Q. Does cabbage juice ease heartburn?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes, cabbage juice can be a great remedy for heartburn! Cabbage contains natural compounds known as glucosinolates, which can help reduce symptoms of indigestion and heartburn. In addition to glucosinolates, cabbage is high in glutamine—an amino acid that helps to heal the lining of the stomach, intestines, and esophagus.
Studies have shown that drinking one cup of fresh cabbage juice daily can significantly reduce indigestion and reduce burning sensations caused by heartburn. Moreover, since cabbage is low in calories it is a beneficial choice for weight loss and overall healthier digestion. Additionally, its antioxidant properties improve circulation while reducing inflammation and helping your digestive system absorb essential nutrients from food more efficiently.
This makes cabbage juice an effective remedy against chronic acid reflux or GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease). Furthermore, the Vitamin U content found in cabbage prevents ulcers from forming which further strengthens gut health. To make a delicious cup of anti-heartburn serving simply juicing one head of green or red cabbage with some lemon juice or honey for added flavor!
