Review Of Conventional And Herbal Treatment For Peptic Ulcer Disease

Abstract

It is believed that 10 percent of the world's population suffers from peptic ulcer disease in one form or another. The existence of gastric juice pH as well as a reduction in mucosal defences are both factors that contribute to the formation of peptic ulcers. The infection caused by H. pylori and the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the two most important factors that influence mucosal resistance to injury. One of the most common issues affecting the digestive system is an ulcer in the stomach. For many patients, the current treatment strategy includes a significant amount of time spent on traditional Western medicine. In both human patients and animal models of stomach ulcers, herbal treatments have been found to be effective in healing the ulcers through a variety of different mechanisms. This study, which incorporates recent discoveries, provides an up-to-date analysis of the efficacy and safety of herbal medicines for the treatment of gastric ulcers, as well as the mechanisms by which these medicines act in both animals and people. In humans or animal models, a number of studies have demonstrated that herbal drugs can be just as effective as, or even better than, prescription treatments such as omeprazole or cimetidine in terms of their therapeutic value. Anti-oxidant qualities, a reduction in acid output, and inhibition of the H+/K+-ATPase enzyme activity are all natural treatments for stomach ulcers. Other natural cures for stomach ulcers include these. There are a number of different herbal treatments that also include antibacterial properties. People who suffer from stomach ulcers may find that treating the condition with herbal medicine is an effective treatment option that has few adverse effects.
