Abstract
A peptic ulcer is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder affecting a significant proportion of the global population. The use of steroidal and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to cure inflammations can lead to recurrent and serious gastrointestinal bleeding and ulceration. Disruption of mucosal resistance to an injury can be caused by two major factors: NSAIDs and Helicobacter pylori infection. Even in modern times, herbal medicine remains a widely used primary healthcare option, particularly in developing countries, due to its perceived compatibility with the human body and lower incidence of side effects. Numerous medicinal plants and dietary nutrients have been found to exhibit gastro-protective properties, including aloe, terminalia chebula, ginseng, capsicum, and others. The key objectives of peptic ulcer disease management are to alleviate pain, facilitate ulcer healing, and delay its recurrence. This chapter assesses the anti-ulcer potential of medicinal plants.
