Magnesium, 200 mg per day

Multivitamin and minerals

Vitamin A, 50,000 international units (IU) per day

Vitamin E, 200 IU per day

Zinc picolinate, 50 mg per day

Treating with Herbs

More than in any of the conditions discussed in this book, a skilled herbalist is a necessity in treating inflammatory bowel disease effectively with herbs. The suggestions here are not meant to replace a balanced prescription that takes into account the individual’s needs.

Astringent remedies, such as bayberry and cranesbill, are crucial in the reduction of any bleeding.

Demulcent herbs, such as marsh mallow root, might soothe the surface irritation and can help guard against exacerbation of ulceration.

Vulneraries will promote the healing of ulceration in the mucosal lining.

Anti-inflammatories, such as chamomile and wild yam, will help the body get the inflammatory reaction under control.

Carminatives, such as chamomile and lemon balm, might help ease the abdominal discomfort. Drink a warm infusion of the herb as often as needed to alleviate discomfort.

Antispasmodics, such as cramp bark and valerian, will help ease pain caused by muscular cramping in the bowels.

Nervines, such as chamomile and valerian, will address any stress components of this condition.
