Case Report on Gastric and Duodenal Ulcers and their Management through Ayurveda

Abstract

Gastric and duodenal ulcers are common gastrointestinal disorders characterized by mucosal erosions due to imbalance between gastric acid secretion and mucosal defense. Modern treatment involves proton pump inhibitors and antibiotics, but recurrence and side effects remain concerns. Ayurveda describes these conditions under Amlapitta and Parinamshoola, and emphasizes holistic management through herbal remedies, Panchakarma therapies, and lifestyle modifications. This case report presents a patient with gastric and duodenal ulcers managed effectively through Ayurvedic interventions.
