Naturopathic Treatments for IC Disease: Part 3 - Homeopathy
Please go back and read Part 1 and Part 2 on naturopathic treatments for IC Disease. Always check with your physician before trying any of naturopathic (or any other) treatments. For homeopathy treatments, you will need to visit a trained homeopathic practitioner who is able to prescribe the proper treatment for your particular health issues/IC issues.
According to the Urology Channel:
The standard dosage for acute symptom relief is 3 pellets of 30C every 4 hours until symptoms resolve. Lower potencies, such as 6X, 6C, 30X, may be given every 2 to 4 hours. If the right remedy is chosen, symptoms should improve shortly after the second dose. If there is no improvement after 3 doses, a different remedy is given.
Some other remedies that may be helpful in treating IC Disease include:
- Apis mellifica - This is used to treat stinging pain that is worse with heat.
- Cantharis - This is used to treat the urgency and burning with urination that is common in IC.
- Staphysagria - Used to treat UTIs that are the result of intercourse.
- Sarsaparilla - Used to treat the burning after urination.
