Ayurvedic assessment of balance and imbalance in gastritis. A quick review of gastritis shows why many imbalances could contribute to the condition. Therefore gaining true relief from gastritis will usually require a multi-factor, natural approach as is offered at The Raj. In erosive gastritis drugs, alcohol, infection and acute stress all can precipitate the condition. In most non-erosive gastritis conditions H. pylori is implicated as the primary cause.
Ayurvedic theory looks at infection as more of a host problem than a virus or bacteria condition.
H. pylori can often be found in people who suffer from no significant symptoms of gastritis. Symptoms occur when the gut becomes a conducive environment for H. pylori to colonize. According to Ayur-Veda it is often the buildup of toxins and impurities and blockage of proper circulation in the gut that creates the ground for mucosal irritation from both the toxins and H. pylori growth. These impurities come from improper food intake, poor digestion, poor metabolism and blocked elimination. Accumulation of stress also exacerbates the condition as does disruption of natural biological cycles through improper sleeping and eating patterns.
