Gastritis is inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Judging by the statistics, this disease has no “age”; it affects not only adults, but also schoolchildren, even infants. Traditional medicine and folk remedies are used to treat the disease. Ivan tea for gastritis is an invaluable assistant in curing the disease. Thanks to its enveloping property, irritation of the gastric mucosa does not occur and the patient recovers.
School illness
Many of those who are still in school, not to mention adults, have a disease such as gastritis. Although in fact this is a general name for some diseases of the stomach associated with disorders of its mucous membrane. A condition such as gastritis can develop for several reasons - poor diet, exposure to irritating substances such as tobacco or alcohol, infection with bacteria, fungi or parasites, chronic stress, long-term use of medications that cause irritation of the gastric mucosa. Many people are diagnosed with gastritis during their school years. That is why it is sometimes called school disease.
Types of gastritis
Doctors divide gastritis into several types. They depend on the etiology of the disease and the location of the main pathology zone. Among ordinary people, we most often talk about gastritis with low or high acidity of the stomach, although this division is fundamentally incorrect. But the acidity of gastric secretion is one of the indicators of the health of this organ. A reduced content of hydrochloric acid is most often observed when infected with bacteria, in particular Helicobacter pylori, during the life of which hydrochloric acid is replaced by ammonia. An increased content of hydrochloric acid in gastric secretions is associated with dysfunction of the stomach, which in turn leads to irritation of the mucous membrane and its degenerative changes - gastritis.
Magic fireweed tea
Medicinal plants contain a huge amount of useful active substances that help in the treatment of various diseases. One of these blooming pantries is fireweed. The plant has such an interesting name due to the fact that it has been used by people since ancient times as tea. The correct name is fireweed. Many of those who suffer from disturbances in the functionality of the gastrointestinal tract ask the question: “Is it possible to drink fireweed tea for gastritis?” The answer to this should be given by the attending physician, who knows the history of the disease, its course, concomitant diseases and will be able to decide whether it is possible to use herbal preparations to treat a particular ailment.
Ivan tea grows in almost all regions of our country along forest edges, along roads, on embankments and forest clearings. It is used in the cuisine of some nationalities as a seasoning for soups and salads. Dried and ground roots serve as raw materials for making a drink and flour for dietary baking. Threads and fabrics are made from woody stems. Flowers and leaves of fireweed, as well as its roots, serve as medicinal raw materials. They are collected from mid-summer, from July, to mid-autumn, to October. The collected flowers and leaves are dried until withered for 24 hours, then rolled with the palms until the juice appears, again laid out in a thin layer, covered with a damp cloth and kept in this way for up to 10 hours. Fermented raw materials are dried in an oven at 1000 for 40 minutes. Dried herbs are stored in linen bags, a wooden box or a glass jar for no more than 2 years. The roots are dug up after flowering, in September-October. They are washed well in running water and dried at 700.
From dried fireweed according to all the rules, the so-called “Koporie tea” is prepared - an aromatic drink that has a lot of useful properties. You can buy dry fireweed in pharmacies. How to brew it to get a tasty and healthy drink? Like a regular brew - in a teapot, with boiling water, leaving for 5 minutes.
Preparation of a healing drink
Herbal tea is good either on its own or with the addition of raspberry, strawberry, mint, and blackcurrant leaves. Drinking tea with crushed rose hips has a good effect.
It is recommended to rinse the teapot with hot water before cooking. This is done in order to obtain a richer taste. Pour 2 tsp into the kettle. crushed dry fireweed tea, pour 500 ml of boiling water. You can first fill the kettle with water to 1/3 of its height, and after 5 minutes add water to the top.

Purified or spring water is best suited for making tea. The tea is infused for 10 minutes and drunk, enjoying its excellent taste.
When the brewed tea has already been drunk, you can add water to the top of the teapot and continue drinking it. You can brew up to 5 times.
They drink tea without sugar. This doesn't exactly appeal to those with a sweet tooth. But for this category of people, we can recommend drinking tea with halva, dates, raisins, dried apricots, and honey.

How to brew herb?
A useful plant is fireweed. How to brew it for medicinal purposes? For the treatment of gastritis with high acidity, this plant is perfect. After all, a decoction of fireweed has an enveloping property, reducing the aggressive effect of concentrated gastric secretions on the mucous membranes. Also, the infusion of the plant has an analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect, which is also useful for gastritis. The fireweed infusion is prepared as follows:

