I've JUST started Yoga (Vinyasa). and was curious if it helps with any symptoms of Crohn's. anybody know? and if you do, how and why does it help?
thanks.

Acupuncture, hypnotherapy, and relaxation techniques such as yoga, massage, floatation therapy, and deep breathing are other treatment options that are therapeutic and have a positive effect on Crohn's disease.

As there is no permanent cure for this disease, treatment is usually directed at easing the patient’s symptoms and misery and battling any future complications. this is normally done by the doctors by performing periodical tests to find out the developments of the disease. this helps in anticipating, recognizing, subsequent treating and essentially preventing further complications. Antidiarrheal preparations help in reducing inflammatory flare ups in the intestine although anti-inflammatory medications are also given.

Some herbal and homeopathic preparations have been found to be highly successful in alleviating Crohn’s disease symptoms. Herbal and homeopathic remedies address the underlying cause of the illness and are aimed at restoring the body’s self-healing mechanism and reducing the inflammatory response. They can help to provide a supportive platform and restore harmony and equilibrium in the affected body systems. these remedies are specifically tailored to the patient’s needs, not the symptoms.

Some examples of herbal remedies used in the treatment of Crohn’s disease include Matricaria recutita, Filipendula ulmaria, Ulmus fulva and Sutherlandia frutescens. these or other herbs may be recommended alone or in combination – depending on individual needs– and can help to strengthen digestive health and address the problems associated with Crohn’s disease, without many of the side effects associated with the prescription drugs.
