hellooo Muskanpreet,
I understand how frustrating this must feel for you. Having stomach ulcers for more than 2 years, taking lots of medicines without much relief, and feeling weak from antacids can make day-to-day life very uncomfortable. Let me explain simply what is happening and how Ayurveda can help.
Your stomach has been irritated for a long time. Because of that, the acid–mucus balance is disturbed. Antacids may give temporary relief, but long-term use weakens digestion and makes you feel heavy and weak. The constant fullness after meals means your digestive fire (agni) is not working well, so food is not breaking down properly.
Stepwise Ayurvedic Plan
1. First stage – Settle the irritation (7–10 days) Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with warm water, twice daily after meals (reduces burning, balances acid). Kamadhudha Ras (Plain) – 1 tablet twice daily with honey (soothes ulcers). Take Jeera water or dhaniya water instead of plain water (mild, calming for stomach).
2. From Day 10 onwards (to strengthen digestion & heal ulcers) Sukumara Ghrita – 1 tsp early morning with lukewarm water (heals ulcer lining, strengthens gut). Dadimashtaka Churna – ½ tsp before food with warm water (reduces heaviness and fullness). Shankha Vati – 1 tablet after meals if you feel bloated (helps digestion).
3. External simple home advice Sip warm water through the day, avoid cold water and fridge foods. Small frequent meals – do not overload stomach. Avoid sour foods, spicy fried items, excess tea/coffee. Include banana, pomegranate, ash gourd, tender coconut water, and soft cooked rice.
4. Investigations to be safe Endoscopy (if not done in past 1 year). Hb% (check for anemia due to ulcers). H. pylori test (if not already checked).
Don’t lose hope – your stomach can heal, but it needs a gentle approach. Instead of just suppressing acid, Ayurveda works on calming your stomach lining and strengthening digestion. It may take a few months, but slowly you’ll notice less burning, better appetite, and lighter stomach after meals. You are still very young – your body has good healing capacity. Trust the process, stay calm, and take medicines regularly.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO MUSKANPREET,
Peptic ulcers means there are wounds (sores) in the lining of your stomach or small intestines. In Ayurveda, this is often seen as pitta imbalance- excess heat and acid “burning” the stomach lining. Over time this weakens digestion and causes symptoms like -burning, pain or heaviness after food -feeling full quickly -nausea, sometimes vomiting -weakness (partly due to overuse of antacids, which disturb nutrient absorption)
So the main goals are -cool down and pacify pitta reduce heat and acid -heal the ulcerated lining promote protective mucus -strengthen digestion gently, without irrittion -prevent recurrence by lifestyle, diet and stress management
PHASE WISE TREATMENT APPROACH
PHASE 1= PCIFICATION AND SYMPTOMS RELIEF Goal= reduce burning, pain and excess acidity
-YASHTIMADHU CHURNA= 2gm with lukewarm milk twice daily =coats the stomach, heals ulcers
-SHATAVARI CHURNA= 1 tsp with milk twice daily =cooling, nourishing
-AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm water before meals =balances pitta, relieves acidity
-KAMDUDHA RAS (with mukta)= 1 tab twice daily after meals =specifically for ulcer/burning
-GHEE= 1 tsp plain cow’s ghee morning and evening =lubricates and heals lining
EXTERNAL SUPPORT
-OIL MASSAGE= with cooling oil like Chandana bala lakshadi taila =reduces stress and balances pitta
DURATION= 4-6 weeks
PHASE 2= REBUILDING AND STRENGTHENING Goal=once pain/ burning reduce, focus on rebuilding digestion and energy stat after phase 1
-AMALAKI RASAYANA= 1 tsp in morning =strengthens mucosa, rich in antioxidants
-GUDUCHI GHAN VATI= 2 tabs twice daily =balances pitta and boosts immunity
-TRIPHALA = 1/2 tsp with warm water at bedtime =supports digestion, detox gently
DIET -more nourishing foods like khichdi, milk with ghee, soaked almonds, pumpkin, coconut water -avoid raw, heavy or very spicy items
DURATION= 6-8 weeks
PHASE 3=PREVENTIVE AND LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENT Goal= prevent recurrence of ulcers
LIFESTYLE CHANGES -avoid very late nights, stress eating, and irregular meals -do not suppress natural urges like hunger or thirst -no smoking or alcohol
YOGA AND PRANAYAM
ASANAS -vajrasana -balasana -shavasana
PRANAYAM -sheetali and sheetkari -nadi sodhana -avoid Kapalbhati
MEDITATION -10-15 min daily for stress
HOME REMEDIES -drink ash gourd juice 1/2 glass morning, empty stomach = strongly healing for ulcers -mix 1 tsp ghee + 1 tsp honey - not heated just mix = coating and healing -chew 3-4 soaked almonds daily -drink coconut water mid-morning
Peptic ulcers healing in Ayurveda is not “one medicine for all” but a stepwise journey- first calming the fire, then rebuilding strength, and finally making lifestyle your long term shield . with consistent care, many patients report relief and reduce dependence on antacids

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELFPUL

Peptic ulcers can be quite bothersome, especially with persistent discomfort. In Ayurveda, the focus is on balancing the doshas and enhancing the digestive fire or agni. Given your symptoms, there might be a vitiation of Pitta dosha. Here are some ayurvedic recommendations to help address your condition.
