The traditional system of medicine is an old system of medicine used Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, and homeopathy. In those, the Ayurveda is the most efficient treatment with no or less toxic effect but treatment may take time to fully cure the disease. Ayurvedic medicine obtained from nature. They used herbs, minerals, and animals product to make medicine. Modern system of medicine commonly known as allopathy but the side effect of the allopathic drug is more than the ayurvedic formulation. Allopathic system takes less time to cure the disease according to the ayurvedic system of medicine but not cure the disease permanently and cause more side effect. A peptic ulcer is a group of ulcerative disorder of the upper GIT and formation of peptic ulcer mainly need pepsin and acid and characterized by epigastric pain, loss of appetite and weight loss. The peptic ulcer is induced by the H. pylori bacteria. H. Pylori is the gram-negative bacteria and causative factor of peptic ulcer. Robin Warren and Barry J. Marshall identified the helicobacter pylori in 1982, as the first causative factor for ulcers. A peptic ulcer can be induced by a NASID like a drug due to inhibition of the COX pathway. The clinical trials have been conducted on experimental animal and the result of using allopathic and herbal drugs can be seen. The herbal formulation shows a good effect against ulcerative disease. Comparisons between allopathic and herbal formulation are based upon toxic response but MOA of both formulations are the same.
