6. What is Gastritis?
• Gastritis is essentially an inflammation of the
stomach’s inner lining. The symptoms can range
from mild irritation in the abdomen that we can
easily ignore to severe pain that could be
indicative of perforations in the lining. The inner
lining of the stomach can get eroded away due to
a bacterial onslaught or anaemia, leading to
ulcers. In some acute cases, these may even lead
to cancer. But the picture is not nearly as gloomy.
If you don’t actively ignore the signs your body is
giving you about the battered stomach lining, you
should be able to combat the problem quite well.

7. Symptoms of Gastritis:
• The most common symptoms of a troubled
stomach and gastritis include:
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Tarry stools
• Incessant hiccups
• Abdominal pain and bloating
•

8. What Causes a Bad Case of Gastritis?
• Unhealthy eating habit is the biggest
culprit behind gastritis. Habits like
excessive smoking, drinking and
unchecked popping of pain killer pills can
also lead to gastritis. Instead of resorting
to over the counter medicines when
gastritis rears its ugly head, try these time
tested home remedies that can fight
gastritis effectively.

mg every day, twice a day for

or white crystals, and it tastes
a bit bitter at first. However,

releases a very fresh and
lovely piny or even cedar-like
aroma.
Take between 1000 and 2000
mg of it every day in 2 or 3
doses, if you want these home

Drinking the sweet water of
tender, green coconut is
