Cramping Home Remedies
Cramping can occur in any hollow organ of the body, but
here we are primarily dealing with spasms in the digestive
tract. Causes are many, including indigestion, infection
or inflammation anywhere in the intestinal tract. Infantile
colic, due to weak digestion, food allergies and gas formation,
is a trial for both mother and baby. In adults, a variety
of irritants can cause acute cramps, while chronic gut toxicity
causes cramps relating to dysbiosis, irritable bowel and
colitis. In all cases, underlying causes need to be addressed
while painful spasms are being alleviated.
Antispasmodic herbs can provide a simple and non-toxic
approach to calming painful cramps and colic. Such herbs
are often nervines as well, providing sedative and calming
effects for jangled nerves.
Other needed herbs are also carminatives, helping expel
excess gas, and digestive tonics with anti-inflammatory
effects. Deeper problems can be improved with herbal detoxification
programs for the intestines and liver. In colic, food allergies
in the baby, or in a mother who is breastfeeding, need to
be identified and eliminated, until the immune system can
be re-regulated to eliminate these sensitivities. The same
holds true for adults.
