Question 1

i had a stroke in 2008 ( i was 23). are there any natural remedies that can assist my meds with spasticity and thalamic pain syndrome due to a stroke?

Accepted Answer

Spasticity: I don't know of any specific remedies for this purpose.  However you might consider talking with your physician about a trial of acupuncture as an adjunct therapy for the Thalamic Pain Syndrome. See:  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21334511

Question 2

what are some natural remedies for slow digestion? i have all the symptoms of slow digestion; bloating, stomachache, my stomach feels heavy even when i have only eaten a small portion of food, plus more. i researched home remedies and i read about eating

Accepted Answer

Many : Many people use aloe vera. Another natural remedy is papain, which is an enzyme that helps digest proteins. Also guar gum (sterculia)  is a fiber that regulates the bodyâ€™s absorption thus aiding in digestion.
Lastly make sure you see your doctor for a complete work up and evaluation of your stomach complaints, there may be something more serious than digestion issues.
All the best.

Question 3

im suffering from cold n cough almost since childhood everyday. any treatment or natural remedies to get rid of it permanently?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: This is a pattern that suggests an unrecognized mild form of asthma (cough variant) or other chronic disease. Effective management requires a proper evaluation. Cough is a natural protective response &amp; should not be suppressed without understanding any triggering process.

Question 4

i have itching on stomach and hands, or just skin in general. how long should i try a natural remedy before deciding that it is actually working for me?

Accepted Answer

1 week: If the over the counter product does not help by the end of the week review the problem with your doctor.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

: GERD is a common ailment and it is a chronic medical disorder. Consequently it requires chronic/long term treatment.
Send us details of which medication(Antacids) have your been using over the last few years and also tell us if you take an antacid on a daily or on an intermittent basis. Then we can guide you further and help you to control your acid reflux symptoms.

Question 6

docs can you explain what is a genuine natural remedy to heal the stomach of peptic ulcers etc?

Accepted Answer

See below: I do not know of any "natural" medication that blocks acid production so if that is true none of these work.

Question 7

can fennel seeds burn your mouth and tongue or is it the turmeric in my tea?  i think it's fennel, they are natural cultural remedy for gasey stomach.

Accepted Answer

Fennel seeds: I think it is likely the turmeric in the tea that is causing you the problems. Try eliminating the turmeric and see how it goes. Good luck.

Question 8

i was told long ago my stomach has spasms and given dicyclomine..once 10 mg...once 20 mg...my stomach is spasming again..is there a higher dose ?..

Accepted Answer

See a physician: Reading between the lines it would appear to me that you need more than just a dose increase. You gastroenterologist should re-evaluate  your diagnosis and whether your current treatment is appropriate.

Question 9

what is the best treatment for a bloated stomach?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: There are a number of things that can cause a bloated stomach. It would depend on your other symptoms. A more detailed history would help narrow down the cause and potential treatments.

Question 10

what is a home remedy to cure burning in the stomach?

Accepted Answer

Baking Soda: In the bad old days of medicine doctors had people take loads of baking soda and truly a litle bit mixed with water, is a great cure for indigestion.  Whole milk also helps.  However, excessive use of baking soda and milk led to a syndrome called the milk-alkali syndrome where the body had too much acid washed out of it, leading to illness from the treatment.
