* [[Licorice]] is used as a traditional treatment for gastric and duodenal ulcers.
*[[Bananas]] have been known for their abilities to protect the stomach against ulcer and prevent ulcer damage because of its antacid effects. In one study, a mixture of banana and milk suppressed the acid secretion and in an animal study, it was found that bananas protected the animals’ stomach from wounds. This is because the substances found in bananas contribute in activating the cells that composes the stomach lining, thereby providing a thicker mucus barrier against stomach acids. Another thing is that bananas contain a compound called protease inhibitors that helps in eliminating the bacteria in the stomach that causes stomach ulcers.
* Honey taken with [[cinnamon]] powder cures stomachache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.
