Abstract

An ulcer in the stomach is a common digestive system ailment. Gastric ulcers are more likely to develop if one drinks alcohol regularly. Despite the extensive availability of treatment options, there are just a few preventative regimes. In animal trials, herbal remedies have been found to prevent the formation of ethanol-induced stomach ulcers. Histamine receptor 2 antagonists have a similar or higher ability to inhibit the formation of ethanol-induced stomach ulcers to herbal treatments. There are less adverse effects associated with herbal remedies. PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science databases were searched using keywords such as "gastric ulcer," "herbal medicines," and "ethanol-induced gastric injury." The search was performed up to May 15, 2021. Only articles published in English were used in this review. For those who are more susceptible to develop stomach ulcers, certain herbal combinations may be an effective option to prevent the development of gastric ulcers, based on their methods of action and the pathogenesis of gastric ulcers. Dates, pomegranate seeds, and bitter melon are all examples of herbal compounds that are safe and can be ingested. Those who regularly use alcohol may want to consider using these substances as an alternative method of preventing stomach ulcers. Anti- Helicobactor pylori herbal components such as Mitrella kentia, citrus lemon, and Cratoxylum arborescens (Vahl) Blume can be used by Helicobacter pylori-positive individuals to avoid the creation of ethanol-induced stomach ulcers.
