Rating (out of 5): 1

Mother of Pearl, also known as nacre, has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in East Asian practices such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In these traditions, Mother of Pearl is believed to possess calming, detoxifying, and tissue-regenerating properties. It is sometimes used in powdered form as part of remedies aimed at healing wounds, soothing the digestive tract, and supporting the healing of ulcers. However, there is very limited scientific research directly investigating the efficacy of Mother of Pearl for treating ulcers. Most of the available data are anecdotal or based on its mineral content (such as calcium carbonate), which may have mild antacid effects. A small number of in vitro and animal studies have explored nacre’s effects on cell proliferation and wound healing, but these do not specifically address gastrointestinal ulcers in humans. Thus, while Mother of Pearl’s use for ulcers is supported by tradition, especially in Asian folk medicine, contemporary scientific evidence to substantiate its effectiveness for this indication is lacking.
