Use of herbs and plants in cooking and medicinal dates back thousands of years. In this overview, we look at the many plant species that still have immune-boosting and cancer-fighting properties. Carotenoids, flavonoids, ligands, polyphenolics, terpenoids, sulphides, lignans, and plant sterols are only some of the many active phytochemicals found in different types of herbs. There are a number of mechanisms through which these phytochemicals exert their effects. They either prevent cell division or stimulate the synthesis of a protective enzyme such as glutathione transferase. The cancer-fighting and cholesterol-lowering effects of mevalonate are counteracted by the volatile oils and plant extracts from various herbs and plants.

Many people suffer from ulcer, a disorder of the digestive tract. Simply put, it's an inflamed break in the skin or the mucus membrane lining the digestive tract. Whenever there is a change in the equilibrium, such as increased aggression or decreased mucosal resistance, ulceration develops. Reasons for this could include drug use, poor diet, stress, and other similar factors. Peptic ulcers are a general term for any type of stomach or duodenal ulcer.

Peptic ulcer disease treatment should focus on symptom alleviation, ulcer healing, and preventing recurrence. In this article, we'll take a look at some medicinal plants that have been studied for their potential use in peptic ulcer treatment and prevention, both in ayurveda and Western medicine.
