ABSTRACT
Peptic ulcer disease, also known as PUD or peptic ulcer disease, is an ulcer (defined as a mucosal erosion of at least 0.5 cm) in an area of the gastrointestinal tract that is often acidic and therefore extremely painful. Symptoms include abdominal pain, severe pain associated with meals, about 3 hours after eating; gas and bloating; nausea and severe vomiting; loss of appetite and weight loss etc. There are many herbs, nutrients and plant products that have been shown to play a role in protecting or healing stomach and stomach ulcers. Few human studies are available, but many have shown good potential in animal or in vitro studies. And the present study aimed to collect information about different herbs used for gastric ulcer treatment in different parts of the world depending on the data provided by different researchers.
