Herbs have traditionally been used to assist a person to come back to a healthy state of well being. Individual herbs, specifically prescribed for a particular situation may assist the body to come back into balance, thereby allowing a healthy homeostasis to be reinstated as nature intended. The herbalist looks to the whole person, their values and attitudes as well as their circumstances and physical condition along with other aspects of their individuality. This is in marked contrast to the allopathic medicine approach.
Below you will find an example of selected herbs for a particular condition. Herbal support can take a variety of forms and combinations, so it is vital that each person consult directly with a qualified holistic practitioner to gain the full benefit of immunity and health building support.
Diarrhea can set up a pattern of physical irritation in the gut which is self-perpetuating. To break such a pattern requires a comprehensive approach to return the whole of the metabolic balance to normal and to reduce the over-sensitivity in the gut itself.
My Chronic Diarrhea Mix achieves this end by working to support the Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas, Thyroid and Nervous System balance as well as soothing the bowel lining and helping to re-establish normal intestinal flora.
This herbal mix includes the herbs:- Agrimony, Blue Flag, Chamomile, Dandelion, Garlic, Passion Flower, Rhubarb and Vervain as well as the Bach Flower Remedies; Impatiens, Walnut and Agrimony. The mix is best taken in a slurry of Slippery Elm Bark powder made from 1 heaped teaspoon of powder in cold Chamomile tea.
If the treatment is continued for 12 weeks after the bowel has returned to normal this program has the potential to reverse forever, a long standing pattern of Diarrhea.
