread. But even then, I’m still having attacks and then having to go on a liquid diet for a day or so before I can tolerate any solid food. I’m drinking only anti inflammatory green tea with honey, apple juice and Evian water. Before this current period, I first began to have attacks after taking 200mg of Celebrex daily for ten months for back pain. These attacks were severe, but only occurring every couple of months. I also have had numerous autoimmune symptoms such as chronic fatigue, RA symptoms, severe seasonal allergies, a rash that will not go away, etc. but don’t test positive for Lupus, etc on any blood tests. I started a gluten free diet that cleared up most of these symptoms, but then the gastritis started. I was diagnosed with PMLE at 19. I am now 54. I currently do not have medical insurance and don’t know what to do. I took two separate courses of PPI’s, but the gastritis returned immediately after completing. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
