Peptic Ulcer Disease: A Comprehensive Review on Conventional Therapy and Herbal Treatment

Still today, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a major digestive illness that affects millions of people around the world every year. This study looks at both traditional and herbal ways of treating PUD, focusing on how they work, how well they work, and whether they can work together. Pharmaceuticals like antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and H2-receptor antagonists are common ways to treat the condition. In more serious cases, surgery may also be an option. The use of medical plants in phytotherapy, an herbal treatment, has shown promise in helping people with PUD deal with their symptoms and speed up the healing of ulcers. Citrus maxima (Pomelo), a plant in the Rutaceae family, may be able to help treat PUD because it has functional and antioxidant properties. In addition, studies on how well different plants treat PUD have shown that they have anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective qualities. Also, the parts of photosynthesis that plants use contain many beneficial substances that might help with the treatment of PUD. This all-around method would deal with many pathogenic pathways at the same time. More study needs to be done to learn more about how herbal therapies can be used to treat PUD and how they can be combined with other common treatments.
