Excellent remedy for IBS
Raphanus Sativus is a very helpful homeopathic remedy to alleviate a common cause of pain from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), trapped intestinal gas. Gas is one of the major causes of bloating and pain that people with IBS endure. Trapped bowel gas can also develop after surgery. General anesthesia causes the bowels to “go to sleep,” and the first step in them “waking up” is to release painfully entrapped gas. Raphanus Sativus can strongly assist the bowels in that recovery.<br /><br />There are other excellent sources of homeopathic remedies besides Boiron, including Hyland's and Dolisos. I tend to choose Hyland's when possible because of their easy-open bottles and quick-dissolve tablets.<br /><br />I have included below some important general information on how to take homeopathic medications for those who might need it.<br /><br />Preparing for Taking Homeopathics<br /><br />It is a good idea before using homeopathics to brush your teeth well with baking soda, which has no odor of its own and removes any food odors from the mouth. It is important to avoid mint toothpaste because mint negates the benefits of homeopathics. Do not put anything else, including water, into your mouth for 20 minutes after placing a homeopathic remedy under your tongue. It is also a good idea to avoid food and drink with a strong taste, such as garlic and spicy food, for as long as possible after dosing with a homeopathic remedy, ideally waiting at least an hour.<br /><br />There are two ways to take homeopathics, dry dose and wet dose. Below are instructions for both.<br /><br />Dry dose<br /><br />Note that when taking homeopathic medication, the compounds are volatile, so you should not touch these tablets with your hands. Instead, shake 2-3 tablets into the bottle’s cap and drop them under your tongue. Be very careful to not touch the cap to your lips or tongue such that saliva gets on the cap, and from there contaminate the remaining pellets in the bottle. Placing the remedy under the tongue allows it to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the thin membrane there. Hold the remedy there for several minutes without swallowing until it completely dissolves.<br /><br />Wet Dose<br /><br />1. Use a clean, dark-glass, 2-ounce dropper bottle or spray bottle.<br />2. Place 3-4 homeopathic tablets in the bottle.<br />3. Add 1/2 ounce (1/4 of the glass bottle) of vodka or rum as a preservative. Screw on the cap and shake well until the pellets are dissolved.<br />4. Add 1-1/4 ounce pure distilled water (that is, fill the bottle about 1/2 inch from the top). Screw on the cap and shake well, and shake each time before you take a dose.<br />5. A dose is 1 dropperful or, if a spray bottle, one spray. Drop or spray the liquid under the tongue and hold it there for several minutes.
