ABSTRACT

Up to 10% of people worldwide may suffer from peptic ulcers, a chronic illness. The presence of gastric juice pH and the decline in mucosal defences both contribute to the development of peptic ulcers. The two main factors affecting the mucosal resistance to damage are non- steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. Large perennial herbaceous plant Carica papaya is known for its wide range of biological functions. In the past, it has purportedly been demonstrated that seeds, leaves, fruits, peels, roots, and stems have therapeutic and nutritional benefits. This plant has a high nutritional value that is low in calories and high in natural vitamins and minerals. Keywords: Peptic ulcers, Carica papaya, Helicobacter pylori, NSAIDs, Gastric juice
