Turmeric Is a Potentially Effective Natural Remedy Against Gastritis

(Newswire.net — October 10, 2017) Las Vegas, NV — For thousands of years, humans have been using natural remedies for fighting diseases and disorders. One of these natural remedies is turmeric, which is an ancient, medicinal spice.

Turmeric is a potentially effective natural remedy against gastritis. There are actually many pharmaceutical drugs available. However, for individuals who want to resort to natural remedies, turmeric may be an excellent option.

Inflammation, irritation, or erosion of the stomach lining can result to acute or chronic gastritis. These problems can take place due to excess alcohol consumption, stress, long-term use of anti-inflammatory drugs, and frequent vomiting.

Bacteria caled the helicobacter pylori can also cause infection in the stomach, pernicious anemia, bile reflux, and viral and bacterial infections. This condition is often diagnosed through tests and the appearance of symptoms.

Some of the symptoms are hiccups, chronic diarrhea, nausea, abdominal bloating, and indigestion. It can also cause signs like burning sensation in the stomach, vomiting blood, loss of appetite, and black stools.

According to experts, this condition must be treated immediately. If left untreated, it could cause ulcers as well as the risk of stomach cancer.

Turmeric is believed to be a safe remedy for gastritis. It contains curcumin, which is thought to be responsible for the healing effects of the spice. It has antiseptic, antiviral, antibiotic, anticarcinogenic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-tumor properties.

Curcumin is believed to be effective at reducing inflammatory enzyme levels as well as in improving digestion. It does so by supporting bile production by the gall bladder. Its antioxidants can protect the body against free radicals, which cause cell damage.

In Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, this ancient herb has been used in the treatment of gastritis as it can likely decrease stomach acids. It can also prevent inflammation in the intestinal walls.

Researchers tried to investigate the effects of curcumin on peptic ulcers and gastritis. In a 2001 study, it was found that this phytochemical could provide relief from gastritis symptoms within a couple of weeks.

In the study, there were 24 male participants and 21 females belonging to the 16-60 age bracket with peptic ulcers. The study lasted for 4 weeks and some of the participants were treated with curcumin.

According to researchers, ulcers disappeared after 4 weeks in 12 cases. There were also those who achieved relief from abdominal discomfort and pain and were able to consume normal food. One of the best things about the treatment is it did not cause side effects.

Individuals with gastritis may turn to curcumin supplementation for relief.
