Gastritis is an inflammation, irritation, or erosion of the lining of the stomach. It can occur suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic). According to Ayurveda, gastritis is caused due to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which leads to the production of excess gastric acid and inflammation in the stomach lining.
Ayurveda considers gastritis as a condition resulting from the aggravation of Pitta dosha. This leads to excessive secretion of gastric acid and inflammation in the stomach lining. Acharya Charaka in Charaka Samhita, Sutra Sthana, 20/11 mentions:
"Pitta prakopad vidagdham pittam jathyascha pitheshmadhyath" - Aggravation of Pitta dosha leads to inflammatory conditions in the digestive tract.
This shloka explains that conditions like gastritis are related to dosha imbalances and can be managed by pacifying these doshas.
“
‘Amlapitta’ is the term for gastritis in ayurveda. In this condition the main dosha that is vitiated is Pitta dosha, and the person starts getting a sour erection, burning in the chest, and also indigestion. The pitta dosha gets aggravated which leads to irritable symptoms of gastritis, and is caused due to intake of fermented food, spices, fried food, tobacco, etc.
The treatment for gastritis in ayurveda focuses on elimination of the root cause of the condition, which in this case is aggravation of Pitta dosha. Ayurvedic therapies like abhyanga, vamana, virechana, etc. are used in the gastritis condition. Further, some herbal formulations are also provided that help in pacifying the effects of Pitta dosha. These herbs include- bilwa, amalaki, shatavari, yashtimadhu, bhringraj, etc. This line of treatment helps in complete reversal of gastritis via a holistic approach.

“The ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment giving importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease.”
“Since Ayurveda focuses on the root-cause of the disease, it effectively reduces the risk of severe health complications arising out of the untreated underlying cause. Patients who complete their Ayurveda treatment have a reduced risk of health complications later.”
"Heal your body naturally with 5000-year-old knowledge of Ayurveda and Modern Science. From its authenticity, structured approach and personalisation play a very important role in complementing the effect of medicines as well as sustaining the benefit of treatment after the medicines have ended."

According to ayurveda, the duodenum which is the part of the intestine, is the place where all the three doshas- Vata, Pitta and Kapha, are found. It also acts as the seat for Agni. When there is imbalance in doshas, the effect is exerted on Agni, which then leads to Amlapitta (gastritis).
