Generally, the disease that often occurs in people of blood group O is inflammation of the mucous membranes (mucosa), stomach (gastritis) or gastric mucosa injury (gastric ulcer), which is known as peptic ulcer (ulcer pepticum).
In the circumstances there is pain ulcers in the gastric mucosa. Ulcers caused by unbalance of gastric acid-pepsin secretion and mucus (gastric mucosal gland product that serves as a stronghold for the mucosal lining of the stomach). Because the stomach is located in the upper abdominal cavity slightly to the left (solar plexus), the patients usually complain of pain in that part. The cause of this disease are substances that can inhibit gastric acid secretion. For example, histamine and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Work hard, mind tense, edgy, or lack of sleep also causes high levels of stomach acid. Often late for eating, drinking acidic drugs on an empty stomach, drinking alcohol, and excessive cigarette smoking can also cause this disease. Similarly, Helicobacter pylory bacterial infection that can invade submucosal layer of the stomach.
Based on the cause before, healing is done by neutralizing stomach acid, reduce gastric acid production, treating the infection on gastric mucous membrane, and reduces pain due to irritation of the mucous membrane of the stomach wall or muscle spasms. Especially for stomach pain due to infection of H. pylory, treated using antibiotics. To the patient is also encouraged to eat small amounts but often.
In addition to using pharmaceutical drugs, gastritis medication can also use medicinal plants.
