- If you answered yes to one or more of these listed conditions, then it is likely that inflammation could be a problem for you.
Why is inflammation a Problem?
Chronic inflammation causes significant damage to your body and if left untreated, causes cellular damage and functional tissue loss associated with long term pain conditions.
Medications
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications used long-term have a wide range of adverse side effects including gastrointestinal ulceration, hemorrhage and perforation of the stomach. They have also been linked to increased stroke risk. Pain killers may cause liver damage or become an addiction.
HOW CAN A QUALIFIED NATUROPATH HELP?
1. Prescribe herbs, spices & nutrients with excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Here are a few herbs and nutrients that may help: Ginger, turmeric, vitamin C, bromelain, quercetin, papain, resveratrol & essential fatty acids. - If you are already trying these pain & inflammation may be better managed using the appropriate dosage for you.
2. Implement a safe and effective weight loss program, whilst reducing oxidation & cellular damage contributing to inflammation is essential. - Be careful of fast or fad weight loss programs, supplements or miracle herbs, as rapid detoxification can be detrimental and painful which may occur when loosing fat too rapidly without adequate liver and gut support.
3. A Holistic program to support emotional health and healing on your wellness journey. This can support you in finding what may be blocking you from achieving your goals.
4. Testing can be a great tool to assess any underlying causes contributing to your condition. Thyroid, liver function and gut health may be factors that need to be first addressed. These may include: Thyroid functional testing, food Intolerance, stool analysis & MTHFR gene testing.
