Stomach Ulcer Natural Ayurvedic Treatment

Author : Gurnam Saini  

Peptic Stomach Ulcer Natural Herbal Ayurvedic Treatment In Melbourne Australia

 

Peptic ulcer is an ulcer of the mucous membrane lining of the stomach. People with gastritis, acidity and heartburn are more prone to peptic ulcer. This disease affects 20% people with chronic gastritis.

 

 

 

 

 

Causes of Peptic Stomach Ulcer

 

 

Peptic ulcer is caused due to various reasons. No single cause can be held responsible for peptic ulcers. Main causes are discussed as follows:

 

 

  1. Excessive production of acid from gastrinomas corrodes the inner surface of esophagus, stomach or small intestine.
  2. A bacterial infection caused by Helicobacter pylori is responsible for the development of ulcers in stomach. This bacterium is a normal flora of the mucosal lining of the stomach that usually covers and protects the tissues present in the stomach lining and small intestine. It has the ability to cause inflammation of the inner layer of stomach leading to the production of ulcer.
  3. Certain pain relievers such as ibuprofen, ketoprofen, aspirin and naproxen can irritate or inflame the inner lining of the stomach and small intestine. Regular or frequent use of these medications may cause peptic ulcers.
  4. Prescription medications to treat osteoporosis such as bisphosphonates and supplements of potassium may lead to ulcers.

 

 

Symptoms of Peptic Stomach Ulcer

 

 

A peptic ulcer can be symptom-less at times. But if at all there is an onset of symptom, the commonly found symptoms are cited below:

 

 

  1. Nausea or vomiting
  2. Bloating
  3. A burning pain in the middle or upper portion of the stomach, usually between meals or at night.
  4. The stomach pain may disappear for a few days or weeks and retrieves again.
  5. Heartburn

 

 

Severe symptoms of peptic ulcer include the following:

 

 

  1. Blood vomiting having an appearance of either red or black in colour.
  2. Stool consisting of dark blood or black and tarry stool
  3. Drastic changes in appetite
  4. Abrupt and unexplained loss of weight
  5. Chronic pain in the middle as well as upper abdomen

 

 

Risk Factors of Peptic Ulcer

 

 

Some factors heighten the risk of developing an ulcer. Such factors include:

 

 

Family history

 

If peptic ulcer already persists in a family, there is a considerable risk for the other members of the family to develop it at a later point of time.

 

Excessive consumption of tobacco

 

If an individual affected with H. pylori consumes tobacco on a regular basis, it certainly does increase the chances of having peptic ulcers.

 

Daily consumption of alcohol

 

Regular alcohol intake erodes the mucosal lining of the stomach and increases the production of stomach acid leading to the development of peptic ulcers.

 

Age

 

People who are 50 years or older may be considered at risk of having peptic ulcers associated to the consumption of several pain relievers and osteoporosis related medications.

 

 

Complications of Peptic Stomach Ulcers 

 

 

As soon as the signs and symptoms direct towards peptic ulcer, one should get it diagnosed because if left undiagnosed and untreated, peptic ulcer can result in various complications, details of which are discussed below:

 

 

Internal bleeding

 

It manifests itself in one of the two ways- either slow blood loss (anemia) or rapid loss of blood that requires hospitalization or blood transfusion.

 

Production of scar tissue

 

Peptic ulcers may lead to the production of scar tissue that blocks the passage of food through the digestive tract making the patient feel full very quickly and vomit. This results in weight loss.

 

Peritonitis

 

Long-term sustenance of peptic ulcer perforates the wall of the stomach leading to a fatal abdominal disorder called peritonitis.

 

 

Peptic Ulcer in Ayurveda

 

 

According to the ancient Ayurveda, peptic ulcer is basically a disease that occurs due to an imbalance in the three doshas Vata, Pitta and Kapha. In all the cases, an aggravation of pitta is noted.

 

 

In the language of Ayurveda, stomach ulcer is known as annadravshool, annadrava meaning assimilated food and shool meaning pain. On the other hand, duodenal ulcer is known as parinaamshool, parinaam referring to post-digestive fluid and shool meaning pain.

  • I have been suffering from IBS for quite a few years. My last resort was to see the doctor in Pure Herbal Ayurveda Clinic. Dr. Saini has helped me get my gut back to a itself. I am able to eat Gluten now and my gut issues have reduced quite a lot. I have more energy now.

