Gastritis is of several types depending upon the
nature of the inflammation, the condition of the mucous membrane and glands.
Hydrochloric acid and some other digestive enzymes are secreted by the glands of
the stomach. Inflammation of the stomach thus results in the impairment of these
secretions leading to indigestion. In ayurveda, this condition is known as
urdhvaga amlapitta.
About seventy percent of
women have pain and cramping with their monthly
menstrual cycles. However, these symptoms usually are not severe enough to
disrupt in daily life.
