Peptic Ulcers

Peptic ulcer disease refers to ulceration (sores) in the lining of the upper portion of the digestive tract such as the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, etc. Depending upon where these ulcers are located they are designated with various names such as gastric ulcers or duodenal ulcers. Our stomach normally produces an acid (hydrochloric acid/HCl), which is essential for the proper digestion of food. The digestive tract has some natural barriers to protect itself from the corrosive effects of acids.

Causes

If there is overproduction of acid or disruption of natural barriers, acid burns and corrodes the inner delicate lining of digestive tract. Factors ranging form emotional stress, certain food, infection with microorganism (H. Pylori), overuse of certain conventional anti-inflammatory medicines, smoking, all contribute towards over stimulation of acid. Usually patients with peptic ulcer disease have family history of ulcer indicating that some inborn or inherent tendencies make one prone for the condition.

Symptoms

Indigestion
Pain in the abdomen
Nausea and vomiting
Gastric Headaches

Manage

Avoid fried and spicy food

Have a stroll after meals for 15-20 minutes

Approaches

Peptic ulcer disease is a constitutional disease that finds its local expression at the level of the digestive system. Being a constitutional disorder, it calls for a constitutional approach towards treatment. The homeopathic approach towards the management of Peptic Ulcer Disease is constitutional and involves evaluation of the individual factors inclusive of one's personal and family history (ascertaining the genetic tendency), while planning a long-term treatment. The homeopathic approach to Peptic Ulcer Disease treatment is a totalistic approach meaning treating the individual who is diseased rather than merely treating local diseased body parts. Homeopathy is very strongly suggested for Peptic Ulcer Disease.
