6 Remedies for Stomach Ulcer

Stomach ulcer is a condition when mucosa layer that lines gastrointestinal tract gets eroded. Stomach releases hydrochloric acid to digest food,

mucosa layer protects stomach muscles from this acid and its erosion can cause serious problems.

A type of bacteria called Helicobacter pyroli intensifies the problem by increasing production of hydrochloric acid in stomach. This acid causes heat burn and sores. Various indications of stomach ulcer are abdominal pain, weight loss, nausea, indigestion, headache and blood loss. The condition can be completely cured with simple kitchen materials.
