Many people are afflicted with ulcers, a common gastrointestinal disorder. In essence, they are inflammatory lesions that form in the digestive tract’s skin or mucous membrane lining. An imbalance between preventive and damaging factors—either from reduced mucosal defences or from increased aggressive elements—leads to ulcer development. Their development is influenced by a number of variables, including as stress, poor eating habits, and long-term pharmaceutical use. The word “peptic ulcers” refers to ulcers that mostly occur in the digestive system, specifically in the stomach or duodenum. Pepsin activity, the breakdown of mucosal defences, and the presence of stomach acid all affect their growth. Although there are a number of synthetic medications available to treat ulcers, they are frequently expensive and linked to possible negative effects, making herbal remedies a more appealing choice. Reducing discomfort, encouraging ulcer healing, and avoiding recurrence should be the main goals of the best peptic ulcer management strategy. This article examines typical medicinal plants used to treat and prevent ulcers in both modern and Ayurvedic medicine. Furthermore, it emphasizes easy and natural ways to use these herbs to effectively treat ulcers.

Keywords: Peptic ulcer, Medicinal plants, antiulcer activity, herbal drugs, medicinal Herbs, Patents.
