Ginger for gastritis and acidity
Gastritis affects 50% of the world's population. Heartburn, epigastric pain, nausea. Helicobacter pylori, NSAIDs, stress, alcohol - the aggressions are numerous.
Gastroprotective mechanisms
- Gastric lining — ginger strengthens the gastric mucus barrier (gastroprotection)
- Anti-H. pylori — direct antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori
- NF-κB inhibition — reduces inflammation of the gastric mucosa
- Prostaglandins — increases protective gastric prostaglandins (unlike NSAIDs which reduce them)
- Anti-nausea — 5-HT3 antagonism for gastritis-related nausea
- Healing — accelerates the healing of gastric erosions
Difference from NSAIDs
NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin) CAUSE gastritis. Ginger has the anti-inflammatory effect WITHOUT gastric aggression — it PROTECTS the stomach while reducing inflammation.
