Gastritis is a common digestive condition that occurs when the lining of the stomach becomes inflamed or irritated. It can develop suddenly (acute gastritis) or gradually over time (chronic gastritis). Many people experience gastritis symptoms such as stomach pain, nausea, bloating, indigestion, or a burning sensation after meals.
Several factors, including Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, excessive use of pain-relieving medicines (NSAIDs), alcohol consumption, stress, and certain autoimmune conditions, can contribute to gastritis. If left untreated, chronic inflammation may increase the risk of stomach ulcers, bleeding, or vitamin deficiencies.
Along with conventional medical care, some individuals consider homeopathic treatment for gastritis as complementary supportive care to improve overall well-being and digestive health. At Dr. Rajeev Homeopathic Clinic, Dr. Rajeev offers individualized homeopathic consultations based on each patient's symptoms, lifestyle, and overall health.
What is Gastritis?
