You might have gastrointestinal tract problems if you encounter these symptoms:
- fever
- chills
- headache
- vomiting
- nausea
- feeling of sensations of fullness in your stomach
Now you’re asking why GI disorder has occurred to you.
There can be a lot of reasons.
Perhaps you have fallen short of reminders to take powerful dosages of
fruits, whole grains, vegetables and cereals daily. Your gut integrity
is damaged, injuring and disturbing your digestion and stomach functions
altogether.
Sometimes, because your digestive tract is inflamed, you’ll also have diarrhea and stomach cramps. Sure, you can choose from the way too many Western medicines available in the drug stores nearest you.
But why not give herbal medicine a try?
Actually, little has been known about herbal medicine. Only five percent out of all the plant species in the planet are accepted and cataloged. And believe it or not, only a quarter of this five percent have medicinal qualities.
One of them is ashitaba or the tomorrow leaf. It seems this tomorrow plant is booming in the Philippines. Why? It has so many health benefits that we can’t afford to lose! (You can explore them in this blog.)
Now, we talk about how it cures GI tract disorders.
Ashitaba is Rich in Prebiotic Fiber
Ashitaba treats gastrointestinal tract disorders such as chronic gastritis, acute gastritis, duodenal ulcer, stomach cancer, chlorydria, gastric atonia and chronic enteritis. This is backed up by evidence from the study of National Institude for Agricultural Research in Nantes, France. Researchers found out that tomorrow leaves contain natural prebiotic fiber that impacts GI tract disorders positively and significantly.
If you’re not aware, GI tract disorders, especially colitis and acute gastritis, affect more than two million people in the world. They cause erosion of your stomach mucosa, ulceration of the colon and inflammation that can result to malfunction of your immune system.
Ashitaba stimulates the growth of prebiotics to produce vital components of short-chain fatty acids to activate immunity and lower the intestinal environment’s pH. With adequate amount of prebiotic fiber in your body, you will have more regulated bowel movements and possible reduced risk of having colon cancer. Fecal bulk will be increased and transit time will be regulated.
In addition, prebiotic fiber prevents the colonization of the intestines as it has the capability to invade pathogenic bacteria like E-coli and Clostridium. Ashitaba generates good bacteria in the body to increase the number of bifidobacteria in the digestive tract. Bifidobacteria helps to increase Vitamin B and vitamin K and digest fats, carbohydrates and proteins faster.
Another account was from Dr. Baba at Osaka University School of Pharmacy. In his paper, he showed a decrease in the severity of stress related to stomach ulcers. The extract of Angelica Keiskei Koidzumi also exhibited an anti-bacterial action.
Also, ashitaba contains chalcones which work on the mucus membrane in the stomach and suppress the excessive secretion of gastric juice that prevents stomach ulcers. The onset is that the gastrointestinal tract will be cleaned. Ultimately, your body will be more conducive to absorb calcium, zinc and magnesium and be more hostile to bad bacteria.

aha ashitaba herb, new medicinal plant na naman ito sana makatulong ito sa akin. 🙂
Yes you can invest in health and you'll have no regrets 🙂
It also helps in alleviating gastrointestinal tract disorders. It is a really helpful plant.
Right. Millions of people now experience common gastrointestinal problems each year which range from indigestion, heartburn, gas, diarrhea, an ulcer, IBS and in more severe cases, sometimes even colon cancer. These problems which affect the gastrointestinal tract cause much discomfort and can be quite frustrating. Ashitaba can just help solve these problems.
My mom has recurring problems in her GI tract and she has visited many doctors about it. Maybe ashitaba can help solve it.
Your mom might be one of those dissatisfied patients who have been searching everywhere to find the right treatment? Maybe conventional therapies fail as this is often the case with patients suffering from functional gastrointestinal disorders and these options have limited efficacy. You can advise her to try herbal medicine such as ashitaba.
Is it available locally? are there side effects in drinking ashitaba tea?
Available locally? I'm not quite sure because I have not yet met people who are selling it locally – the real one, I mean. Anyway, we can import it from US and Japan. That's what I'm doing right now. 😀
I really lie to get this herb. I wanna try it for my loving husband.
In the US you have high rates for insurance, I know, and much of this burden is paid for by the patient. It's better to be safe than sorry, especially in regard with health.
I've been reading this since last year! I hope someone can do a review for this. 🙂
Well, I've read a few people testifying on the wonderful effects of ashitaba. They are also the ones who inspired me to try this plant myself and discover more of its benefits. 😀
My mom is really fond of herbal medicines but she has not heard of ashitaba yet. It would be nice to give her a plant of this herb 🙂
Yup. Maybe you can have her try this plant and you can take it yourself! 🙂 Ashitaba not only applies to GI tract disorders but to many more. As a chemist, you can probably encourage other more people to take ashitaba regularly.
gd evening, i was inspired and starting to have a new hope after reading some of your advices, i am suffering from GERD it comes and go, how to exactly prepare the ashitaba tea including the proportion of leaves and water, to relieve from GERD. thank you
