Gastric and intestinal ulcers

“I have constant pain in my upper abdomen.” “The pain is excruciating after having a meal.” “There is dark blood in my stool.”

This or a similar experience is what ulcer patients report with regard to their agonizing condition.

In the case of an ulcer, the mucous membrane has a defect in a defined area. The stomach acid then attacks the deeper mucous membrane layers, which can cause excruciating pain. Intensified pain after a meal is a sign of a stomach ulcer and the lessening of pain after a meal signifies a duodenal ulcer. In both cases, nausea or vomiting can occur.

It doesn’t matter whether the cause is excessive stomach acid, chronic inflammation, the influence of the helicobacter pylori bacteria or the result of a specific medicine.

What is the Vedic medicine point of view on peptic ulcers?

Metabolic residues develop continuously due to improper lifestyle. In the case of ulcers, toxins (in Ayurveda called “Ama”) accumulate in the stomach and duodenum. Those affected know that specific foods and stress as well as an unstable nervous system can serve as a trigger for the familiar symptoms.

In Ayurveda every patient is different and so each person’s peptic ulcer complaint varies. The Ayurvedic approach at our Centre is holistic.

Vedic medicine offers different methods of treatment. After an in-depth medical diagnosis at our Centre, a comprehensive treatment plan is individually tailored for each ulcer patient.

They recognize that healing must take place on all levels. In the case of ulcers, for example, an emphasis on elimination of toxins as well as balancing of the nervous system can be recommended. It is important to bring all natural regulatory principles back into harmony. Nutritional recommendations and helpful exercises, as well as specific herbal mixtures tailored according to your needs, support a health-conscious lifestyle. In this way, your natural self-healing abilities can re-establish the protective function of the mucous membrane barrier of the stomach.
