Medical Herbalism: Clinical Articles and Case Studies Back to medherb.com Urinary - Lower urinary tract infections by Stansbury, Jill Medical Herbalism 03-31-97 9(1): 1, 5-11 Bladder infections or simple cystitis are frequently seen in a general family practice and are fairly easy to diagnose and treat. The complaint occurs mostly in women. The presenting symptoms of frequent urination, discomfort with urination or in the pelvis, and an abnormal urinalysis make them impossible to miss. Following is a therapeutic overview of the treatment of cystitis for simple and more difficult cases. General considerations in cystitis therapy Simple cystitis responds best to herbal teas rather than tinctures. Mucilaginous substances dissolved in the water can soothe pain, reduce inflammation, and promote mucosal repair. Mucilaginous herbs, such as althea (marshmallow) can sometimes reduce symptoms so effectively that people feel the complaint is entirely resolved and discontinue treatment before the infection is completely resolved. Antimicrobial herbs are usually needed for at least three to five days, often longer, while mucilaginous herbs offer quick symptomatic relief. Anti-infective constituents, such as phenolic compounds in the Heath (Ericacea) family members Arctostaphylos uva ursi and Chimaphila umbellatum can provide a germicidal effect in the tea form. Other herbs that may be specific to the case or individual may be added, and three or more cups of such teas can be consumed daily for five to ten days. This may be all that is needed for a young, otherwise healthy person with a single or rare occurrence of cystitis. There should be some positive response within twenty-four hours. If there is no change in a day, or two at the most, additional therapies should be promptly sought. For tenacious or chronic cases, or urinary infections in debilitated persons, consider using systemic immune support as well as a tea. A tincture or an encapsulated immune formula containing echinacea, Panax ginseng, Astragalus, Glycyrrhiza, reishi mushroom or other immune polysaccharide-containing botanicals may be added. Allium cepa (onion) may also be supplemented for additional antimicrobial support. High volatile oil compounds that are filtered by the kidneys will also have a local disinfectant action and stimulate debilitated, hypotonic tissues. Volatile oils that are filtered by the urinary system include those in urinary tract herbs such as barosma (buchu), juniper, thuja, and sandalwood. These compounds are stimulating and may be irritating to the urinary passages. They should be avoided or at least used with caution in acute inflammations and recent acute infections. Immune supportive nutrients, such as vitamin C, beta-carotene, and vitamin A may be supplemented and homeopathic remedies are also very useful in cystitis, both acute and chronic. The homeopathics most commonly indicated are apis, cantharis, berberis vulgaris, equisetum, and chimaphila. Underlying diabetes or a high sugar intake can contribute to repetitive urinary infections, and should be ruled out through medical testing. Allergic individuals such as those with asthma, hay fever, chemical sensitivity, and multiple food intolerances may suffer as allergens inflame the hypersensitive bladder. Those with constipation, poor diets, and bowel toxemia can develop chronic cystitis as the kidneys attempts to assist the bowels in their eliminative function. When one organ of elimination is weak, such as the bowels, the other organs of elimination, such as the skin and urinary system will be taxed in an effort to compensate. Those with immune deficiency, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and candidal overgrowth can also experience frequent cystitis as part of the condition.

Das erinnert mich an etwas, das mir neulich passierte: Ich aß etwas, das mein Magen nicht "goutierte" und prompt retour lieferte. Als das überstanden war, fiel mir positiv auf, dass es mir ganz super ging, also auch von dem hypersensiblen Problem-Organ nichts mehr zu spüren war.....
