Some plants are anti-inflammatory and have a healing effect on the mucous membranes of the stomach. Between these:

Aloe vera : its juice protects the mucous membranes , because it forms a protective film that protects the stomach walls from irritants (which alter the functioning of the digestive system).

Mallow : thanks to the mucilage contained in flowers and leaves, mallow has an emollient and anti-inflammatory action . The mucilage covers the mucous membranes of the stomach and protects it from the gastric juices.

Licorice : the roots of this plant have digestive and protective properties for the mucous membranes of the digestive tract.

Food to avoid
Those suffering from gastritis should eliminate or at least not abuse certain foods that are triggers of the problem, such as carbonated drinks, tea, coffee , all packaged foods that are full of hydrogenated fats and additives.
