Gastritis And Natural Remedies: Its Possible Treatment?

Gastritis is an inflammation of the lining of the stomach. This mucosa is found on the inner walls of the stomach and has the function of secreting molecules and liquids to help the digestive process.

The causes of this disease are various. For example, the consumption of certain drugs, on all NSAIDs, have stomach alterations as a side effect. It can also be the result of a bacterial infection such as Helicobacter pylori . The abuse of toxic substances such as tobacco or alcohol, among others, are factors that favor the development of gastritis.

This disease may or may not produce symptoms. In the case in which it produces them, the patient may feel pain, nausea and vomiting, and heartburn. However, they are not the only ones and it varies from person to person.

Let’s see below a series of natural remedies that, according to popular beliefs, could be useful to complement the treatment indicated by the doctor.

1. Parsley drink for gastritis

Consuming parsley-based drinks could help you get relief from discomfort caused by gastritis. It is a remedy as old as it is simple that is worth putting into practice during those days when the discomfort is strongest, according to popular wisdom.

The Spanish Nutrition Foundation, parsley contains protein, fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, vitamin A, thiamine folates, flavonoids, myristicin and apiol. And due to its high water content, it is a diuretic food that can provide some relief in case of bloating and fluid retention.

To benefit from the properties of parsley, we recommend that you consume the following shake:

1. Make a smoothie with 150 grams of fresh parsley and a liter of water.
2. Once this mixture is made, allow it to sit for two hours.
3. After this time, strain the water and put it in a glass bottle, where it does not get the sun.
4. Drink this remedy throughout the day and at room temperature. 
5. Do not add sugar or sweeteners to this preparation.

2. Carrot and celery juice

Both carrots and celery, due to their water and fiber content, are said to have anti-inflammatory properties. They help reduce the burning of the stomach walls, as well as reduce the feeling of bloating and, in addition, provide some minerals and vitamins.

If you have ever suffered gastritis you surely remember the lack of appetite, the nausea and that feeling of weakness. This natural juice will act as a good restorative. To benefit from all its properties, follow these guidelines:

1. Take two carrots and two sticks of celery.
2. Clean them well and put them in the blender along with a glass of water (250 ml).
3. Get a very homogeneous juice and drink it at lunch or dinner.

4. Infusion of apple and chamomile

You may be surprised by this combination. However, the mixture of chamomile with a hint of apple is a remedy worth trying.

The apple infusion induces the relaxation of the stomach, calms the acidity and helps to deflate the stomach. Therefore, it can be a good remedy to combine with gastritis treatment.

To prepare this simple homemade treat, you need a raw apple, peeled and cut into small pieces. You should boil a glass of water in the kettle (250 ml). Once it has come to a boil, add the apple and a sachet of chamomile tea.

Allow it to come to a boil several times. We need the apple to cook for at least 20 minutes. Once this infusion is ready, allow it to rest and lower the temperature. Strain the contents and keep only the water. Drink it at room temperature once you wake up.
