It is of two types- acute gastritis and chronic gastritis.

===Acute gastritis===

For acute gastritis, there are many causative factors including diet and personal habits like consumption of highly spiced food, excessive alcohol consumption, heavy smoking, infections like H. Pylori, viral hepatitis, drugs like NSAIDs, aspirin, chemotherapeutic agents, severe stress including emotional factors like anger, shock, resentment, trauma, surgery and excessive burn. Due to these stress factors and smoking habits, the tracheobronchial tree of the person becomes hypersensitive and there will be increased secretion of acetylcholine, catecholamines and histamine. This leads to ~~hyper secretion~~ of HCL from parietal cells due to ~~hyper stimulation~~ of vagus and increased secretion of gastrin. It makes the person more prone to acid peptic disorders.

Principles of treatment in acute gastritis

• The related organ, stomach (amashaya) should be given due importance. ( amashaya vishesha chikitsa)

• Drugs ~~which~~ reduce the penetrating power (tikshnatva) and fluidity (dravatva) of [[pitta]] i.e, drugs having bitter taste (tikta rasa) and dry (ruksha) nature should be used to counteract these properties respectively.

• Improving the quality of digestive power (agni deepana)

• Mild purgation (mridu virechana)

• Medicated enema containing milk (kshira basti)

• The formulations like Guduchyadi Kashayam, Patoladi Kashayam, Avipattikara churna, combination of Narikela lavana and Yashti churna are effective medicines in this condition.

*Improving the quality of digestive power ([[agni]] deepana)

• It is better to avoid fermented preparations (asava & arishta)

*Mild purgation (mridu [[virechana]])

*Medicated enema containing milk (kshira [[basti]])

*The formulations like Guduchyadi Kashayam, Patoladi Kashayam, Avipattikara churna, combination of Narikela lavana and Yashti churna are effective medicines in this condition.

===Chronic gastritis===

Recurrent attacks of acute gastritis may result in chronic gastritis.
