Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Certainly she can be helped with herbs. It would be a good idea to take her to an herbalist. The main issues are - reducing pain and infection, promoting good digestion, improving liver function and toning the immune, digestive and circulation. She can do a gentle cleanse in the spring when it is warm with milk thistle and dandelion in tincture form - this will help to cleanse the liver and urinary system. Try to have her eat a diet of mostly soups, stewed fruits, whole grains, green leafy vegetables lightly steamed, meat should be avoided and if eaten it should be in the form of stew. She would also benefit from probiotics or a cup of yogurt daily - astro brand yogurt has live bacteria culture. This helps to maintain good flora in the intestines so that food can be digested and eliminated properly. When this is the case food absorption is possible and she will become stronger. Herbs like licorice root, calendula, bacopa are all very useful in this condition and you can find out more if you go to a herbalist near you. These would help reduce swelling and infection. If she is very weak then the the above should help her. If some one can make juice ofr her or buy organic juice to give her a glass of day that would also be very good. Apple, carrot, beatroot with a bit of ginger would be nourishing and aid digestion.
