Natural Cure For Stomach Ulcers

Eat At Least Three Bananas Daily

Bananas are probably the best natural medicine for stomach ulcers. When you eat lots of bananas, it increases the production of mucus in the stomach and makes the stomach wall thicker.

This eventually creates a barrier between the lining of your stomach and digestive acids. In addition to that, the natural ingredients found in bananas also restrict and reduce the growth of H.pylori bacteria that causes ulcers.

Raw Cabbage

Drinking raw cabbage juice or eating raw cabbage is another excellent way to cure stomach ulcers naturally. In order to add taste, you can also consider mixing some carrot juice in it. Drink one cup of this mixture while it is fresh three times a day, before every meal. You are also advised to drink it one more time right before you go to sleep. Many medical studies go as far as in saying that just eating bananas and drinking fresh raw cabbage juice daily can cure stomach ulcers in just 2-3 weeks.
