Gastritis & Homeopathic Treatment

Gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach lining, leading to discomfort, pain, and digestive issues. It can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) and is often caused by infections, irritants, or autoimmune conditions.

Causes & Risk Factors

• H. pylori infection – A bacterial infection weakening the stomach lining.

• Excessive NSAID use – Long-term use of aspirin or ibuprofen.

• Alcohol & smoking – Irritates and damages the stomach lining.

• Spicy, acidic, or junk foods – Trigger inflammation and acidity.

• Stress & anxiety – Increase stomach acid production.

• Autoimmune conditions – The body attacks stomach cells, leading to chronic gastritis.

Symptoms of Gastritis

• Burning pain in the stomach (especially after eating).

• Bloating, nausea, and vomiting.

• Loss of appetite and unintentional weight loss.
