What would you recommend for someone with interstitial cystitis, please....having to get up hourly at night to pass water, and also very frequently during the day too? Thanks...
Hello,
Some suggestions - drink plenty of soothing infusions such as comfrey leaf and linden. www.nourishingherbalinfusions.com
Yoga, acupuncture, kegel exercises - anti inflammatory herbs such as osha root tincture, st. Joan's (st. John's) wort tincture, avoid spicy foods, eat whole grains, barley broth, seeds, cooked vegetables and fruit...
