How often and how long should I use the household remedies?
The frequency and duration of use of household remedies varies greatly. In general, it can be said that a balanced diet with many different micronutrients, vitamins and minerals should always be aimed for. This not only helps against intestinal inflammation, but also prevents many other diseases. Sufficient exercise should also generally be integrated into everyday life in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
What should be avoided?
In order to prevent intestinal inflammation or its spread, there are various factors and influences that should be avoided. In general, it must be noted that the intestine is a very complex organ that is in balance with regard to many different influencing factors. This includes, for example, nutrition.
It should be avoided to consume incompatible or poorly tolerated food in high quantities. If the symptoms are severe, especially a few hours after eating, it may be necessary to avoid food altogether. Another factor is exercise.
A lack of exercise should be avoided, as many studies have shown that sport and physical activity have a positive effect on intestinal inflammation. Sitting for too long and excessive stress combined with a lack of exercise are frequent influences in the development and spread of intestinal inflammation.
- These include first of all the preparation methods oily, fried, deep-fried and smoked, which should be avoided.
- In addition, poorly tolerated fruits and vegetables such as onions, legumes, avocados, sauerkraut and citrus fruits should be avoided.
- Also meat and fish with a high fat content should be avoided.
- Drinking alcohol, coffee and smoking cigarettes can also be harmful for some intestinal inflammations.
Treatment of the disease only with home remedies or only as supportive therapy?
Whether an intestinal inflammation can only be treated with home remedies depends on the type of symptoms and their duration. In most cases, the diagnosis of an intestinal inflammation is first made by a doctor and often treated with appropriate medication. If an inflammation of the bowel is present with recurrent diarrhea and occasional pain, treatment with household remedies may be helpful and sufficient. However, especially in the case of recurring strong symptoms, a medical clarification with appropriate therapy should be carried out. Here the household remedies can continue to have a supporting effect.
