Q &A: Bursitis and Hemorrhoids

Question:

Hi Lorene,
Pls how can I help someone struggling with thigh bursitis and hemorrhoids
Thanks
LN

Answer:

Hi LN,
Nice to hear from you. Glad to see you are still helping others learn the benefits of herbal and other forms of natural health.
Bursitis:
I have never heard of bursitis in the thigh, as it means inflammation of bursa, which are only at joints.
See good pictures here:
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/bursitis/symptoms-causes/syc-20353242

 

But there is obviously other inflammation, which has lead to this “diagnosis”.
For inflammation, the ART-A formula would be great, maybe with some added Turmeric Curcumin to speed up healing of inflammation and therefore, pain. NSP’s Turmeric is much more potent than most on the market.

 

Nature’s Sunshine just taught a webinar on ART-A, which I think I sent to you recently. It contains a lot of herbs for inflammation, pain and structural healing.
 

And of course, looking at lifestyle, including diet, body posture, or activities that are aggravating is important.

 

Externally, Tei Fu Massage lotion has helped people for over 40 years, with muscular and joint  pain, as well as headaches and  stiff neck.

 

Hemorrhoids:
Hemorrhoids  means one has to get the bowel working properly. Constipation and consequent straining are usually involved, causing the rectal tissue to get pushed outward and irritated.

 

So either Bowel Build or LBS11 can help regulate bowel movements.  If the bowel is already moving EASILY 2x/day, without straining, then maybe a small amount of Psyllium Combo to help soften the stool and make it easier to eliminate. But only use fibre if bowel peristalsis is already working.

 

Plus, ensure enough water or other healthy liquid intake. 1/2 body weight in pounds equals how many ounces required per day. ie. 150 pounds divided by 2 = 75 ounces daily.
More if very hot weather or lots of exercise.

 

Hope this helps. If not, a consultation would be a good idea to get some necessary background and details. You know there is always causative factors. Our job is to help a person figure them out.
Be well!

 

PS:  I DON’T INCLUDE LINKS TO PRODUCTS ANYMORE, AS WITH ALL THE CONSTANTLY CHANGING UNHEALTH CANADA REGULATIONS, THEY CHANGE TOO OFTEN.

Q&A Natural Laxatives – a good solution

Colon/Cleansing, Questions and Answers, , , , , , , , , ,

Question:

Do you have something I can take every day instead of the laxatives I am on? I have been diagnosed with a tortuous bowl, and can not go without laxatives, I am taking senna, or senokot as it’s called, seems I have to wait months for more testing. Let me know………………cheers

 

Answer:

Thank for contacting us with this question. Yes, There are a couple of herbal formulations that would be more effective than senekot, and would also offer longer term  healing. The challenge with senekot is that it is a synthetic compilation of a natural herb called senna. Unfortunately the other additions are all mostly toxic: D&C Yellow No. 10 Aluminum Lake, FD&C Yellow No. 6 Aluminum Lake, lecithin, polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl alcohol, talc, and titanium dioxide.

I would encourage you to look at the full fact sheets on these two herbal combinations, LBS II and BWL BLD (stands for Bowel Build) , then   make a choice. Either will help; the LBS might be better to get things moving if constipation is a problem; the BWL BLD can be better if there is alternating constipation and diarrhea. There is also one very similar to LBS, which is in Liquid extract form LB. Nature’s Sunshine has about 20 formulas to help the bowel function better, so keep in touch until we get the best plan for you. Call our office to order any of these!

For any chronic condition, you will want to follow lifestyle recommendations concerning diet, adequate water intake, exercise and emotions, as explained in Lorene Benoit’s book: The Paw Paw Program – A “Christopher Columbus” Approach to Cancer – The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally
