Core Tip	Clinical treatments for gastric ulcer have allowed rapid development of potent anti-ulcer drugs, such as H2-receptor antagonists or proton pump inhibitors, which has been essential for ulcer healing and the prevention of complications. However, many patients have still suffered from recurrence or intractability in spite of continuous anti-ulcer therapy. The concept of the quality of ulcer healing is that we should consider the reconstruction of the mucosal structure and its function for preventing ulcer recurrence. In this review, we will introduce the importance of the quality of ulcer healing and the achievements from natural products.
