  medicines are used for the treatment of
  gastritis, but their prolonged use can lead to
  problems like weak bones, constipation, vomiting.
  Antibiotics are used to kill h. Pylori bacteria,

  preferred in complicated cases of gastritis like
  pus or mucous filled infections in stomach and
  intestines.Ayurvedic and herbal therapies In
  Ayurveda, gastritis is known as urdhavaga
  amalapitta. It is caused in people who have pitta
  dosha, which means disturbance in the digestion
  of food leading to indigestion. When the pitta
  dosha gets increased in such people, there are
  greater chances of getting gastritis. Ayurvedic
  preparations like dhaatriloha, sukumaraghrita,
  sootashekhara rasa, kaamadudha rasa, leela vilas
  rasa, chandrakala rasa, amalakichoorna,
  triphalachoornaand amalapittantaka rasa are
  beneficial in gastritis. If there is constipation
  along with gastritis, then avipattikarachoorna is
  taken as the medicine of choice.
