Gastritis is acute or chronic inflammation of the stomach and is most often diffuse, mostly caused by Helicobacter pylori and bile reflux. It is the commonest disorder encountered in the clinical practice. Change in dietary habits – like having irregular meals, fast foods, addictions like smoking and alcohol also play major role. Although not life threatening as other major illness, the symptoms can be distressing and can cause discomfort to enjoy normal life and drain the mental and physical energy. If gastritis is not treated earlier the complications are grave like peptic ulcer, pyloric stenosis and subsequent perforation. Homoeopathy plays a major role in treating gastritis. Homeopathy is very effective in managing all the acute as well as chronic expressions of gastritis; it also plays an important role in prevention of relapse of the condition.