  • 3+ years ago just before covid hit, I had sudden intolerance to a string of food predominantly gluten, cow's milk, egg and night shade vegetables. Energy was low and brain was foggy. I consulted and tried other treatments but minimal improvement. I was recommended to Drs Saini and Pooja by a friend who came out of her issues after ayurvedic treatments. Without hesitation, i consulted and started my ayurvedic journey 2+ years ago. It was the best decision I made. During those time, I had 2 sessions of panchakarma treatments. 2+ years later, I can now confidently say that I am able to incorporate gluten and cows milk products into my diet without any issue. My energy is back to normal and the other bonus for me is that unnecessary food cravings have diminished. I am very grateful and appreciated Drs Saini & Pooja's dedication and patient throughout my ayurvedic journey...

  • Highly recommend seeing Pooja for various womens health issues. Pooja offers long term alternative approaches to self managing one's health with the holistic ayurvedic system. Her manner and concern is sincere and she is very conscious of leaving you with the tools you need to take care of yourself beyond her consultations.

  • Hi everyone, here am sharing my experience with Dr Saini, i have been suffering with stiffness and pain in joints and muscles for years. I had taken so many treatments but nothing work for me. Recently I’ve been seeing Dr.Saini and in only one month of treatment my pain and stiffness gone. He has done fantastic job. I strongly recommend Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic👍🏻

  • Dearest Dr Gurnam, thank you many times over for your treatment I feel very balanced and cured. You have been kind, compassionate and very knowledgeable in what you do. I highly recommend Dr Gurnam and his work in Ayurveda.


    F.A.J Bakari

  • I strongly recommend Pure Herbal Ayurved Clinic to anyone who is looking into natural and organic health benefits. I consulted Ayurvedic Doctor Dr Gurnam Saini for hair loss treatment, as I had almost tried everything from expensive hair products to medicine for years and was highly disappointed. Dr Saini was very detailed and made me understand how lot of factors including my digestive fire, my sleep, my lifestyle etc. were directly impacting my hair health. I was highly impressed with his knowledge and his passion about getting me to understand the root cause. I clearly figured out how I was not in sync with my body. I am actually surprised that these organic ayurvedic medicines are very effective, as that was not my immediate expectation and I thought it will be a very lengthy process, but I was ready to give it a go! He also gave a me a specific ayurvedic organic hair oil to put on my scalp. It's been 3 months and I have almost completely stopped loosing hair and gaining more volume in my hair. I also found that taking shirodhara and nasya and head massage ayurvedic therapies of Dr Saini's recommendation was also important part of the treatment. I now feel more connected to my body and definitely my hair growth is visible to me and my family. Thank you Dr Gurnam Saini and Dr Pooja Saini (for those amazing therapies). You guys are working for a great cause.

  • Dr. Gurnam and Pooja both are very knowledgeable and friendly. Ayurvedic treatments provided in the clinic were very effective, specially panchkarma. Would highly recommend to anyone seeking for ayurvedic and natural treatments.


    Shitanshu Thakur

  • Hello all, I have been consulting Dr. Saini for past 2years or so and have found his treatment very helpful and effective. He has a deep knowledge of Aryuveda and listens to your health issues, doubts and concerns patiently and advices Aryuved herbs and gives advice accordingly. He is kind and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Dr. Saini to anyone who is looking for treatment for their health issues or improving their overall health.

  • I decided to take my 10 yr old daughter to Dr Saini after 9.5 yrs of struggling with eczema and food intolerances, and no solutions found but topical, long term use of cortisone creams. After only one month, we saw massive improvements in her skin, finally clearing up the majority of her eczema. This was done with herbal capsules and without needing to remove various foods from her diet. That improvement allowed us to tackle other health concerns like her consistent disturbed sleep. Now 4 months on, her skin is perfect, and her sleep is mostly uninterrupted. Any sporadic nighttime waking is for a very short period of time. And even better, now we can focus on her digestion which is my last concern for her. I can’t recommend Ayurvedic medicine enough to gently and naturally heal and balance out your body. l had done lots of reading on Ayurveda before we tried it, and all my expectations have been met and I’m sure will be exceeded in the near future. Thank you Dr Saini, for your kind and gentle consultations, and genuine interest in better health outcomes for your patients.
