Ulcers are sores that can develop in different parts of the body.
Gastric ulcers, or stomach ulcers, develop in the lining of the stomach. They are very common, affecting people.
Various factors that disrupt the balance your stomach’s environment can cause them. The most common is an infection caused by the Helicobacter pylori bacteria
Other common causes include stress, smoking, excess alcohol consumption and the overuse of anti-inflammatory medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen.
NATURAL REMEDIES👉
If you suffer from stomach ulcers, consider adding cabbage juice to your diet. Cabbage juice contains L-glutamine and gefarnate, both of which protect the mucous-membrane lining of your stomach. Cabbage juice is also fermented to create probiotics that further help your digestive health.
INGREDIENTS TO USE👉
* 3 cups (675 g) chopped green cabbage
* 1 3/4 cups (435 ml) water
PREPARATIONS👉
1. Boil the water in a small pot for 30 minutes. To be the most beneficial, the water you use should be free of chlorine and other additives. Boiling will get rid of bad particles that could have contaminated the water, but you can also run your water through a filter or leave it sitting out at room temperature for 24 hours.
2. Now put the chopped cabbage and the water into a blender. Use a large blender so the blender is only about 2/3 full. If you fill the blender to the top, the ingredients may not blend thoroughly enough.
3. Now blend the cabbage and water together at low speed. Stop when the water is green-tinted, with noticeable chunks of cabbage still floating around. This should only take one or two minutes.
4. Blend the mixture on high for 10 seconds. Do not allow the mixture to blend at high speed for much longer than that. There should still be a few small pieces of cabbage floating around in the juice for maximum benefits.
5. Pour the mixture into a 1-quart (1 liter) jar. Make sure there is at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) between the surface of the cabbage mixture and the rim of the jar. The liquid will likely expand as it sits, so it needs room to expand.
6. Tightly seal the jar with plastic wrap. If the jar you use has a lid, that will also work well. For an even tighter seal, stretch plastic wrap over the mouth of the jar and screw the cap onto the jar over the wrap.
7. Allow the cabbage mixture to sit undisturbed at room temperature. Avoid allowing the temperature to drop much below 68 degrees.
Let the cabbage mixture sit for 3 full days or 72 hours. The juice is fermenting, growing cultures that will help your digestive health.
8. Now place a mesh strainer over a clean, empty jar. Use a strainer with relatively small gaps, if possible, to separate as much of the mixture’s liquid from the mixture’s solid parts as possible. Make sure the strainer you use is also smaller than the mouth of the jar to avoid any overlap or spillage.
9. Then pour the pulpy liquid through the strainer and into the second jar. Strain the liquid slowly to avoid accidentally spilling the juice or causing the strainer to get clogged with pulp. Strain out all the juice.
10. Cap the jar or jug, Store your cabbage juice inside the refrigerator until ready to drink.
Drink 1 cup of this juice first thing in the morning, gently the ulcer sores will heal up and your health will be restored.
