In this recipe, we will explain how to prepare an infusion from a combination of herbs to alleviate the symptoms of gastritis. Why have these specific plants been included in the mixture, and what benefits do they provide for inflamed stomach mucosa?
• Chamomile: Treatment for gastritis is incomplete without this plant, as it heals the affected stomach mucosa. Firstly, chamomile is a potent anti-inflammatory agent. Secondly, it contains bisabolol, a unique substance that restores and strengthens the stomach mucosa.
• Yarrow: This component should be included in the mixture if gastritis is accompanied by spasms. Yarrow also reduces irritation of inflamed stomach membranes and has an antiseptic effect.
• Peppermint: The plant has a detrimental effect on pathogenic intestinal microflora, a potential cause of gastritis. Mint disinfects the stomach mucosa and reduces inflammation. Like yarrow, it acts as a spasmolytic and analgesic, alleviating pain associated with gastritis. Mint also has a calming effect on the nervous system, which is valuable if the patient is stressed due to discomfort and poor well-being (which can lead to gastritis exacerbation).
• Wormwood: The bitterness in the plant stimulates stomach receptors, enhancing the activity of digestive glands and the secretion of gastric juice, improving food digestion. Wormwood also soothes irritated mucous membranes and reduces inflammation.
• Sage: Like wormwood, sage enhances the secretion of gastric juice and improves digestion. Additionally, the plant has an effective antiseptic action.
Remember: herbs with healing properties are medicinal preparations. Therefore, before using this remedy according to the recipe, it is advisable to obtain the approval of a specialist and undergo examinations, if necessary, to determine the level of acidity in the stomach, the degree of disease exacerbation, etc. The doctor will advise whether this collection is suitable for you or prescribe a different combination, excluding or adding certain components.
