Natural Remedies to Treat Crohn's and Colitis

The brain-gut connection

The brain-gut connection has a huge role in Crohn's and colitis. Did you know that about 60% of your neurotransmitters communicate actively in your gut? Managing the stressors of life can make a huge difference in your quality of life if you have inflammatory bowel disease. Consider mindfulness techniques and meditation practice to take care of your mental health. There are therapies out there that can help heal you if you suffer from mood imbalances. For example, hypnotherapy and Emotional Freedom Techniques are just some practices that have helped people living with Crohn's and colitis. Research suggests that hypnotherapy can modulate your body's overactive immune system. Look out for a therapist who has experience dealing with patients who have a gastrointestinal disease.
