Cabbage is a remarkable remedy for ulcerative colitis, stomach ulcers, and duodenal ulcers. The key nutrient in this remedy is vitamin U (S-methyl methionine), and cabbage has copious amounts.

It is also a super source of vitamins C, A, and K. Vitamin K assists with intestinal function and ultimately decreases chronic inflammation. These nutrients aid the proper functioning of the immune system, too.

With basil, coriander, parsley, sweet potato, and zucchini delivering more inflammation-reducing compounds and detoxifying effects on the digestive tract, this is a wonderful soup to support optimum health for your body.

Soothing and warming, delighting the tastebuds, nourishing your gut and mind, you can feel the healing benefits the moment you start eating.

Mindfully eat your cabbage and basil soup to maximize the healing!
