Turmeric is a spice but also a valuable medicine. Applying fresh turmeric to wounds helps prevent infection, promotes faster healing, and prevents unsightly scarring. The active ingredient in turmeric (curcumin) increases bile secretion, aiding digestion without increasing gastric acid secretion. Therefore, many people with stomach ulcers benefit from using both fresh and turmeric extract. Furthermore, turmeric inhibits tumor growth in the stomach and other areas.

In traditional medicine, honey serves as both a nourishing tonic and an antibacterial agent. Honey contains glucose, fructose, and many vitamins such as B1, B2, B6, and E. These vitamins stimulate metabolism. Potassium and magnesium (in readily absorbable form) stimulate appetite, increase the content of organic acids, and improve digestion. The pollen grains in honey boost immunity. For the stomach, honey reduces acid secretion, so symptoms of heartburn quickly disappear.

That's why turmeric and honey are often used as a remedy for stomach pain. Typically, 12g of turmeric mixed with 6g of honey is taken daily in pill form, with very good results.

If you regularly consume turmeric and honey, it's nutritious, calming, and helps heal stomach ulcers. This is a very safe remedy, so you don't have to worry about using it long-term.
