Heal and Soothe Stomach Ulcers
without Mainstream Drugs
by Tony Isaacs
Stomach ulcers are small holes or sores in the gastrointestinal tract which affect millions of Americans every year. The most common major symptom of an ulcer is a burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach area that lasts from half an hour up to three hours. Usually, the pain occurs in the upper abdomen, but may sometimes occur below the breastbone. Fortunately, there are several natural remedies which can heal and soothe stomach ulcers without the risk of mainstream drugs.
Appetite and weight loss are also common symptoms of
ulcers. Other symptoms which may occur include recurrent
vomiting, black stool, blood in the stool and anemia.
Often ulcer pain is misinterpreted as heartburn,
indigestion or hunger. A person with duodenal ulcers may
experience weight gain due to eating more to ease
discomfort.
Also known as peptic ulcers, stomach ulcers are caused
by the destruction of the gastric or intestinal mucosal
lining of the stomach by hydrochloric acid, an acid
normally present in the digestive juices of the stomach.
Infection from the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H.
pylori) is thought to play an important role in causing
both gastric and duodenal ulcers. H. pylori may be
transmitted from one person to another through
contaminated food and water.
Chronic use of anti-inflammatory medications, such as
aspirin, is another major cause of ulcer. Cigarette
smoking is also an important cause of ulcer formation
and can contribute to ulcer treatment failure.
Following are some of the best natural remedies for
healing and soothing stomach ulcers:
* One of the very best home remedies for ulcers is
eating raw cabbage. Juicing the raw cabbage will make it
easier to take and mixing it with carrots in the juicer
will make it better tasting. Drink half a cup before
each meal and at bed time and make sure that it is
fresh. Your ulcer may be gone in only a few weeks.
* Eat at least three bananas a day. These fruits contain
an antibacterial substance that inhibits the growth of
ulcer-causing H. pylori. Studies show that animals fed
bananas have a thicker stomach wall and greater mucus
production in the stomach, which helps build a barrier
between digestive acids and the lining of the stomach.
Eating plantains is also helpful.
* Cayenne pepper is a wonderful for healing ulcers as
well as dulling the pain. It is a bit strong and may
take some getting used to at the outset. Start with
one-eighth teaspoon of cayenne pepper in a glass of
water twice a day and work up to a quarter-teaspoon. You
can also take cayenne capsules that you can get at the
health food store. Take three a day immediately after
meals.
* The bark of slippery elm soothes the mucous membranes
that line the stomach and duodenum. It is often taken in
powdered form. Some herbalists recommend taking a
teaspoon of powdered slippery elm bark added to one cup
of warm water three times a day.
* Colloidal silver helps kill the H. pylori bacteria and
helps heal injured stomach tissues.
* Raw honey soothes and reduces inflammation of the
lining of the stomach and is good for healing as well.
* Garlic's antibacterial properties include fighting H.
pylori. Take two small crushed cloves a day.
* Plums and other red and purple colored foods such as
berries inhibit the growth of H. pylori.
* Coconut oil kills the bacteria that cause ulcers and
gas, but it's mostly a long-term remedy.
A few other good ulcer remedies are: raw goats milk,
barley water, aloe juice, propolis capsules, licorice
root or marshmallow root.
