Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining. It could happen in a brief episode or last for a while. There may not be any symptoms, but the most prevalent one when there are symptoms is upper abdomen discomfort (see dyspepsia). Heartburn, bloating, appetite loss, nausea, and vomiting are among more potential symptoms. Stomach cancers, ulcers, and bleeding are possible complications. Low red blood cell counts caused by insufficient vitamin B12 can happen when autoimmune issues are present; this illness is known as pernicious anaemia. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication usage and Helicobacter pylori infection are common causes (NSAIDs). Crohn's disease, radiation therapy, alcoholism, smoking, cocaine use, severe illness, autoimmune disorders, and smoking are other but less common causes. The diagnosis may be aided by endoscopy, an upper gastrointestinal series, blood testing, and stool tests.

A myocardial infarction may manifest with the symptoms of gastritis. Peptic ulcer disease, gallbladder issues, and pancreatic inflammation are among other illnesses that have symptoms with this syndrome. Preventing an illness involves avoiding its causes. Proton pump inhibitors, H2 blockers, and antacids are a few examples of the drugs used in treatment. It may be beneficial to consume viscous lidocaine during an acute episode. NSAIDs may be discontinued if they are the cause of gastritis. If H. pylori is present, a combination of medicines like amoxicillin and clarithromycin may be used to treat it. It is advised to take orally administered vitamin B12 supplements for those with pernicious anaemia. Usually, people are encouraged to stay away from foods that upset them. Since ancient times, people have used plant derivatives to avoid many ailments. The term "popular medicine" or "traditional medicine" refers to the knowledge of plant qualities that ancient civilizations gained and passed down down the generations till now. There are an infinite number of plant species in the world, and medicinal plants are used to treat a wide range of pathologies, including infections, internal and external inflammatory processes, dermatological, urinary/genital, parasitosis, haemorrhoids, blood pressure, diabetic problems, etc. However, the main uses are for gastrointestinal and respiratory issues. The main method of administration is through drinks, infusions, or decoctions made from various plant components (root, stem, seed, rhizome, bark, leaf, flowers, fruit or mixtures). The reviews of common medicines help us learn how various plant species are used, how they are administered, and most importantly, what features they have. In certain situations, these drinks may be helpful against H. pylori as well as active chronic gastritis, which means they also have antibacterial properties in addition to their anti-inflammatory benefits.

The Asteraceae and Lamiaceae families are mostly utilised as gastroprotectors, but they are also used against various ailments as analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents, and wound healers. The majority of research focused on the gastroprotective effects of various plant extracts in animal models of conditions like gastritis (mucosal inflammation and mucosal infection model), ulcers, and even more complex conditions like cancer model. Different cultures refer to various beverages as "tea." The tea is the extract produced by exposing fresh plant materials to hot water for a predetermined amount of time. This extract may include many substances, including polyphenols, flavonoids (whether glycosilated or not), and polysaccharides, which may interact with the mucosal barrier cells by altering their cellular regulation and metabolism. They may also have anti-H. pylori action.
