Gastritis Treatment using Coconut:
Coconut water is an excellent remedy for gastritis. It gives the stomach the necessary rest and provides vitamins
and minerals. The stomach is greatly helped in returning to a normal condition if nothing but coconut water is
given during the first twenty-four hours.
Gastritis Treatment with Rice:
Rice gruel is another excellent remedy for acute cases of gastritis. One cup of rice gruel is recommended twice
daily. In chronic cases where the flow of gastric juice is meagre, such foods as require prolonged vigorous
mastication are beneficial as they induce a greater flow of gastric juice.
Gastritis Treatment with Marigold:
The herb marigold is also considered beneficial in the treatment of gastritis. An infusion of the herb in doses of a
tablespoon may be taken twice daily.
Gastritis Treatment with Potato:
Potato juice has been found valuable in relieving gastritis. The recommended dose is half a cup of the juice, two
or three times daily, half an hour before meals.
