Yes! You heard correctly! Rockets, otherwise known as Eruca Sativa or Arugula is an edible leafy plant that is rich in vitamin C and potassium and is mostly grown in Mediterranean areas. Some also believe that this plant is one of the world's natural aphrodisiacs.While it certainly does have the potential to offer up several uses for it's appetizing green leaves, which some scientists believe it even fights cancers, it has been used to treat stomach ulcers naturally, without the harsher medicines which could lead to even more stomach problems in the end. It helps to prevent ulcer activity by limiting the stomach acid which affects the lining. In Ischia, it's used as a digestive alcohol which is used, following meals in small doses to help digest the consumed foods. So the next time those ulcers are giving you problems, try some pizza with Arugula or a salad made with it's green leaves instead of the spicy foods.
