Three Helpful Tips for IC Management

Three Helpful Tips for IC Management

Various tools and techniques to help deal with the IC bladder pain syndrome(interstitial cystitis, vulvodynia, chronic prostatitis, IBS, GERD, and fibromyalgia) can be very helpful especially when they come from readers such as yourself  As a community we’re all in this together and so suggestions to implement the energy science principles can be helpful for all of us working toward eliminating IC from our lives  Here are some suggestions about tools, herbs, and practical dietary solutions that can be helpful

CCF Tea Made Easier

Contigo travel mug with tea infuserThe Contigo travel mug with tea infuser makes it easier to carry CCF(cumin coriander fennel) tea on the road  CCF tea is important in the IC bladder pain syndrome because the primary energy patterns involved are Pitta(hot) and Vata(mobile)  Both imbalances are helped by CCF which has the qualities of cold and stable   It also builds agni which is always abnormally low in the syndrome  So sipping on CCF tea on a regular basis can be like the proverbial “drip on the forehead”  Using the travel mug is a nice way to keep the seeds in the hot water and let them steep into the tea as you travel

Adding a spearmint or basil(cold) leaf to your CCF tea basket can additionally augment the cooling effect of the tea

Acacia for IBS Symptoms

The acacia herb comes from the resin of the acacia tree of which there are many varieties growing in many hot parts of the world  Typically when herbs come from hot climates they carry the cold quality because Nature provides those living in those climates foods that help them maintain their health in such climates  Aloe is another example of such a plant

Acacia powder acts like psyllium husk in that it can help with diarrhea and constipation  In small dosing it can absorb the hot Pitta quality and stop diarrhea that occurs in IBS and inflammatory bowel disease  In larger doses both can help with constipation

Nutritional Help

Some of our readers have asked about diet assistance in order to implement the suggestions that I make on the blog  I’m a proponent of making the nutritional changes within your existing diet rather than creating new recipes  This can take some time but it’s worth it in the end  I’ll be putting together an energy science nutritional class in the near future  Let me know if you want to sign up at drbilldean@gmail.com
