Probably yes: Ginger has a long history of folk use for ulcers, especially stomach ulcers. Most ulcers are caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori and in vitro studies suggest ginger can help kill H. pylori bacteria. I am not aware of any clinical studies proving that ginger helps ulcers but it is safe to try and likely to help. Mastic gum is a better-proven remedy. Also see http://tinyurl.com/p52soyy
