The therapeutic effect of water "Essentuki" is a favorable effect on the gastric mucosa, with its help eliminates the mucus formed by inflammation, improves metabolism, normalizes the work of the intestine. Its feature is that when heated to 45-50 0 C it slows the motor motility of the stomach, in a cool state stimulates digestion. The average course of treatment lasts 4-6 weeks.

Water with lemon with gastritis

Lemon has many healing properties due to the high content of vitamins C, A, B, flavonoids, phytoncides, a lot of acids: citric, apple, succinic, ascorbic.
