Q&A for How to Make Cabbage Juice

Cabbage juice is best made fresh, using a juicer, so it's going to be harder to find pre-made. It is possible to buy cabbage juice powder online and you might find a local store willing to juice cabbage for you but it’s not generally a product found in the standard juice section; however, do ask your local health food store, as some might sell cabbage juice or be prepared to make it on-the-spot. If you don’t own (or don’t want to own) a juicer, ask a neighbor or friend if you could borrow theirs, or ask a local store that juices fruit and vegetables if they’d juice some cabbage for you.

Cabbage contains a high amount of vitamins C and K and many other important nutrients. It contains antioxidants which may help to reduce inflammation, in common with other cruciferous vegetables (Donaldson, 2004). As with many green and cruciferous vegetables, it is a cancer preventative (Kohlmeier 1994) and can help to reduce your risk of diabetes 2. Cabbage can assist digestion and may help treat peptic ulcers. These benefits of cabbage as a vegetable will also be in its juice and cabbage juice is useful for making fermented cabbage, another healthy product.

Yes, the leaves are the main part of the cabbage that you add to the juicer. Wash the leaves first, then add to the blender after chopping the leaves into small pieces (to make it easier for the juicer).

It is possible that cabbage juice can heal ulcers, but it is not yet conclusive for humans. Various scientific studies have shown that cabbage juice can both prevent and treat digestive ulcers in animals (e.g.Yamada, Wei, Toyoda, Yamano and Wanibuch, 2014) and some older studies showed promise for people (Cheney, 1949). At this stage, more studies need to be done to confirm this is completely beneficial for human ulcer healing but at the very least you’ll be getting a good dose of healthy vitamins that will benefit your body and it may ease an ulcer.

I cured my ulcer by drinking cabbage juice 4 times a day for 9 days. I cut one cabbage into 4 pieces and juiced one piece at a time every 2 or 3 hours. I did not eat much else as it caused pain, but when I did eat I tried to eat healthy veggies and fruit. I also added a probiotic, enzymes and Vitamin C, plus a good multi vitamin to my diet.

You should allow it to cool to at least 80 degrees.

Fermentation allows bacteria to grow in the cabbage juice. While that may not sound very appetizing, probiotic bacteria support digestion and can help improve your digestive health.

Cabbage is beneficial for gut flora, and that is a good place to start. Healthy flora helps you absorb nutrients your body needs. Turmeric has been used for centuries to kill disease, and is very beneficial in destroying cancer cells, while not harming healthy cells. Turmeric should be used in combination with fresh ground pepper, since it helps you absorb the nutrients of Turmeric. It is best to buy certified organic, ground Turmeric root from a trusted online source, and combine with fresh ground pepper to help it absorb, mixed with honey and water. It is not recommended for people with gall bladder or kidney issues.

No, omeprazole can cause bowel obstructions and should NEVER be used more than 2 weeks if at all. Use plant based treatments. Over use of anti acids can have a detrimental effects on your body, use good sense and educate yourself, many natural remedies work without all the potential harm caused by pharmaceuticals.

Yes, you do.

Yes; in fact, that's the recommended way to drink it.

It's up to you, but try four glasses of cabbage juice a day for great results.

Most ulcers cause a burning sensation under your sternum but above the navel (but you should have your symptoms checked out by a doctor regardless).

No, it does not need to be cold pressed. Cold pressing is a different process from fermentation.

You can but it is more beneficial to put it through the fermentation process before drinking. It's similar to making yogurt and drinking the milk before it ferments into yogurt.
