HoneyContains acetylcholine, which acts on the parasympathetic nerves, promoting intestinal movement.Additionally, honey contains a variety of oligosaccharides, which promote the growth of beneficial microorganisms in the human digestive system. These beneficial microorganisms inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms, maintaining the balance of the gut microbiome.Modern medical research has found that licorice also has a certain anti-ulcer effect, inhibiting the secretion of gastric juice and stomach acid. It directly absorbs stomach acid in the stomach, reducing the acidity of gastric juice, and increasing the content of pepsin in gastric mucosa cells, protecting the gastric mucosa and preventing damage.Therefore, patients with gastric and duodenal ulcers can take licorice honey water.

It should be noted that the methods and times of taking honey are different for different patients with gastric diseases.For patients with excessive stomach acid or gastric hyperacidity, especially those with gastric and duodenal ulcers, it is recommended to drink warm honey water 1 hour before meals to inhibit the secretion of stomach acid, thereby reducing irritation to the gastric mucosa, and promoting ulcer healing.For patients with insufficient stomach acid or atrophic gastritis, it is best to drink cold honey water immediately after eating.

It is recommended that patients with chronic gastritis first quit smoking and drinking, and try to avoid foods that are too acidic, too spicy, and difficult to digest.Secondly, when eating, chew food thoroughly and mix it with saliva, which promotes digestion and reduces irritation to the stomach.Finally, be careful when using medications that damage the gastric mucosa.
