Treatment of the pancreas with herbs and folk remedies

Some information about the pancreas

The pancreas is the largest gland found in the human body.
It has an elongated shape and its appearance resembles a snail without a shell. And if we talk about where the pancreas is located, it should be noted that it covers several internal organs at once. Its body (main part) is located behind the posterior wall of the stomach, the tail is adjacent to the duodenum, and the head is located near the spleen. This arrangement often causes confusion when pain occurs, since people often confuse pain that occurs in the pancreas with pain in the stomach or spleen. And in order to promptly identify problems with this organ and begin its treatment as quickly as possible, you need to know exactly how the pancreas hurts and what measures need to be taken first.

With pancreatic disease, the pain syndrome can be different - acute and dull, pulling and cramping. It all depends on the disease developing in it. For example, with pancreatitis or pancreatic necrosis, the painful sensations are often acute and cramping in nature. They arise, as a rule, in the left hypochondrium, since it is the tail part of the gland that becomes inflamed most often. But if the head of the pancreas is inflamed, pain appears in the right hypochondrium.

In this case, the painful syndrome often spreads to other parts of the body, for example, the cervical spine, shoulder blades, lower back, shoulders and peritoneum. If, when it occurs, the patient is given an injection using an antispasmodic drug, the pain will become less pronounced, but will not completely disappear. If an attack occurs, it goes away completely only after a few days.

In acute inflammation of the pancreas, the pain can be girdling and spread to various parts of the body

In addition to pain, when a person has inflammation of the pancreas, other symptoms may appear:

nausea;
vomit;
diarrhea;
increased fat content in feces;
pallor of the skin (with simultaneous inflammation of the gallbladder, obstructive jaundice occurs);
weakness.

Important! If the attack is acute and accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, you must immediately call a team of doctors to your home. Only emergency medical care will help eliminate these digestive system disorders and prevent the onset of dehydration.

If the disease is chronic and only periodically makes itself felt with aching pain in the left or right hypochondrium, nausea and aversion to fatty foods, then treatment can be carried out at home, using various medicinal herbs. But remember that treatment of the pancreas with herbs can only be carried out with the permission of the attending physician!

The benefits of medicinal herbs for the pancreas

Before talking about which herbs to treat the pancreas, it is necessary to say a few words about their benefits. The most effective are herbal infusions that contain several medicinal herbs and combine their therapeutic effects.

For inflammation of the pancreas, treatment is recommended with plants that have the following properties:

stop inflammatory processes,
activate tissue regeneration (restoration),
improve the outflow of pancreatic juice,
normalize metabolism,
reduce pain,
improve intestinal motility,
normalize the flow of bile from the gallbladder to the pancreas,
strengthen the walls of blood vessels and improve blood circulation of the gland.

The use of herbs for the treatment of pancreas must be agreed with a doctor

These are not all the medicinal effects that herbs have. But in order to get the maximum benefit from their use, healers do not recommend using pharmaceutical preparations. It is better to collect the grass yourself, drying it and grinding it at home. But if this is not possible, then you can use herbs purchased at the pharmacy.

Important! You should not collect herbs along the roads, as they are saturated with exhaust gases and contain many harmful substances for the body. It is best to collect herbs in swampy areas or forests located away from roads and highways.

Another important point is that in order for the symptoms of pancreatic disease to become less pronounced or disappear altogether, treatment should include not only taking herbal decoctions or infusions, but also a diet. This is a mandatory condition, since without it even modern drug therapy loses its effectiveness.

The diet does not imply complete fasting (it is required only during an exacerbation of the disease), but only the rejection of “harmful” foods and drinks, which include:

all fatty and fried foods,
carbonated and alcoholic drinks,
smoked meats,
pickles,
rich pastries.

Diet is a key point in the treatment of the pancreas; without it, no therapy will produce positive results.

Inflammation of the pancreas in children

Pathologies in this organ began to appear quite often in children. If the pediatrician does not indicate any restrictions, then traditional medicine offers recipes for “little” people.

