Crohn’s Natural Remedies

Crohn’s Natural Remedies

Crohn’s disease is an inflammation of parts of the digestive tract; a person may have problems from the mouth to the anus. It affects the large intestine most frequently and those who have Crohn’s are between the ages of 15 and 40. Crohn’s affects more women (ages 15 to 50 years old) than men. Crohn’s involves lymphatic congestion of the colon area and the colon becomes fibrous and unyielding over time, when severe it can create pockets that perforate the colon, and carry toxic materials into the abdominal cavity (leaky gut).

Symptoms of Crohn’s include abdominal pain, appetite loss, gas, bloating, non-bloody diarrhea, open anal sores or other anal problems. A recto scope inspection shows a granulated look in the small intestine. There can also be weight loss from loss of appetite. The symptoms of Crohn’s disease come and go and may persist for years without serious symptoms. There may also be associated canker sores in the mouth. In medical diagnosis there are pits and ulceration of the small and large intestine.

The first cause of Crohn’s is most likely from a diet devoid of fiber (lacking fresh fruits and vegetables) which also tends to be rich in saturated fats. Increase dietary fiber and eat a more natural diet, devoid of processed foods. Tobacco, alcohol, coffee, soda pop and fast foods should be avoided at all costs. When these factors improve, you can have significant progress. The second cause of Crohn’s may be stress to which certain people are more susceptible. Combine these two (poor diet and stress) and there may be a bigger problem. These two causes of Crohn’s are possibilities, yet none are proven, however. Using herbs, cell salts and homeopathic remedies along with diet change can be very effective; for best results use all three of these in combination.

Medical treatments target symptoms of Crohn’s with steroids, antibiotics or other band-aid medications which come with side effects and long-term dependency; they may also cut out sections of the colon. The problem is that the symptoms continue to progress without dietary and stress changes.

The natural perspective usually deals with putting out fires from the severe symptoms while helping correct the underlying problems such as improving digestion, reducing stress, etc. One of the biggest challenges is to slowly wean off prescription medication with your doctor while implementing natural therapies. A hurdle to better healthy is getting off acid reducing drugs. NSAIDS (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) pain relievers also tear up the intestinal tract. This will likely take several months.

Let pain be your guide. Don’t let periods of remission lull you back to your vices.

As a nutritional supplement, use anti-oxidant Grape seed extract to build connective tissue integrity.

 

Herbs for Crohn’s

Herbs are plants valued for their specific strengthening/ tonifying properties.

Chamomile is mildly bitter and stimulates digestion, calms the nerves; soothes gas and bloating; anti-spasmodic.

Cat’s claw has anti-inflammatory properties, gastrointestinal healer as well as for leaky gut syndrome, tissue regenerative.

Cramp bark is antispasmodic, feeds the nerves; helps with bowel tone.

Lobelia works as an expectorant to remove mucus; good to relax nervous tension.

Marshmallow coats and soothes the mucus membranes; good for inflammation of the gastro-intestinal tract and urinary tract as well as skin ulcers and wounds.

Melissa (Lemon balm) has been used as a nerve tonic and anti-spasmodic; relieves gas and bloating that can put pressure on the heart. Externally it is used to relieve cold sores.

Wild Yam root helps the function of the liver which increases bile production (natural bowel lubricant and detoxifier); relieves gas, bowel irritation, intestinal colic, and diverticulitis.
