Herbal Remedies for Ulcer



The major causes of ulcer are dietetic indiscretion, like ingestion of heavy meals, addiction to alcohol and smoking. Food poisoning, infections like influenza, septicemia and toxins like uremia and gout are the other causes of gastritis and ulcers. The mucous membrane of the stomach gets congested and too much of acid gives rise to wounds or ulcers.

The symptoms of ulcer include dizziness, nausea, eructation and loss of appetite. Acidity goes on increasing leading to a burning sensation or even pain in the stomach which is relieved after ingestion of food. As the disease progresses there is distention of the stomach due to excessive flatulence, mental tension, bad temper, insomnia and gradual weakening of the body. Constipation also appears and sometimes the stools are tinged with blood.

Serious complications like hemorrhage, perforation and obstruction of the pylorus (the orifice through which food passes from the stomach to the intestine) also appears.
