Ayurveda feels that the human system has lost the hamony and balance of the doshas due to accumulation of toxins in the human body. Panchakarma treatments for gastritis will ensure the elimination of toxins; this will be followed by rasayana treatments including intake of oral medicines. Ayurvedic treatments for gastritis will also include a diet regime.
It may take a few weeks to regenerate the health. The healing response is one of the most complex and coordinated activities within the human physiology and often cannot be strengthened without the patient’s personal conscious efforts. This would include a set of appropriate Panchakarma treatments and Rasayana therapies .
The Panchakarma Treatments are meant to flush out the toxins, They are classified as pre-purification, main purification and post purification phases and include various types of therapies like oil massages, fermented liquid massages, medicinal enemas, herbal purification methods.

Swedan is the process by which the body is made to sweat or perspire. By this sweating, the Agni is increased and the fatty tissue gets mobilized and throws out the waste products through the pores of the skin. This process cleans the channels thoroughly and helps control the vitiated pita doshas.
Snehan means oleation.Its literal meaning is love or tenderness.Whatever causes unctuousness, fluidity, softness and moistness in the body is Snehana or oleation therapy. The fatty substances used in this therapy are for the purpose of producing lubrication, anointing or oleating effect on the internal as well as external organs. This treatment has qualities like restfulness, strength, invigoration and cognition. This is mainly done with substances like Tila – Taila and Ghrta. This treatment is very effective in the treatment of Gastritis.