Herbal remedies are good for pancreatic problems.

Herbal mixture for treatment - recipe No. 1:

Mix in equal proportions the flowers of eyebright, calendula, immortelle, barberry leaves and string grass.
Before use, the entire composition is thoroughly ground in a coffee grinder.
1 tbsp. herbal mixture is poured with a glass of boiling water.

For these purposes, the porridge is prepared exclusively liquid and with water. It should not contain any additives in the form of salt or sugar.

Eat oatmeal porridge in small portions (a few spoons are enough) throughout the week.

Even ordinary yogurt is used as a treatment and a positive effect on the pancreas in children. It is not used internally, but as a compress. The technique is as follows:

Dip a small linen cloth, about the size of your palm, generously in preheated yogurt.
The material is placed on the area of the affected organ and the stomach is also captured.
For the compress you will also need cellophane and a warm scarf, which is placed over linen fabric.

You need to make a compress at night. The course of treatment is 4 weeks, then you can rest a little and resume the procedures again.

At the time of therapy, it is natural to follow a mandatory diet. Sugar and sweets are replaced with a natural product - honey.

An additional effect can be obtained by diluting the diet with pumpkin porridge. For 4 weeks it is cooked for dinner and given to the child.

It is advisable to prepare fresh every day. Honey will be added as an addition so that children do not feel disgust.

Always at hand: parsley for pancreatitis

Parsley is the most accessible ingredient, and by mixing it with lemons and garlic, you can get an effective cure for chronic pancreatitis.

What herbs help get rid of reactive pancreatitis

Reactive pancreatitis is a response of the pancreas to concomitant diseases of the digestive system. To treat this condition, certain types of herbs are used. The main purpose of using recipes is to restore the digestion process, eliminate pain and improve the functions of the pancreas.

Herbal decoction

Herbal preparations based on St. John's wort, mint and motherwort leaves are highly effective in the treatment of reactive pancreatitis. The ingredients must be combined in equal proportions (50 g each). You should take half a glass of the decoction daily on an empty stomach. The duration of the course is a maximum of two weeks. Repeated treatment can be carried out after a week's break.

Cooking nuances:

Widely known antioxidant properties make green tea an indispensable drink for pancreatitis.

Collection for a six-month course of treatment

Effective folk remedies for the treatment of reactive pancreatitis include a collection based on violet, valerian, elecampane and fennel. An important nuance is compliance with the proportions of the ingredients. The decoction is consumed within two weeks. If the symptoms of the inflammatory process persist, then re-therapy can be carried out after a week. A decoction is prepared from one tablespoon of the mixture and 200 ml of boiling water. You need to take the product several times a day, 50 ml.

Ingredient proportions:

valerian root (90 g);
violet inflorescences (30 g);

Red elderberry restores regenerative processes and normalizes the acidity of gastric juice. Additionally, the plant has a detrimental effect on pathogenic microorganisms and improves microflora.

Cooking method:

Steam 20 g of inflorescences in boiling water;
the preparation should be infused for twenty minutes;
The product should be taken in small portions throughout the day;

What herbs will help with pancreatic diseases

Herbs relieve pain during exacerbations, eliminate swelling of the organ and significantly reduce inflammation.

Complete recovery of the pancreas may not occur earlier than in a year, and it often happens that the acute form of inflammation becomes chronic. Treatment with herbs is possible only when the disease becomes chronic or during remission after an acute form of inflammation.

And now specifically about the plants most often used in traditional medicine recipes and helping in the treatment of inflammation of the pancreas.

Blueberry

Its enveloping property makes it possible to effectively use this plant in dried form in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and with caution in pancreatitis. Blueberry leaves are rich in acids of organic origin, flavonoids, alkaloids, and vitamins C. All this has a good effect on the normalization of organ function.

