Current treatment for the bacteria calls for a regimen which consists of antibiotics and antacids but there are natural ways to deal with the H. Pylori bacteria as well. Let’s take a look at some of the natural methods of treating H. Pylori that people have experienced some success with.
Mastic Gum
This is a resin that is sourced from pistachio tree and it is used as a food ingredient in the Mediterranean region.
Here is what a study led by Farhad U. Huwez, M.R.C.P., Ph.D. from Barnet General Hospital in the United Kingdom concluded about Mastic Gum: “Even low doses of mastic gum — 1 mg per day for two weeks — can cure peptic ulcers very rapidly, but the mechanism responsible has not been clear. We have found that mastic is active against Helicobacter pylori, which could explain its therapeutic effect in patients with peptic ulcers”.
That is some pretty strong evidence and you might want to give this one a try if you think you suffer from H. pylori. It has also shown no known side effects with its use.
Mastic gum is available in chewable wafers or as capsules (like this one).
