Hence, it is very important to treat pancreatitis, before it can advance to the stage of becoming acute. These below mentioned herbs have been trusted for thousands of years and are still continuing with their reputation of treating pancreatitis.
HERBAL REMEDIES FOR PANCREATITIS
Dandelion
Dandelion is a well-known herb even among common people today. The bitter principle of this plant called taraxacin has made it one of the best tonics for the liver, stomach and pancreas. It helps to clean the liver and blood, along with improving digestion. Cleansing the liver in turn boosts the production of bile. With increase in the production of bile, pressure on the pancreas decreases and as a result, the pancreas stops getting hurt and damaged.
Consecutively, as the damage of the pancreas minimizes, the resulting pain and inflammation also gets reduced. Other than that, scientific studies have also revealed that regular use of dandelion can actually strengthen and stimulate the activities of the pancreas. Dandelion tea acts as a tonic for the pancreas, stomach and liver and can be prepared by boiling 2-3 teaspoons of chopped grounded dandelion in 1 glass of water.
Turmeric
Turmeric is one of the most recommended herbs for pancreatitis as it is readily available in every household. Since turmeric is a very important part of Indian cuisine, it has been heavily used in Ayurveda to treat various kinds of diseases and health disorders, including pancreatitis.
Turmeric is the only natural source of curcumin, a type of volatile oil that behaves in the same way as NSAID medications and has been found to be as effective as NSAIDs.Several clinical studies have shown that the medicinal properties of turmeric can actually prevent pancreatitis from becoming acute or chronic.
The medicinal properties of turmeric have also been proven to prevent lung damage caused due to pancreatitis. The other reason which can be responsible for turmeric’s effectiveness is its vitamin C content, as doctors say that taking vitamin C can actually help the body to recover from the damage incurred by pancreatitis.
Milk Thistle
Milk thistle is one of those cholagogue herbs, which have been trusted by herbalists for over thousands of years to treat a damaged, liver, pancreas and stomach. Silymarin, a type of flavonoidhas given this herbaceous plant the power to deal with liver damages.
Being used as a liver tonic, the extracts of milk thistle help to neutralize all sorts of liver damages, other than protecting the liver as a whole. Other than that, milk thistle is also a source of vitamin E, which helps to treat and regenerate the cells of the liver and pancreas, which get damaged as a result of pancreatitis.
Olive Oil
The most preferred cooking oil is also a great herbal remedy for pancreatitis. While flavonoids prevent the pancreas from getting damaged, the anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties of olive oil are exceptionally useful for reducing the tremendous pain and inflammation associated with pancreatitis.
For patients suffering from pancreatitis, it is better to use olive oil as the cooking medium as that will provide them with an additional power to get healed.
Licorice
Licorice root has been used as a traditional Chinese herb for treating an array of health disorders, which also includes pancreatitis. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) is one of the major bioactive compounds found in licorice, which can be the major reason behind the herb’s effectiveness for treating pancreatitis.
Licorice being a bitter herb also acts as a liver and stomach tonic, which in turn helps to heal the pancreas. To top that, the triterpenes like glycyrrhetic acid (GA) and glycyrrhizin present in licorice are potent anti-inflammatory agents, which help to reduce the associated inflammation and pain to a great extent.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteTook Onglyza off and on for a year. I have an enlarged adrenal gland. Still I await the outcome of that CT, but I know that much. Will find out more.
I had the CT because of chronic pancreatic pain that started out as "attacks" from a couple of times a month to finally after 3 months of use without interruption, "attacks" 2-3 times a week. My PA put Onglyza on my allergies list.
In the meantime, I lost almost 50 lbs in 5 months due to illness. Loss of appetite, pancreatic pain, chronic diarrhea, then eventually, inability to move my bowels. Severe back pain from the pancreas, and severe chest pain sent me to the ER where I was worked up for cardiac pain. I was cardiac cleared, but told my amylase was very low.
Still seeking a diagnosis, but I lay the blame squarely on Onglyza. I'd had pancreatic issues in the past, and argued with the PA that prescribed it, she was calling me non-compliant, and I feared repercussion from my insurance company.
I even took an article about the dangers of Onglyza, particularly in patients with a history, and she made me feel foolish.
I wish I had listened to my instincts, I fear not only damage to my pancreas that is irreversible, but also severe damage to my left kidney, though I have bilateral kidney pain.
I was off all diabetes meds, and control sugars strictly low to no carb. I can barely eat anymore, I have severe anorexia.
I would warn anyone taking Onglyza to consider a change and try Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, and anyone considering taking it, to select a different avenue. I have been suffering severely for about 9 months, but the past 7 months have been good with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicine which I took for 4 weeks.
I have been off Onglyza now, for 7 months, and simply 100% improvement with the help of Dr Itua. I had none of these issues except a history of pancreatitis in my distant past.
I will recommend anyone here with health problem to contact Dr Itua on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com and whatsapp +2348149277967 also he ccure the following disease with his herbal medicines Hiv/Aids,Herpes,Copd, Glaucoma, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease, Enlarged prostate, Alzheimer's disease, Dementia.
