When do I have to go to the doctor? | Homeopathy for intestinal inflammation

When do I have to go to the doctor?

If there is a suspicion of intestinal inflammation due to mild diarrhea and abdominal pain lasting a few days, a doctor does not necessarily have to be consulted. It may be sufficient to alleviate the symptoms by taking appropriate measures, such as sufficient exercise, a balanced diet and the intake of homeopathic remedies. However, if the symptoms are more severe and persist over a longer period of time, a doctor should be consulted for clarification. In case of acute pain accompanied by fever, appendicitis should also be clarified.

Other alternative forms of therapy

A possible alternative therapy for intestinal inflammation is the use of Schüssler salts. In this case especially the Schüssler salts No. 2 and No.

3 are used. It should be noted that many other Schuessler salts contain lactose, which may lead to a worsening of the symptoms. Healing earth can also be used as an alternative form of therapy for intestinal inflammations.

Healing earth is a powder obtained from loam, loess or clay. For intestinal inflammation, it is recommended to use it in dissolved form with water to drink. In this way, the healing clay reaches directly into the intestine and can take effect there.

The effect includes detoxification by binding to toxic substances and pathogens. In addition, the healing clay has a regulating effect on the absorption of nutrients and promotes the absorption of important components from food, such as electrolytes and zinc.

• Calcium phosphoricum, the Schüssler Salt No. 2, has a strengthening effect on the body’s immune system and promotes the regeneration of mucous membrane lesions.
• Schüssler Salt No. 3, Ferrum phosphoricum, can have a soothing effect on existing abdominal cramps and regulates the body’s nutrient balance.

Which home remedies can help me?

There are numerous home remedies for intestinal inflammation that can help to improve the symptoms. Nutrition plays a central role here. The intake of sufficient micronutrients, i.e. vitamins, minerals, trace elements and other plant-based remedies, is essential for the balance of the transport processes in the intestine.

• The absorption of vitamin B, for example, is very important as it helps to promote the regeneration of damaged intestinal mucosa. In addition, vitamin B promotes the supply by nerves in the intestine. The vitamin is mainly contained in potatoes, salmon and wild rice, but can also be absorbed as an alternative.
• Zinc is a trace element that could often be measured in too low concentrations in intestinal inflammations.

  Therefore, a sufficient intake of zinc, for example through the consumption of linseed or poppy seed, is also important for intestinal inflammation.

• Selenium also plays a role as an important trace element in intestinal inflammation. It causes a change in the components of the intestinal wall or their composition, which can regulate intestinal inflammation and alleviate the associated symptoms. Selenium is mainly found in coconuts, oat flakes and rice.
