Abstract

-associated gastritis (HPAG) is a common condition of the gastrointestinal tract. However, extensive and long-term antibiotic use has resulted in numerous adverse effects, including increased resistance, gastrointestinal dysfunction, and increased recurrence rates. When these concerns develop, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may have advantages. TCM is based on the concept of completeness and aims to eliminate pathogens and strengthen the body. It has the potential to prevent this condition while also boosting the rate of eradication. This review elaborates on the mechanism of TCM treatment for HPAG based on cellular signalling pathways, which reflects the flexibility of TCM in treating diseases and the advantages of multi-level, multi-pathway, and multi-target treatments for HPAG.