The restriction is the consumption of fresh blueberries. They contain organic acids that stimulate the synthesis of enzymes that enhance inflammatory processes. In addition, the dietary fiber of the berry provokes bloating and diarrhea; the presence of stones in the gall or bladder is also a contraindication.

Recipes with blueberries for the pancreas:

Berry decoction. Pour 200 milliliters of boiling water over a tablespoon of dried berries, boil for five to six minutes, strain. Throughout the day you need to drink two to three cups of decoction at room temperature;
Decoction of blueberry leaves. Pour a tablespoon of dried crushed leaves with six hundred milliliters of boiling water and leave for forty minutes. Drink small portions throughout the day;
Tea with leaves and berries. Take one dessert spoon of dry berries and leaves, pour into a teapot and pour boiling water over it. Drink without diluting three to four times a day.

Immortelle

Triggers the mechanism of secretory activity of the pancreas. Effective for pancreatitis. The composition contains enzymes that relieve the organ during food processing.

In addition, immortelle reduces acidity and helps reduce pain. The flavonoids included in the composition are effective in the treatment of pancreatitis and, in addition, this herb is a natural antibiotic that reduces bilirubin, which cannot but have a beneficial effect on the pancreas.

But there are also contraindications for using the plant:

Stagnation in the liver - accumulation of toxic substances contained in the herb occurs with prolonged use;
Hypertension – increases blood pressure (it is strictly prohibited to use immortelle without a doctor’s permission);
Increased stomach acidity;
Allergic reaction and individual intolerance;
Pregnancy and lactation period.

Recipes with immortelle:

Decoction. Pour a tablespoon of crushed immortelle with 200 milliliters of boiling water, wait until the mixture boils, and then cook over low heat for half an hour. Strain and take one hundred milliliters three times a day before meals, warm;
Infusion. Pour four to five grams of crushed immortelle flowers into half a liter of cold boiled water. Leave for eight hours. Drink a glass a day for three weeks.

Chamomile

The effectiveness of its use in pancreatic diseases is explained by its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. In addition, the essential oils contained in chamomile provoke the production of mucus, which protects the lining of the gland.

Contraindications include:

Individual intolerance;
Gallstone disease, a manifestation of diarrhea, also takes into account its choleretic and laxative effects.

Recipes for using chamomile for the pancreas:

Tea for acute pancreatitis. Pour a cup of boiling water over a dessert spoon of dried flowers, cover with a lid and leave for ten to fifteen minutes. Drink after meals several times throughout the day. You need to start with a quarter cup, then a third, then half. The course is two weeks.

Remove from heat and after an hour, strain and add boiled water to the resulting infusion to the volume of a glass. Take a third of a glass after meals. The course is two to four weeks. During the acute phase of the disease, make a less strong infusion.

Calendula

Recommended for normalizing bile secretion, treating pathologies of the digestive tract in cases of hepatitis, cholecystitis, gastritis, and ulcers. The substances included in the composition reduce the risk of exacerbation of pancreatitis. Calendula has anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. The use of calendula is recommended during the period of remission of the disease, but in the acute form its use is undesirable.

Recipes for using calendula:

Decoction. Pour a cup of boiling water over a tablespoon of raw materials and keep in a water bath for fifteen minutes. After the broth has cooled, strain and bring the volume to a glass, adding boiled water. Take the decoction half an hour before meals, a third of a glass two to three times a day. Take a course of one to two months;
Infusion. Pour a tablespoon of raw material into a thermos and fill it with a glass of hot water. Leave for one hour. Strain the mixture and drink a quarter glass thirty to forty minutes before meals three times a day. The course is up to two months.

Major diseases

The pancreas is an endocrine organ that produces glycogen, insulin and pancreatic juice. The first is a reserve nutrient for the body. It represents a kind of energy reserve that is used by the body when necessary, for example, during prolonged physical activity. Insulin plays a major role in carbohydrate metabolism, reducing the concentration of glucose in the blood. Pancreatic juice is directly involved in the digestion of proteins, fats and starchy compounds.

