As touched upon in a previous section of this series, many of the side effects, symptoms and complications can be treated and managed using simple herbs or herbal remedies. What many people don’t realize though, is that the problems might be curable using these same herbs and herbal remedies too.
This is a controversial topic as we’ve discussed previously, and part of the controversy stems from differing beliefs about the possible causes of Crohns disease. There is also very little scientific evidence or studies which have been conducted on using herbal and natural remedies to treat or cure diseases. Some people feel this lack of evidence and study is caused by the fact that pharmaceutical companies are unable to make large profits on herbal products, because they can’t be patented. Whatever the reason though, many thousands of people have used herbs and herbal remedies successfully for thousands of years, and they continue to do so today.
Once your Crohns disease symptoms and complications are under control, it is time to help your body start healing itself. Just using the herbs already to control and reduce symptoms is an excellent first step, because many of these same herbs are used in the healing process as well.
Slippery Elm for instance, which may have been used to help soothe the inflammation of the intestinal lining, can continue to be used for ongoing soothing and healing. Since this herb heals as well as soothes, Crohns disease sufferers may want to consider adding it to their daily vitamin and herbal intake for several weeks to a month.
Garlic is another very important herb that’s used in the initial steps for controlling symptoms and complications of Crohns disease, and it is yet another one that should be used regularly for several weeks. If the inflammation of your intestinal tract lining is caused by bacteria, fungus, or other infections, the garlic will heal those infections and kill the harmful bacteria in your system.
Garlic will normally clear up most infections within 7-10 days, so how long you take it will depend on the severity of your particular case. Continuing to take garlic for several weeks or months however, will go a long way towards helping other areas of your body to heal, become balanced, and more normalized. Garlic will also help expel any parasites that might be in your colon or other organs.
Other herbs and remedies to use for healing should revolve around liver and colon cleansing, toning, and improved functionality. Some people might prefer to go on a full detox juice diet, to help cleanse and flush their body quickly. The lemonade diet is a good option for liver cleansing particularly.
Other less drastic approaches simply include adding certain herbs to your daily routine. Dandelion for instance, is a must for cleansing and toning the liver. Yellow Dock is another excellent liver toning herb.
Capsicum, a.k.a. Cayenne, is an herb that should be used as well, because it helps stimulate your body into healing faster.
