The infection is usually passed from person to person, but can also be transmitted through contaminated food or water.Certain conditions and activities may increase your risk for developing gastritis.

1- St. John's Wort Oil

'A current review of the antimicrobial activity of Hypericum perforatum L.

A petrolether extract of the areal parts of Hypericum perforatum L. was reported to be active against gram-positive bacteria. Hyperforin, a phloroglucin derivative was shown to be the antimicrobial principle. Hyperforin exhibited an excellent effect against methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus with a MIC value of 1.0 microg/ml. A butanol fraction of St. John's Wort revealed anti-Helicobacter pylori activity with MIC values ranging between 15.6 and 31.2 microg/ml. Recently, hydrous solutions of Hypericum perforatum teas were found to be antimicrobially effective against gram-positive bacteria with special activity towards methicillin-restistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MIC values: 1.3 to 2.5 mg herb/ml).  Source: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11518059 '

Honey is a biologic wound dressing with multiple bioactivities. Thus, it prevents contact of the inflammation or irritation caused by gastritis with stomach acid and helps to shorten the healing process.

Honey decreases inflammatory edema, hastens sloughing of devitalized tissue, attracts macrophages which cleanse the wound, provides a local cellular energy source, and it protectively covers the the wound.

Each of the healing-promoting activities can be found separately in pharmaceutical products but in honey they are all present and work together synergistically to enhance the healing process.