A disruption in the production of hormones and enzymes by the pancreas or a functional change in the cells or tissues of an organ becomes the impetus for the development of certain diseases, which include:

pancreatitis (acute and chronic);
diabetes;
cancer;
;
cystic fibrosis;
pancreatic necrosis.

The most common disease is chronic pancreatitis.

There are many plants that have a beneficial effect on the condition of the pancreas and help normalize its functioning. Herbal treatment can be considered as an effective addition to taking medications prescribed by a doctor and diet. Herbal medicine helps relieve pain during exacerbations of pancreatitis, eliminate swelling of the diseased organ and reduce inflammation.

What can you use to prepare herbal remedies for pancreatitis?

If you become ill, you must follow a special diet, drink decoctions of medicinal plants, and take various enzymes. For the pancreas, immortelle flowers, chicory - its root or the herb itself, medicinal burdock root, dandelion, milk thistle are of great benefit. Healing decoctions, herbs and flowers - infusions - are prepared from the roots. To prepare the decoction, you need to pour a spoonful of chopped roots with water (0.5 liters) and boil for half an hour over low heat, while the container in which the decoction is prepared must be closed with a lid. The medicinal mixture is infused for about one hour. Infusions are prepared in almost the same way, only the preparation time is reduced.

Chronic pancreatitis is treated with mini mixtures prepared from burdock root, medicinal dandelion and chicory. The roots must be chopped in equal proportions before brewing. The crushed raw materials (2 tablespoons of each root) are poured with water (1 liter), boiled over low heat, left for about an hour, filtered and taken orally, half a glass 4 times a day. If the roots are not purchased at a pharmacy, but collected independently, then they can be crushed at home and taken throughout the winter season.

Another effective and useful herbal collection for the disease consists of burdock, dandelion, chicory, which are taken in equal parts (1 tablespoon) and cumin, lemon balm, oregano, which are taken in 1 teaspoon each in equal parts. Dried and crushed herbs are mixed, then a decoction is prepared from 2 tablespoons and a liter of water. The broth should be boiled over low heat for about half an hour, and then infused for about an hour in a container with a closed lid. Take half a glass before meals about 4 times a day.

Meadowsweet and parsley for the treatment of pancreas

You should follow clear instructions when preparing herbal infusions!

A medicinal plant such as meadowsweet relieves the symptoms of the disease very well, primarily this relates to severe pain and inflammation in the pancreas. Meadowsweet is intended for making tea.

To do this, the grass is first crushed and a little warmed water is poured into a glass, then the grass is infused overnight, filtered the next morning and the infusion is drunk up to three times a day, a third of the glass.

In addition, meadowsweet is often combined with other medicinal herbs. For this, calendula, birch and linden leaves, and mullein are used. The prepared collection is poured with boiling water, infused, then filtered and drunk throughout the day.

Teas made from blueberry leaves and some cooking spices, including garlic and onions, bay leaves, and cardamom, have shown high effectiveness in treating pancreatitis. There are also medicinal herbs that activate the functioning of the gland. Among such herbs, ginseng, Chinese lemongrass, zamanika, Leuzea, and Rhodiola rosea are known.

Tinctures are prepared from these herbs, which need to be drunk in medicinal courses, taking short breaks between them.

Almost everyone has garden parsley in their home, and it’s not at all difficult to get it, but not everyone knows that it is an excellent remedy for pancreatitis. For treatment, you need to grind garden parsley (300g), garlic (300g), and lemons (1 kg) using a meat grinder. Lemons are crushed with peel, but after removing the seeds.

All components are placed in a container made of clay, glass or enamel, sealed and kept in a dark, cool place for about two weeks. When the infusion is ready, it should be consumed about three times a day, a teaspoon at a time, a few minutes before meals.

Treatment of the pancreas with medicinal herbs and herbs usually brings the desired result when you strictly adhere to the recipe for their preparation
