Recently, scientists have affirmed that raw potato juice is another potent natural medicine that can be used against several ailments such as, arthritis, body pain, and even ulcer.

The healing action of raw potato is due to a phytochemical called solanin, an alkaloid similar to belladona, which is found in the potato juice. One half cup is sufficient for a day, and it must be taken in an empty stomach.
The next day, one can combine the potato juice with an extract prepared from flaxseed or linseed. For better results, drink half cup in the morning, and another in the evening.
