The whole umeboshi (salted Japanese green plum) can stimulate peristalsis and balance the body’s acidity / alkalinity.

Traditionally, umeboshi, or salted Japanese plums, are something that everyone eat to keep their stomach and intestines healthy.

To improve the body’s pH balance is to incorporate strongly alkaline foods in the diet.

If the body is slightly acidic, body cells would be less energetic, and gastro-intestinal digestive functions would be affected.
