Are there natural options for IBS?
Irritable Bowel Syndrome isn't one disease - it's a constellation of symptoms. Cramping, bloating, diarrhea...not fun.
In this post, I will address Irritable Bowel Syndrome but also Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis, which are auto-immune and inflammatory diseases that share symptoms with IBS.
First, let's look at the word "cure." In homeopathy, we think in terms of healing at the deepest level of susceptibility, rather than in terms of "curing" a disease.
What you want is to be healed of your symptoms and the issues that underlie them, and to understand how you ended up in this mess in the first place.
Can homeopathy do that?
Yes, addressing the deepest levels of susceptibility with the goal of resolving the issue is the job of the homeopath.
What happens in your body with IBS, Crohn's, and Ulcerative Colitis? These different inflammatory bowel diseases and syndromes involve the tissues of the digestive tract, either the small or large intestine or both, becoming irritated and dysfunctional, affecting digestion and elimination.
As with so many modern diseases and functional issues, the cause is not clear, but they do not resolve on their own.
How do we approach these different concerns with homeopathy?
First, we take a complete case. By allowing you to fully express your symptoms, Sarah is able to get a comprehensive understanding of what is happening, and to look at overall patterns, both with other body symptoms, and with your physical and mental/emotional history.
Then, we identify the appropriate homeopathic remedy. In homeopathy, there are many remedies that can apply to issues such as IBS, Crohn's, or Ulcerative Colitis, because each person is unique and individual.
Here are just some examples of remedies that can be used in these conditions (chronic issues should always be addressed under the care of a practitioner; homeopathy is very safe but inappropriate use of remedies can influence the potential for full resolution of the issues): Homeopathy in IBS.
Many people find temporary relief using Calcarea Phos cell salts;* these are safe to try on your own.
