When dealing with stomach ulcers, Ayurveda offers several remedies that can be quite helpful. Yashtimadhu or licorice root is super popular for soothing the stomach. It’s pretty effective for long-term relief because it helps coat the stomach lining, reducing both inflammation and acidity. You can take it in different forms like tea, powder, or tablets, but as a tea, it might be easier on the stomach. Just boil a teaspoon of the powdered root in water, strain it, and enjoy it 2-3 times a day. You should be cautious if you have high blood pressure though, as Yashtimadhu can raise it sometimes.
Avipattikar Churna is another good choice. It doesn’t exactly work instantly for ulcers but over time, regular use can help balance the pitta dosha, reducing that burning sensation. Mix about half a teaspoon with warm water and take it before meals. Just be mindful—it’s quite cooling, and taking too much might cause dehydration or an imbalance if your body tends toward a cooler constitution.
Amla is fantastic too! With its high Vitamine C content, it encourages better digestion. You can take amla juice or powder. Mix the powder with water or honey, or take the juice directly in moderation daily. It’s pretty beneficial to take it on an empty stomach in the morning for better absorption.
As for medicated ghee, Shatadhouta Ghritha is known to promote healing in ulcers. Since it’s made with clarified butter, it’s mild on the stomach, and the multiple cow’s milk washings seem to make it even more effective. Take about half a teaspoon in the morning on an empty stomach.
From personal experiences, these remedies can work differently based on individual constitution and lifestyle. It’s always best to consult directly with an Ayurvedic practitioner before diving in. Everyone’s body reacts uniquely! How long? Well, you might start noticing changes in a few weeks if you stick to the regimen consistently. Also, don’t forget moderation in everything you try. And, if your symptoms are severe or worsening, it’s vital to seek immediate medical help.
