Anti peptic ulcer activity of tea leaves was checked in cysteamine induced duodenal ulcer and ethanol, hydrochloric acid, aspirin, indomethacin, swimming stress, pyloric ligation and restraint induced gastric ulcer models in albino rats. Ranitidine, a conventional anti peptic ulcer drug, was used for comparison. Results showed that tea leaves powder could reduce ulcer index significantly (p<0.001) in all the experimental ulcer models studied and the results were comparable to that of ranitidine.
