Evidence-Based Natural Remedies for H. pylori and Stomach Ulcers

Over half the human population is colonized by Helicobacter pylori (H pylori), a Gram-negative, microaerophilic bacterium. If untreated, infection is usually life-long and leads to chronic active disease. Although most infected people are asymptomatic, 5-10% of those infected with this bacterium develop severe gastroduodenal diseases, including gastric and duodenal ulcers, gastric lymphomas, and gastric adenocarcinomas. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4725184/#:~:text=Among%20th....

Antibiotic resistance against H. pylori is increasing, and it is necessary to find new effective agents.

Make sure you have a medical diagnosis and understand your treatment options before deciding on using natural remedies instead of a medication protocol. Research the foods, herbs, spices and products and how to use these effectively instead of taking a random amount in a random way! I recommend that you see a Clinical or Medical Herbalist for a protocol that suits your diagnosis, symptoms and preferences. Do you like to drink tea? Do you like turmeric and ginger in your smoothies? How much do you need to take daily for your choices to be effective? How long do you need to stick with the protocol before you can expect your symptoms to improve?

S. aromaticum could be a new useful natural antimicrobial agent that could potentially combat cytotoxin genes-producing drug-resistant H. pylori. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7365789/

Ginger Root https://www.anarreshealth.ca/ginger-root
ginger extracts and the gingerols inhibit the growth of 19 clinical strains of H. pylori in vitro, and the active fraction containing the gingerols and 6-shogoal was very effective in inhibiting the growth of H. pylori CagA+ strains. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3761965/

Turmeric https://www.anarreshealth.ca/turmeric-root
Curcumin is a diarylheptanoid, and it is the principal curcuminoid of the popular south Asian spice turmeric, which is a member of the Zingiberaceae family. Various in vitro and in vivo reports are available on the effectiveness of curcumin against H. pylori. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12553052/

Among the plants that killed H pylori, turmeric was the most efficient, followed by cumin, ginger, chilli, borage, black caraway, oregano and liquorice. Moreover, extracts of turmeric, borage and parsley were able to inhibit the adhesion of H pylori strains to the stomach sections.
