The role of the pancreas in the body cannot be overestimated. Its function is twofold: glycogen and insulin - the hormones produced by it - control the metabolism of carbohydrates, and pancreatic juice is one of the most important components, without which the digestive system can not fully function. It consists of enzymes, due to which fats, carbohydrates and proteins are broken down into simple elements and enter the bloodstream through the small intestine. In 24 hours, from 300 ml of juice to 1770 ml can stand out. Violation of the formation of enzymes in the pancreas leads to the appearance of many diseases. The chronic form of pancreatitis is leading among them. When the pancreas hurts, herbal treatment should supplement the basic, traditional, and strictest diet. If there is a sharp exacerbation of chronic pancreatitis, the task of the phytotherapist is to first eliminate the pain syndrome.
If the pancreas is swollen and inflamed, treatment with herbs included in the following fees will help eliminate pain, cramping, and relieve swelling. It is necessary to take equally the herbs of motherwort, St. John's wort and mint, mix and two tablespoons of the prepared mixture to boil boiling water (0.5 l), after half an hour, strain the liquid and immediately drink in warm form all or half of it 30 minutes before each meal.
Treatment with herbal pancreas, lasting 14 days, reduces its secretory activity, eliminates cramping, pain, and you can already go to the next step - taking other fees. Combine 2 tablespoons of rhizomes and elecampane roots with 3 tablespoons of valerian rhizomes, 1 spoon of violet flowers and 1 spoon of dill. Prepare the finished mixture in the amount of one spoon with boiling water (one glass), hold for half an hour in a water bath, strain after 10 minutes. Drink in small portions (a couple of spoons) before each of the three meals.
Treatment of the pancreas with herbs containing bitterness and expelling bile is especially effective in chronic pancreatitis with reduced secretion. A number of medicinal herbs have similar properties. For example, you can use the grass of dried yarrow, dried marshmallow, calendula officinalis flowers and peppermint leaves, combined in a ratio of 1.5: 1: 1: 2. Two spoons of this collection should be brewed with boiling water (0.5 l) and kept in a water bath for about 15 minutes. Strain after 45 minutes and drink the entire warm infusion or half of it at a time, 20 minutes before each meal. Continue to take up to one and a half months.
Herbal medicine replacing drugs should be carried out between periods of exacerbation of pancreatitis, when the pancreas is not swollen and not very painful. Herbal treatment should also be aimed at diseases that precede or accompany the main one (dyspepsia, heartburn, intoxication, diarrhea, gastritis, constipation, affected liver, gall bladder). It is better to conduct it several times a year (two to three), alternating fees. If pancreatitis is accompanied by diabetes mellitus, you need to introduce in a mixture or take separately herbs that lower sugar levels (blueberry leaves, black elderberry fruit , bean pods, burdock roots, dandelion or elecampane).
