I'm sure this question comes to your mind once in a while. If you don't suffer from it, you've probably seen several people with the ailment.
But why is it common?
This is a question only the medical personnel can answer accurately; however, there's a myth that hunger is the main cause.
Perhaps many Nigerians will agree with this reason because there's an increasing level of hunger in the country. Therefore, attributing the many cases of ulcers to hunger makes sense to a lot of people. Although this is not the case as many medical personnel has debunked this claim.
There are reports that pink killer drugs are a major cause of ulcers and people are advised against taking them (often).
So what is the cure?
According to many ulcer patients, it has no cure. This could be due to how much they spend on drugs that appear to be quick fixes rather a permanent cures. You'll barely convince an ulcer patient there's a permanent cure.
But recently, cases of ulcers cured permanently have emerged from different angles. And these cases all have something in common - herbal medication.
It's a common belief that herbs sometimes offer a cure to some ailments modern medicine struggle to treat. Maybe this is the reason many ulcer patients decided to seek solutions in the old traditional medicine and it is working.
