Treating H. pylori-induced ulcers naturally involves a combination of dietary changes, herbal remedies, and lifestyle adjustments to help eradicate the bacteria, reduce symptoms, and promote healing. However, H. pylori is a stubborn infection, and natural remedies may work best alongside medical treatment rather than as a replacement.
