However, let's make it clear right away - if you have ever had an allergic reaction to honey, this method of treatment is not suitable for you under any circumstances!!! Otherwise, the consequences may be absolutely unpredictable.
What is gastritis?
The very concept of “gastritis” is familiar to everyone.However, does everyone really know what this gastritis is? Under the influence of various aggressive factors, the mucous membrane lining the stomach gradually begins to inflame, penetrating deeper and deeper. As a result, gastritis develops. And the severity of the disease depends on how extensive the inflammatory process is. Most often, the causes leading to the development of chronic gastritis are factors such as:
- Irregular eating schedule
What does nutrition usually look like?modern man? That's right, snacks during the day and a big dinner before bed. It's no surprise that the stomach will sooner or later rebel and respond as it should - with gastritis.
- Bad habits
In some cases, the cause of the development of inflammationprocess of the gastric mucosa is the abuse of alcohol and cigarettes. In principle, there is nothing surprising in this - alcohol has a very negative effect on the mucosa. And the effect of nicotine is about the same. Moreover - when smoking, not only nicotine but also other combustion products enter the stomach along with saliva.
- Some foods
Fried potatoes with lard, marinatedcucumbers, smoked sausage, chips, nuts, coffee, carbonated drinks – delicious, isn’t it? However, for your stomach, such a menu is a real disaster. Systematic consumption of such products will sooner or later inevitably lead to the development of an inflammatory process. Therefore, try to reduce the consumption of such products to the possible minimum.
- Pharmacological preparations
Sometimes gastritis develops as a result of takingof certain medications. As a rule, doctors are aware of such side effects and warn about them. But you, in turn, should also be careful - if you feel pain in your stomach while taking this or that drug, be sure to tell your doctor about it.
Treatment of gastritis with honey
Honey is a very valuable gift of nature. It contains a huge number of various nutrients and substances that have a beneficial effect on human health:
- Various fruit acids, amino acids, which are vital to man.
- Vitamins A, K, C, vitamins of group B, vitamin E, necessary for the processes of regeneration in the body of any living being, including humans.
- Many enzymes are necessary for a normal digestive process.
- Substances that act similarly to antibacterial drugs.
Honey acts on the gastric mucosain the most favorable way, stimulates the motor and secretory function of the entire digestive tract. Normalization of gastric juice secretion occurs as a result of both the chemical effect of honey on the gastric mucosa and as a result of reflex irritation. Moreover, the use of honey leads not only to the normalization of gastric juice production, but also to the normalization of its acidity. For the first time, such a feature of honey was noticed by scientists who conducted experiments with dogs. It was then that it was possible to reliably establish that honey stimulates the production of gastric juice with an alkaline reaction. This means that just a few days after the start of honey consumption in a person with gastritis, the acidity level of the gastric juice is normalized. This feature is especially relevant for those people whose acidity is initially elevated. In addition, honey has a unique ability to stimulate tissue regeneration processes. But with gastritis, the mucous membrane, one way or another, is damaged. Due to this property, honey is irreplaceable not only for common gastritis, but also for erosive and even stomach ulcers. Scarring of mucous tissue occurs many times faster.
How correctly to apply honey?
Let's now try to figure out howhoney should be used for gastritis so that it can help cope with this disease. After all, in this case we use honey as a medicine, which means we need to follow a number of specific rules. And there are several methods of treatment.
- An aqueous solution of honey
In that case, the disease was just beginning to make its presence knownabout yourself, you can get by with a simple water solution of honey. Linden honey is best suited for these purposes. But if you don’t have it at hand, no problem, you can take any other. Preparing a water solution is easy - you just need to mix 150 g of honey in one liter of warm water. The entire volume must be divided into 4 doses. The first portion should be taken in the morning, on an empty stomach, and the last one - just before bed. The water must be heated before use - otherwise the effect of the application will be much lower. The course of treatment should last at least one month.
- Pure honey
This method, strictly speaking, isalmost a complete copy of the above. The only difference is that in this case the honey is eaten in its pure form and washed down with water. This method is well suited for those people who cannot drink large amounts of liquid. The scheme of use is the same - 4 times a day you need to eat one teaspoon of honey. The first portion - before breakfast, and the last - before bed. The course of treatment should last for a month.
- Honey and Aloe
This method of treatment is especially relevant in thatif a person suffers from erosive gastritis. To prepare the remedy, you will need 200 g of any natural honey and 200 g of aloe leaves. Please note that the plant should be at least five years old. Otherwise, the effectiveness of the remedy will decrease significantly. Aloe leaves must first be placed in the freezer for three days. After that, melt the honey in a water bath. While the honey is melting, pass the aloe leaves through a meat grinder. After the honey boils, add the aloe pulp and boil for about three minutes, stirring constantly. Place the resulting mixture in a glass container and cool. Store the remedy in a dry and cool place - for example, on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. The remedy retains its healing properties for two weeks, so do not prepare a large amount for future use. The medicinal mixture should be taken according to a simple scheme - in the morning, on an empty stomach, two spoons, before each meal - one spoon. And finally, before going to bed - two spoons again. The course of treatment should last at least three weeks. After that, if necessary, the course of treatment can be repeated after a week.
- Honey and milk
This product works wonders even withthe most advanced forms of the disease. But it is suitable only for those people who do not suffer from individual protein intolerance. The essence of the treatment is as follows. Every morning, on an empty stomach, the sick person should drink a glass of warm milk with honey. The solution should be made at the rate of two tablespoons of honey per glass of milk. If a person suffers from pain, milk with honey should be taken not only in the morning, but also throughout the day - in small sips, but often. In total, you need to drink at least one liter of such a milk-honey solution. The course of treatment should last three weeks.
- Honey and chamomile
There is another very effective remedy,which copes well with all types of gastritis. To prepare it, you will need one tablespoon of dried chamomile flowers, one hundred grams of any natural chalk and a liter of water. Melt the honey in a water bath and add the chamomile. Cover tightly and boil for 10 minutes. After that, dilute the honey in water - stir very thoroughly so that there is no sediment. After that, strain the honey solution with gauze and pour it into a glass container. The solution should also be stored in the refrigerator. It is taken as follows - in the morning, on an empty stomach, at least an hour before breakfast, the sick person should drink a glass of the solution. Then, during the day, you need to drink a third of a glass before each meal. In the evening, an hour before bed, you also need to drink a glass of the solution. The course of treatment should last at least two weeks.
- Honey as an "ambulance"
Gastritis can sometimes cause very strong,almost unbearable pain. And in this case, honey can significantly alleviate the condition of the sick person. To do this, you will need 100 g of sour cream, two tablespoons of any natural honey, one tablespoon of butter and one ampoule of novocaine, which is sold in any pharmacy, without a prescription. Honey and butter must be melted in a water bath, stirring constantly. Add novocaine to sour cream, then combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly again. The sick person should drink half of this remedy immediately, and the second half - after 15 minutes. Please note - if such an opportunity exists, it is worth lying down for at least one hour. As a rule, even the most severe pain goes away. However, do not forget that this remedy is only an emergency measure that can reduce pain. And you are unlikely to be able to cure gastritis in this way. As you can see, with the help of honey it is quite possible to get rid of gastritis. However, do not forget that such treatment can only be used as an auxiliary tool. In no case should you refuse to visit a doctor and the treatment that will be prescribed to you. Otherwise, you can only worsen the situation and start the disease. And, of course, do not forget that no treatment will be effective enough if you do not reconsider your lifestyle and diet.
