The main and most prominent diseases of the digestive system today

– Crohn's disease .

-Ulcerative colitis.

-Proctitis.

The common characteristic of digestive system diseases is the nature of chronic attacks. The attacks are manifested by the outbreak of symptoms such as bleeding, frequent bowel movements, abdominal pain, etc. During “quiet” periods (remission) the disease is not noticeable and patients can usually function normally. The complications that can develop as a result of these diseases are the development of intestinal cancer or partial resection of the intestine.

How can inflammatory diseases of the digestive system be treated naturally?

It is important to understand that natural treatment for inflammatory diseases of the digestive system focuses on reducing inflammation and alleviating the symptoms of the disease, rather than completely curing the disease. That is, during periods of exacerbation, the goal is to relieve the patient and make the symptoms easier to cope with, allowing them to have longer periods of remission from the exacerbations.

Natural ways to relieve:

1. diet – Because these are inflammatory diseases of the digestive system, the nutritional aspect is extremely important. It has a decisive importance on the severity of the symptoms of the disease during an attack. Attacks can be characterized by bleeding, severe abdominal pain and frequent bowel movements. The recommended diet during such times is based on low-fiber foods, a cooked diet and a focus on foods that do not promote inflammation. The main reason for using an appropriate diet to relieve symptoms is to allow the digestive system as long a rest period as possible to heal the ulcers and calm the level of inflammation. When there is a remission in the attack, it is recommended to stick to a diet based on whole foods rich in vitamins and minerals to allow the digestive system to receive the nutrients it lacks from the period when the diet was changed to relieve the attack.

2. Lifestyle – A common recommendation for curing diseases is to change the patient’s lifestyle. What does this mean? We live a stressful routine. Modern life brings with it difficult daily challenges and this has a significant impact on our health. Reducing stress is an important component in alleviating the symptoms of the disease. In addition, increasing physical activity improves the functioning of our digestive system and immune system. Another thing is the regular practice of meditation, which may reduce stresses that trigger attacks of the disease and helps improve the quality of sleep.

3. Medicinal mushrooms – Many studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of Medicinal mushrooms They have been found to be very effective in reducing inflammatory symptoms in the digestive system, thereby helping to prevent the spread of inflammation and even cure it, as well as in the healing of ulcers that form as a result of the inflammation.

-Hirisium mushroom- also known as Lion's mane mushroom contains unique polysaccharide components, which have been studied and found to help reduce inflammatory markers in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum during an attack of inflammatory disease, increase antioxidant activity, and reduce and heal ulcers in cases of ulcers in the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum.

-Tremata versicolor fungus – also known by its name “Turkey Tail” has been extensively studied as helping to restore mucous tissues in the body and renew the epithelial lining, both in cases of inflammatory bowel disease, gastritis, or the presence of bacteria. Helicobacter pylori in the stomach , and in cases of ulcers in the digestive system. In addition, the fibers in the fungus have been found to serve as prebiotic food for friendly intestinal bacteria, helping probiotic bacteria to take root in the stomach and intestines and restoring the intestinal flora.

In conclusion, natural medicine is based on the principle of relieving symptoms of digestive tract infections during an attack and extending periods of calm from attacks. Many studies show that with the help of a healthy lifestyle, a precise diet and the use of medicinal mushrooms, attacks resulting from digestive tract infections can be significantly alleviated and even contribute to the healing of ulcers in the digestive tract. Anyone who suffers from this type of infection knows how critical an attack can be and how important it is to work hard and make sure that the attacks are as mild as possible.
