Manage Ulcerative Colitis with Herbal Remedies

This will explain how to handle an Ulcerative Colitis flare up without having to head to the doctor for steroids.

Steps

At the first sign of an attack, take 3 30xNux Vomica^[1] and 3 30x Lycopodium Clavatum pellets every 5 minutes until you feel your gut start to relax.
Increase electrolyte intake - generally you are losing a lot of electrolytes.
Start with Slippery Elm.^[2] Once you are used to it, you can take up to 6 capsules three times a day, or a heaping tablespoon mixed with water twice a day. Slippery elm will help make up for the inflammation that is occurring in your intestines
2 capsules a day Marshmallow Root - this is to calm the inflammation of the mucosa.
Stop all caffeine, alcohol and refined sugars - you need to slow down and cool down your stomach. **THIS IS CRUCIAL. YOU MUST ADJUST YOUR DIET.
If possible, switch to a diet of soups, well cooked veggies and meats, and whole grains. Avoid all fried, processed and fatty foods, as they usually make the problem worse.
If the attack has not slowed down by the next day, make an acupuncture appointment. One treatment will usually stop the attack.
Take slippery elm at high dose for at least a week after the attack has calmed down.

Do not put yourself in positions where running to the toilet will be difficult. It is better to cancel plans then to go somewhere and be anxious.
Try hard with the dietary suggestions. They are ultimately the most important part of maintaining your digestive health.
Do not get frightened or anxious if you can avoid it. Remind yourself that this is just you managing your body.
Do deep breathing exercises - inhale for 8 counts, hold for 4 counts, and exhale for 8 counts. Do repeatedly for about 5 minutes.

If you are losing a great deal of blood after the second day, make an appointment to see your specialist.
