10 Health Benefits of Tamarind
Tamarind Benefit #4: Treats Stomach Ulcers
As mentioned earlier, tamarind is great for the health of the gastrointestinal tract. This is partly because tamarind is rich in fiber. It is also very rich in phytochemicals and polyphenols that play an essential role in the prevention and treatment of stomach ulcers and other gut issues. Ulcers are formed when the surface of the stomach and small intestines is damaged such that the cells beneath it are exposed. Stomach ulcers are very painful. But regular intake of tamarind can effectively help to heal them.
Note that besides the fruit, the leaves, bark, and the seeds of the tamarind plant also have ulcer-treating properties. The leaves and bark are especially useful in the process of healing long-standing wounds while the seeds are effective at treating and preventing wound infections.
