Increasing the effectiveness of gastric herbal medicine

Acute gastritis (inflammation of the gastric mucosa) usually begins with food poisoning, poisoning, including alcohol, drugs, and chemicals. It manifests itself as severe pain in the stomach (3–5 days), dyspepsia, and poor general condition. Sometimes inflammation of the stomach can be combined with inflammation in the duodenum - gastroduodenitis. A feature of gastroduodenitis is that the pain is longer lasting (2-3 weeks).

For acute gastritis, it is recommended to fast on the 1st day, thin food in small quantities on the 2nd day, and a gentle diet for 1 month. For food poisoning, strong tea and flaxseed mucus are given as first aid. In case of poisoning with poor-quality products, a herbal collection is used:

Features of herbal medicine

According to gastroenterologists, almost all inhabitants of the globe suffer from temporary digestive disorders, regardless of age, gender and race. However, they do not have diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Abdominal pain, nausea, heartburn, and a feeling of fullness in the stomach are usually caused by eating fatty or “unusual” foods. If you complain about such symptoms, you should consult a doctor after vacations, holidays, or family celebrations.

Normalization of the gastrointestinal tract usually does not require taking enzymes, antacids and analgesics. Natural remedies - medicinal herbs - cope well with this task. They have a gentle effect on the body, gradually restoring the functioning of the intestines and stomach. They are used only to reduce the severity of symptoms.

Contraindications to herbal medicine include hypersensitivity, pregnancy, lactation, and age under 12 years.

Teas, infusions, decoctions, and herbal mixtures have no effect on the causes of the development of any disease. But the use of medicinal herbs to improve digestion can be an excellent prevention of gastritis, ulcerative lesions, colitis and gastroenteritis.

Herbs that improve digestion

Malfunctions of the gastrointestinal tract occur due to poor nutrition or impaired enzyme synthesis. A sedentary lifestyle, alcohol consumption, and daily stress have a negative impact on digestion. How can you help your stomach?

This helps to get rid of the extremely uncomfortable feeling of abdominal distension, as well as belching and constipation.

A pinch of dry marjoram is added when brewing regular black or green tea. They are sprinkled on ready-made dishes and simply chewed while eating. Because of its fat-burning properties, those who are overweight should definitely include marjoram in their diet.

In our country, sage is used to ward off colds and treat bronchitis and sore throats. The plant helps strengthen the immune system and clear the airways of thick mucus. But residents of European countries, when asked what tea to drink to improve digestion, will always answer - with sage. It is characterized by a peculiar slight bitterness due to the high concentration of essential oil. It helps ease the passage of gases, eliminate intestinal spasms and gastric disorders, relieves inflammation and strengthens local defenses, and destroys Helicobacter Pylori.

Diseases of the pancreas are dangerous because they can cause necrosis or scarring of tissue, as a result of which the functioning of the entire body deteriorates. Symptoms of such pathologies include pain in the hypochondrium, heaviness in the abdomen, bloating and constant nausea.

For pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is accompanied by increased production of enzymes, due to which the organ begins to digest its own tissues. To treat pathology, birch leaves, flaxseed, and golden mustache are used.

Flax-seed. Pour a glass of boiling water over a tablespoon of flaxseed and leave until the seeds swell. You should drink the infusion throughout the day and eat the rest.
Golden mustache. Take 3 leaves of the plant, add a liter of water and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Close the lid, leave for 8 hours, strain and drink a glass 3-4 times a day.

Thyme is perhaps the most fragrant plant growing in our country. Many people know it as thyme. It has been established that most of the medicinal properties of thyme are determined by thymol, carvacrol, bitters, gums, and organic pigments. An infusion prepared on its basis has a powerful antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effect, so it will be useful for people suffering from mild stomach pain after eating fatty foods.

Due to its antiseptic and antimicrobial effects, chamomile is used for prophylactic purposes - to prevent the development of Helicobacter pylori infection. It is no less useful for the intestines.

Some digestive disorders are associated with a gradual decrease in the population of bifidobacteria. Taking chamomile infusion stimulates their growth and active reproduction, restoring the optimal balance of microflora.

To prepare the drink 1 tsp. dry plant material is poured with a glass of boiling water and left for half an hour. Take half a glass after meals until you feel better.

Herbal infusions

Pharmacies sell a variety of herbal teas to improve digestion. But all of them are intended primarily for the complex treatment of diseases and have a number of contraindications.

For rare problems with the gastrointestinal tract, it is better to prepare a healthy herbal mixture yourself, and then brew fragrant tea:

When is the best time to consult a specialist?

Pathologies of the digestive tract should be treated only after an accurate diagnosis has been made. Some diseases have common symptoms, so it is impossible to determine the problem on your own. Additionally, herbs should not be taken in the following situations:

for acute symptoms, including severe pain, frequent vomiting and diarrhea, especially with blood; during pregnancy and lactation;
in the presence of severe chronic diseases - cardiovascular disorders, renal and hepatic dysfunctions, central nervous system disorders.

Self-medication can seriously harm the patient’s condition, so before using traditional recipes you should consult a specialist.

Buckthorn.
Senna.

With increased acidity

With increased production of hydrochloric acid, patients experience discomfort in the stomach, heartburn and frequent belching. These symptoms can be relieved with calendula decoction, aloe juice, and cinquefoil infusions.

Aloe. Squeeze the juice from the fleshy leaves of old (at least 3 years old) aloe and take 2 teaspoons before meals. The product must be fresh, so you cannot prepare it for future use.
Bloodroot. Take 50 g of cinquefoil roots, pour in 0.5 liters of good vodka, leave for 3 weeks in a dark place. Drink 20 drops before each meal, dissolving them in water.

Herbs that are used for excessive hydrochloric acid production should not be taken for low acidity.

sea buckthorn, which helps protect the gastric mucosa;
Prince of Siberia, relieving heaviness and cramps after eating;
six-petalled clematis, which helps stop fermentation processes;
Adams rhododendron, which increases the production of gastric juice;
black pepper, which accelerates the breakdown of food.

Scientists are studying their chemical composition to find out which organic compounds are especially beneficial for organs involved in digestion. It is quite possible that new, effective herbal preparations and herbal remedies will soon appear on pharmacy shelves.

Recommendations for use

To effectively treat diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, it is necessary to comply with certain treatment conditions. Herbs for treating the stomach are used in the form of decoctions and infusions, and when taking it, it is important to strictly follow the dosage. Treatment begins with a minimum dose, after which it is gradually increased.

Recipes using medicinal herbs are natural remedies, but therapy must be approached responsibly. They have contraindications and side effects that should be considered before treatment.

Therapy must be combined with proper nutrition - exclude fried, fatty and spicy foods, alcohol, carbonated drinks and other foods that worsen the gastrointestinal tract from the diet.
