When do I have to go to the doctor?
A doctor does not have to be consulted for every suspected intestinal inflammation. Diarrhea and abdominal pain, as well as constipation can occasionally occur in healthy people. First of all, it is important to drink enough and to ensure a balanced diet and sufficient exercise.
In the case of severe diarrhea, which is accompanied by a high number of daily visits to the toilet, a medical examination should be carried out. Strong abdominal pain or cramps should also be medically examined. Here it is particularly important to rule out appendicitis in the event of additional fever.
Which alternative therapy can still help?
As an alternative therapy, for example, the use of different plants or roots can be considered. Another area of alternative medicine is the use of essential oils. They can be used for intestinal inflammation, as they play a role in inhibiting inflammatory processes in the body and thus have a regulating effect on the immune system.
They also have an antispasmodic effect and can thus relieve abdominal pain. It is important that essential oils are always consulted in advance with medical personnel, as under certain circumstances allergic reactions or worsening of intestinal inflammation can occur.
- These include myrrh, which has an inhibiting effect on inflammatory processes in the body and cleans the intestines.
- Camomile leaves can also be used, as they are anti-inflammatory and act against infectious agents. The ribwort plant has a gentle and protective effect on the intestinal mucosa.
- Blackberry leaves, which can be infused into a tea, are also effective against pathogens and inflammatory processes. They also lead to a relaxation of the cramped intestinal muscles.
- Possible oils that can be used are frankincense, chamomile and cloves.
