Gastritis is a condition that affects the lining of a person’s stomach, causing it to become inflamed. Some cases of gastritis can be treated at home with simple natural remedies.
There are many factors that can cause gastritis to relapse. These include:
- excessive alcohol consumption
- use of pain relievers for a long time
- Helicobacter pylori bacteria
- infections
- stress
Many people find that they can manage the symptoms with naturopathy treatments for gastritis.
THE EIGHT BEST HOME REMEDIES FOR GASTRITIS
Not all remedies will work for everyone, so a person may need to try several of these before finding the one that works best for them.
1. FOLLOW AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DIET
Gastritis refers to inflammation of the stomach lining, so eating a diet that helps minimize inflammation can provide relief over time. However, research has not shown conclusively that eating a certain diet causes or prevents gastritis.
By keeping a food diary, people can identify which foods trigger their symptoms. Then, they can start reducing their intake or avoiding certain foods altogether.
Foods that commonly contribute to inflammation are:
- processed foods
- gluten
- acidic foods
- dairy products
- sweet foods
- spicy foods
- alcohol
2. TAKE A GARLIC EXTRACT SUPPLEMENT
Research suggests that garlic extract can help reduce gastritis symptoms. Crushing raw garlic and eating it can also work well.
If a person does not like the taste of raw garlic, they can try mincing it and eating it with a tablespoon of peanut butter or wrapped in a dried date. The sweet taste of the peanut butter or date will help cover the garlic flavour.
3. TRY PROBIOTICS
Probiotics can help improve digestion and stimulate bowel movements. Probiotic supplements introduce good bacteria into the digestive tract. Eating foods that contain probiotics can also improve gastritis symptoms.
4. DRINK GREEN TEA WITH HONEY
One study showed that drinking green or black tea, at least once a week, could significantly reduce the prevalence bacteria in the digestive tract.
Honey can also be of benefit, as it contains antibacterial properties that help counteract infection. Some people believe that drinking only warm water can ease the stomach and help with digestion.
5. USE ESSENTIAL OILS
Essential oils that can have a positive effect on the digestive system include peppermint, ginger, and cloves. Essential oils should not be ingested and should always be diluted with carrier oil if applied to the skin. People may want to use the oils in a diffuser or consult with a doctor about how to use them carefully to help relieve gastritis.
6. EAT LIGHTER FOODS
Eating large meals with a lot of carbohydrates can put too much strain on a person’s digestive system and aggravate gastritis.
Eating small meals regularly throughout the day can help ease the digestive process and reduce gastritis symptoms.
7. AVOID SMOKING OR USING TOO MANY PAIN RELIEVERS
Smoking can damage the lining of a person’s stomach and also increases a person’s risk of developing stomach cancer.
Taking too many over-the-counter pain relievers, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, can also damage the stomach lining and make gastritis worse.
8. REDUCE STRESS
Stress can lead to bouts of gastritis, so reducing stress levels can be an effective way to help manage the condition.
Techniques for managing stress include:
- massage
- meditation
- yoga
- breathing exercises
