Gastric ulcers
Gastric ulcers are open sores that develop on the inner lining of the stomach, often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the protective mucosal lining. These ulcers can result in symptoms like burning pain, indigestion, and bloating. They are frequently linked to Helicobacter pylori infection or the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Effective treatment strategies, including medication and lifestyle changes, are available to heal gastric ulcers and prevent their recurrence, while complications, such as bleeding or perforation, can be severe if left untreated.
Treatments
Vaman or Virchan
Virechanam is an essential Ayurvedic therapy focused on purgation or therapeutic laxation to cleanse the body of accumulated toxins, specifically from the stomach and intestines. The treatment involves the oral intake of natural purgative substances to induce controlled elimination, thereby promoting overall health and harmony in the body and mind.
Vasthi
Vasti, an Ayurvedic therapy, administers herbal decoctions rectally to address conditions like digestive issues, joint pain, and nervous disorders. It’s esteemed for detoxification, enhancing digestion, and overall well-being, but should be administered solely by a trained practitioner in a sterile, safe environment.
Mud pack
Mud bath is a spa treatment that involves immersing the body in warm mud or clay, typically mixed with water or other natural substances, to detoxify the body, promote relaxation, and improve skin health. This technique can help reduce inflammation, soothe sore muscles and joints, and provide a luxurious and rejuvenating experience.
Yoga & Meditation
Yoga, a millennia-old practice from India, integrates the physical, mental, and spiritual realms, emphasizing the mind-body-spirit connection. It incorporates physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation methods to enhance both physical and mental well-being, providing a holistic approach to health and wellness.
