9 natural plant remedies for stomach problems
Blackberries
In a 2013 study, subjects experienced an 88 percent reduction in stomach ulcers when given extracted ellagitannins from blackberries (ellagitannins are a type of antioxidant).
This was due to reduced inflammation in the mucosal lining of the stomach, as well as lowered levels of oxidative stress, which contributed to the formation of the ulcers.
However, blackberries have high levels of salicylates, a chemical similar to aspirin, commonly found in fruits and vegetables. If you have a sensitivity to aspirin, eating too many blackberries could actually trigger stomach problems, along with skin rashes and sinus inflammation.
