Home remedy for stomach ulcer

Stomach ulcers, also known as peptic or gastric ulcers, are open sores in the lining of the stomach. Because of the amount of acid present in the stomach, when ulcers occur, they are often extremely painful

The Root Causes of Ulcers:

The following general types of imbalances are at the source of most chronic conditions, including ulcers:

1. Toxins accumulating in tissues and blocking circulation.
2. Poor nutrition.
3. Poor digestion.
4. Imbalance of the nervous system.
5. Accumulation of physical and mental stress.
6. Lowering of natural resistance and immunity.
7. Disruption of natural biological rhythms.

Cumin seeds have a natural ability to help in stimulation and release of vital enzymes in the body, especially in the pancreas. Synthesis of these enzymes is extremely important for the digestion and control of acidity. These enzymes also turn out to be very helpful in the concentration of vital nutrients.
