For those of you who would like a more natural approach to management of issues, here are some ideas that may or may not work;
UTI's
Cranberry extract, Garlic oil capsules, Ginger, Echinacea, Gingko all work together to target microbes and e-coli then strengthen the immune system. Saw Palmetto helps to reduce residual urine in the bladder.
Cystex makes many preparations for UTI health or you could try the above herbals in conjunction with one another
Digestion aids
Ginger or herbal bitters such as Blessed Thistle, Barberry Bark, Dandelion Root etc. Peppermint teas or enteric coated tablets (tablets are released in the intestine so they could sting on exit), or Chamomile tea.
Muscle spasms
Valerian Root (works on the same receptors as valium only slightly less effective and wholly non addictive so take it more often) Melatonin, Kava, Gingko, Magnesium oil applied topically or pill form (internal magnesium can have a laxative effect) Country Life makes a supplement for muscle spasms Cal-Mag-D,Potassium. Oatstraw is also useful for spasms.
Nerve pain
Gingko, Evening Primrose Oil (internally) Super B Complex with B6/9/12
Inflammation
Ginger, Bromelain (in pineapple also) Arnica tablets, Arnica tea
Circulation
Gingko, Ginger, Bilberry
Wounds
St. John's Wort Oil, Honey, lavender oil
Sore muscles
Horse Chestnut gel, Arnica gel, also the inflammation suggestions
Laxatives
Psyllium seeds, Magnesium
Pain Relief
Grapeseed extract ROEX/PC95 and Ultimate Calcium Mineral formula from ROEX Make sure to take C about 30 minutes before the grapeseed, it may give you a head ache.
B vitamins especially B6/9/12 are very important for nerve impulse transmission a good B vitamin is a must. B should preferably be sub lingual or liquid. I take EMTAL by Nature's choice a combination of B's C/D/E Calcium, Magnesium (not sub lingual). I add in a liquid with B9 (folic acid) . B's leave in urine so you can't really have a build up.
A friend recommends the following topicals
Kama Sutra herbal healing blend massage oil, Herbal Heat (both containing Emu Oil) Olbas Herbal Bath, salon pas pain patches, a good massager which also stretches the muscle, a moist heat heating pad, compression sleeves relieve spasms and increase circulation. TENS unit may also help chronic pain.
When taking herbals mention them to your doctor. If you are interested in using herbals but are unsure check with a naturopath or an herbalist or invest in a good book. Checking online will give you the dosages you need. I'm actually using a book written by an N.D and am not pulling this info out of the air.
With any herbal preparation or individual herb you will need to look for high quality preferably AHPA, or NNFA products…if you use homeopathic preparations look for HPUS.
