===Acute gastritis===
===Acute gastritis===
For acute gastritis, there are many causative factors including diet and personal habits like consumption of highly spiced food, excessive alcohol consumption, heavy smoking, infections like H. Pylori, viral hepatitis, drugs like NSAIDs, aspirin, chemotherapeutic agents, severe stress including emotional factors like anger, shock, resentment, trauma, surgery and excessive burn. Due to these stress factors and smoking habits, the tracheobronchial tree of the person becomes hypersensitive and there will be increased secretion of acetylcholine, catecholamines and histamine. This leads to hyper secretion of HCL from parietal cells due to hyper stimulation of vagus and increased secretion of gastrin. It makes the person more prone to acid peptic disorders.

It is better to take advantages of recent technologies for finding out the exact cause of the condition. If the conventional Ayurvedic treatment is not giving the desirable result, we should explore the other possibilities like H.pylori infection and treat accordingly.

*Improving the quality of digestive power ([[agni]] deepana)
*Mild purgation (mridu [[virechana]])
*Medicated enema containing milk (kshira [[basti]])
*The formulations like Guduchyadi Kashayam, Patoladi Kashayam, Avipattikara churna, combination of Narikela lavana and Yashti churna are effective medicines in this condition.
