Treatment of atrophic gastritis with folk remedies

With atrophic gastritis, the cells of the walls of the stomach cease to fulfill their function, that is, to develop a secret that is a component of gastric juice. Initially, the glands are transformed and synthesize mucus, which is unable to help digestion, and then completely lose the ability to secretion.

Focal atrophic gastritis affects some areas of the mucosa, their "inaction" is compensated by a healthy tissue. The antral develops in a place where the stomach passes into the duodenum and then spreads throughout the entire organ.

Cells that have undergone an atrophic process can no longer be restored. But the patient must undergo therapy to prevent the development of the disease.
