Symptoms And Causes Of Gastritis
Gastritis refers to a condition in which the inner lining of the stomach gets inflamed and causes pain and discomfort in the abdomen. The patient may feel an acute burning sensation in the stomach periodically and suffer from exhaustion. Other symptoms include nausea, vomiting, headache, inadequate urination, bad breath and foul taste in the mouth, excessive salivation, heaviness in the stomach, especially after eating, dizziness, loss of appetite and frequent stomach upsets. The primary reason behind this condition is a faulty diet comprising of junk food that contains toxic substances which cause long-term damage to the digestive tract. Food cooked in adulterated oil or in unhygienic conditions may also cause gastritis. Excessive consumption of spicy foods, habitual overeating and eating at irregular timings are among the other major causes of gastritis. Excessive smoking and drinking may also aggravate the condition. Stress, anxiety, emotional turmoil and depression may also predispose a person to gastritis.
Home Treatment For Gastritis
You should follow a few basic dietary rules to treat gastritis naturally. If the condition is severe, you should observe a fast for a day and drink only water and juices of fruits like pineapples, apples, grapes and watermelons. This helps cleanse away toxins from the digestive tract. As a rule, stay away from pickles and foods containing condiments, artificially flavored and deep fried snacks, sweets, red meats, tea, coffee and alcohol, as they may irritate the inner walls of the stomach further and worsen the symptoms. Make sure that you drink at least 10 to 12 glasses of water every day. Include plenty of fresh fruits and raw vegetables in your diet. These are rich natural sources of essential minerals and vitamins, as well as of fibers, which aid digestion and detoxify the system. If you suffer from abdominal pain regularly after meals, you should drink a glass of raw coconut water just after eating. Drinking half a cup of raw potato juice just before meals is also useful for treating gastritis. In addition, practice yoga regularly to treat gastritis under the supervision of a trained practitioner. Uttanpadasana is particularly useful in this regard. It involves lying on a flat surface with the arms along the body, raising both the legs in the air to an angle of 30 degrees from the surface. Once in this position slowly then lower the left leg till the heel touches the ground while the right leg is still held in the air and then raise the left leg back. Repeat the process with the right leg and finally bring both legs down to the ground together.