Dietary Adjustments: Start by including cooling and soothing foods in your diet. Cooked, easily digestible meals like rice, mung dals, vegetables like squash, or zucchini can be beneficial. Avoid spicy, sour, or fried foods as they might aggravate pitta. Consume small, frequent meals rather than large ones to avoid overloading your stomach.
Herbal Support: Consider amalaki (Indian gooseberry), which is highly regarded for pacifying pitta and supporting the digestive system. A teaspoon of amalaki powder with warm water before meals might help calm the stomach lining. Licorice root tea can be another soothing option for your gastric tissues.
Lifestyle Modifications: Stress often exacerbates ulcers. Practices such as daily meditation or yoga could help in reducing stress levels. Aim for a routine that allows adequate rest and minimum exertion, nurturing your body back to strength.
Digestive Support: Strengthen your agni by sipping on warm ginger tea before meals. Ginger is known for promoting digestive capabilities without aggravating pitta.
However, given the duration and severity of your symptoms, I would strongly suggest that you continue following up with your healthcare provider. Peptic ulcers can sometimes lead to complications that require medical intervention, and it is crucial along with ayurvedic practices to ensure you’re receiving comprehensive care.
1) Cap Amlapittantaka- 1 tab - before food with milk 3 times
2) kamadugha rasa-250 mg before food 3 times with water
3) mahatiktaka ghrita-10 ml -1 hr after food 2 times with warm milk
Foods to Include (Pitta-Pacifying)
Grains: Barley, old rice, and wheat.
Vegetables: White pumpkin, bitter gourd, ash gourd, leafy greens, sweet potatoes, carrots, and broccoli.
Fruits: Sweet, non-acidic fruits like apples, bananas, pears, melons, pomegranates, and gooseberries (amla).
Dairy: Ghee (clarified butter), buttermilk, and milk (in moderation). Ghee is particularly valued for its lubricating and healing properties on the stomach lining.
Legumes: Mung beans, lentils, and chickpeas.
Fats: Healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil.
Spices: Mild spices like coriander, cumin, fennel, cinnamon, and turmeric are beneficial for digestion.
Foods to Avoid (Pitta-Aggravating)
Spicy and Sour Foods: Hot peppers, spicy sauces, and foods with a sour taste like citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, grapefruits), vinegar, and pickles.
Fried and Fatty Foods: These can be hard to digest and can aggravate the stomach lining.
Processed Foods: Limit or avoid junk foods, refined foods, and microwaved foods.
Beverages: Avoid coffee, black tea, alcohol, and carbonated drinks, as they can increase stomach acid production.
Untimely Eating: Avoid long gaps between meals, overeating, or eating late at night.
Other: Mint and peppermint can sometimes relax the esophageal sphincter, leading to acid reflux.
3. Stress Management and Lifestyle Stress and emotional factors are considered significant contributors to peptic ulcers in Ayurveda. A holistic treatment plan often includes stress-reducing practices.
Yoga and Pranayama: Practices like Nadi Shodhana Pranayama (alternate nostril breathing) and Sheetali Pranayama (cooling breath) can help calm the nervous system and reduce Pitta.
Meditation: Regular meditation can help manage stress, anxiety, and the emotional imbalances that can aggravate ulcers.
Adequate Sleep: Getting enough rest is crucial for the body’s natural healing processes.
Regular Routine: Maintaining a consistent daily routine (Dinacharya) for meals and sleep helps to regulate the body’s internal clock and digestive rhythm.
For someone with peptic ulcers and recurring discomfort, a Siddha-Ayurvedic approach focuses on balancing your doshas, especially pacifying pitta, supporting agni (digestive fire), and healing the digestive lining. A few suggestions from an Ayurvedic perspective might be beneficial.
Firstly, incorporate a diet that cools and soothes the digestive tract. Avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods, as these can aggravate pitta. Include cooling foods like cucumber, melons, coconut water, and leafy greens. Make sure meals are regular, smaller in size, and easily digestible – such as kitchari or lightly seasoned vegetable porridges.
Herbal remedies can support healing. Slippery elm and licorice might help soothe and repair the stomach lining. Mix one teaspoon of organic slippery elm powder in a cup of lukewarm water and take before meals. Licorice can be chewed or taken as a decoction; however, use in moderation especially if dealing with high blood pressure.
It’s essential to enhance your agni without aggravating pitta. Chew on a small amount of fresh ginger before meals, or sip ginger tea between meals to kindle digestion. Avoid cold beverages, including iced drinks, as these can douse the digestive fire.
Address stress and emotional well-being, as these may affect ulcers. Incorporate daily yoga, gentle breathing exercises like pranayama, or meditation to calm the mind and body. Ensure ample rest and a regular sleep pattern to help the body heal.
If symptoms persist or worsen, or if there’s a significant change in your condition, consult a healthcare provider promptly. Occasional medical evaluation is crucial to monitor steps towards healing.
As with any therapeutic intervention, consistency is key. Tailoring these practices to your lifestyle may gradually help rebalance your body, gently addressing the root imbalance.
