Аннотация

This article discusses the role of traditional medicine in the treatment of chronic gastritis, a pressing issue in the medical field. Gastritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the gastric mucosa. It is classified into acute and chronic types. In children, gastritis often develops during periods of rapid growth, such as between the ages of 5-6 and 9-12. The disease negatively affects the primary functions of the stomach, primarily leading to disruptions in its secretory function. According to statistics, gastritis is observed in more than half of the world’s population, with approximately 90 million cases recorded in 2013. The likelihood of developing the disease increases with age. A healthy diet, regular physical activity, and medicinal herbs play a crucial role in preventing and treating gastritis. This issue is widespread globally and affects healthcare systems. Therefore, comprehensive strategies are necessary to prevent and combat gastritis.
