Description
Summary:Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a common gastro-intestinal ailment characterised by the formation of ulcers in the stomach or duodenum. It is frequently caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, overuse of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs), and stress. Despite the availability of conventional treatments such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and antibiotics, PUD is a recurring illness, necessitating the investigation of new therapeutic options. This review focusses on the role of homoeopathy in the treatment of peptic ulcer disease. Individualised to each patient's symptoms and constitutional characteristics, homoeopathic therapies seek to treat the underlying causes of PUD, encourage recovery, and stop recurrence. The review also addresses how homoeopathic treatments can supplement conventional therapy, promote healing, and improve overall patient outcomes.
