Filipino Home Remedies & Natural Treatments for Gastritis

Relieving Gastritis

Cabbage Juice - If you down about a quart of cabbage juice daily, studies have found, your Gastritis (or even an ulcer) will heal more rapidly. Cabbage juice is high in substances that protect your gut’s mucous-membrane lining, including L-glutamine, an amino acid, and gefarnate, which stimulates the secretion of mucus from your stomach’s lining.