Fireweed and yarrow
Fireweed and yarrow for gastritis with high acidity are a universal way to overcome this problem. Yarrow contains chamazulene, a plant bactericidal, analgesic and anti-ulcer substance. Together with fireweed, this plant helps relieve pain from gastritis, colitis, and flatulence. Since yarrow has an active hemostatic property, it is recommended for use for gastritis and ulcers of the stomach and duodenum. It should be noted that this plant is special: in large quantities, decoctions or infusions from it turn into poison. Therefore, medicinal products based on yarrow should not be used by children, pregnant and lactating women. Due to the fact that this plant has the ability to increase blood clotting, it cannot be used to treat those who suffer from thrombosis or varicose veins. But if there are no contraindications, then a decoction of 2 parts fireweed and 1 part yarrow will help cope with gastritis with high acidity.
Tan
Ultraviolet radiation damages DNA and can lead to malignant degeneration of cells. This is one of the most significant risk factors for developing skin cancer and melanoma. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays should be avoided even by healthy people, and for cancer patients they are especially dangerous because many chemotherapy drugs and radiation therapy increase skin sensitivity. During treatment, it is important to follow these recommendations:
- Try not to be outside during peak solar activity (between 10.00 and 16.00).
- Cover your body with clothing as much as possible. But remember that overheating and dehydration are dangerous for cancer patients. Choose “breathable” fabrics: linen, bamboo, cotton.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat. This is especially important if you have lost hair as a result of chemotherapy.
- Try to stay in the shade.
- Do not sit for long periods near bodies of water. Water reflects the sun's rays.
- When going outside in hot weather, take a bottle of water.
- Use sunscreen.

This remedy is taken warm 2-3 times a day in the amount of 2 tablespoons.

Alexander's review of heartburn treatment with herbs
Listen to the audio review by Alexander Kuzovkin (a transcription of this review is given below):
Hello, my name is Alexander, I'm 24 years old. I work as a courier delivering pizza, sushi, and all kinds of products. I am studying part-time to become a physical education teacher at a pedagogical institute. The problems started relatively recently, about a year ago. Problems in the gastrointestinal tract, and in particular began to suffer from heartburn and indigestion.
Traditional treatment
Moreover, at first everything was not so scary, literally a slight burning sensation, but every day they intensified. After which a moment came when it was impossible to even breathe, stand or sit, and I did not understand what was happening, why and how to cure it.
I contacted various doctors, all the doctors prescribed certain pills, but as a rule they helped for a very short period of time, and then the heartburn returned. Because of this, it was very difficult to go to work, study and live in general.
At some point, I realized that doctors were not coping with their responsibilities, I began to look for other sources, I learned from my grandmother, from relatives, maybe someone knows how to deal with this. I was searching on the Internet.
Everywhere different sources spoke differently. Some said: you need to do this, drink this. Everywhere they tried to sell something, some kind of medicine, but after reading a lot of reviews, a lot of stories, I realized that it didn’t work.
Naturopathy
And one day I came across such a wonderful woman as Marva Ohanyan - an outstanding person who understands many aspects of life, including so-called naturopathy. I have read many of her books. In some I found information on general health, on curing many diseases, for what reasons various types of diseases appear, how to cope, how to treat lesions, how to be healthy.
In one of her books, I read many different recipes that help in the treatment of the gastrointestinal tract and even the treatment of arthritis, arthrosis and many other diseases.
Herbs for heartburn
In particular, I found two simple recipes for myself on how to cure my heartburn with herbs. The first recipe is, roughly speaking, fleeting , i.e. if you urgently need to tone yourself up, and you have heartburn or an attack. This recipe uses aloe. I think everyone has it on their balcony, their mother or grandmother grows it.
You need to take the bottom three leaves of a fairly old plant; they should be dry at the ends. Take one leaf and chop it. It is important not to grind in a meat grinder, because the beneficial properties will be lost and the leaf will begin to oxidize. You need to chop it with a knife, place it in gauze or any fabric and squeeze out the juice. After this, you stir 30 ml of juice with 150 ml of boiling water. Stir and drink in small sips.
This helps relieve heartburn for a short period of time, but it does not cure heartburn.
The second recipe is a course. It is made from plantain. Everyone knows what plantain is; everyone applied it to wounds in childhood.
The recipe is this: take a plantain, dry the leaves and seeds of the plantain. Take a pinch of the dried plant, pour boiling water over it, and you get one glass of boiling water per pinch. Let it brew for an hour and drink one sip at a time throughout the day. The course is about a month or two.
And after taking these medicinal herbs, the heartburn went away. These are my recommendations. Listen to yourself, Mother Nature, and everything will be fine.

Recommended foods for cancer
The body of a cancer patient struggles with a dangerous disease and experiences additional stress due to treatment. In order to restore resources in time, it needs a sufficient amount of proteins and other nutrients and calories. At the same time, the food should be healthy.
Foods with the highest protein and calorie content include: beans, chicken, meat, yogurt, fish, eggs. They are especially important for cancer patients who have lost a lot of weight or suffer from anorexia.
Some patients, on the contrary, are overweight and obese. They are advised to eat more vegetables and fruits, choose lean meat, limit as much as possible high-fat foods (butter, mayonnaise, desserts, fried foods), and salt.
For each oncology patient, the diet is selected individually. It is important to take into account not only the needs of the body, but also the person’s personal preferences - food should be tasty. Euroonko has its own restaurant and employs professional chefs.
