Herbal Remedies for Relief
When managing stomach ulcers, exploring herbal remedies can provide additional relief alongside dietary changes. Natural options like chamomile, ginger, and licorice root may soothe inflammation and promote healing. Here’s a quick overview of some herbal remedies you can consider:
| Herbal Remedy | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Chamomile | Reduces inflammation |
| Ginger | Eases nausea and pain |
| Licorice Root | Promotes mucous production |
| Marshmallow | Soothes digestive tract |
| Turmeric | Anti-inflammatory effects |
Over-the-Counter Medications
While herbal remedies can offer relief, over-the-counter (OTC) medications also play a crucial role in managing stomach ulcers.
Antacids, like Tums or Rolaids, neutralize stomach acid, providing quick relief.
H2 blockers, such as ranitidine, reduce acid production, while proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole, block acid secretion entirely.
These options can help alleviate your symptoms and promote healing effectively.
