Senna (Cassia Angustifolia) & Nopalina.

I have been fighting constipation with a several supplements and treatments the best that I could find for a fast relief was the famous Indian Senna, Tinneyelly Senna, Hoja de sen (Sennae folium ), Cassia senna, Cassia angustifolia this are all the names for Senna, the leaves of Senna produce peristalsis in our intestines in order to get ride of constipation, anyway the senna should not be taken with our caution and follow instruction on supplement box or tea leaves dose not exceeding the dose of 55 mg of sennosides, also is not a tea to drink for ever in a daily basis, but once in a while or for ten days as max.
The leaves and pods are used medicinally as a strong laxative.

Usually 30 mg of sennosides per day is the recommended dosis, for no longer than ten days.
You need to make sure you are taking a lot of fluids, and electrolites, gatorade, pedialite, or just lots of water and eating right with a balanced diet. I usually drink just a cup of tea at night after dinner, and that helps me with the constipation by the next morning.
So don't forget to keep drinking lots of fluids, diharrea can cause levels of potassium and sodium go low and that produces an unbalance in your body, if drinking one cup of tea was to much you can try drink even less.
People with Chrohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, appendicitis, intestinal obstruction and abdominal pain should not drink senna tea or supplements containing Cassia senna or Cassia Angustifolia. There is an awesome product in the market called NOPALINA, which contains senna but also other natural fibers, I love it and drink it almost every day before bedtime or in the morning, is a natural laxative and nutritious too.

Sciatica remedies that work for me

For two days, two times a day I try chamomille tea, vitamin B complex once a day, tila tea at night, arnica oinment apply all over the sciatica pain was right before going to bed, and very important too sleep a lot and try to have a better posture when you are sitting, walking or doing excersice, and while you sleep too, doing and excercising with yoga can help improve your posture and strength your muscles and is also a relaxing practice that I highly recommend. :)
Magnets Therapy and Auriculotherapy also, Sciatica problems can be fixed but you must do all of this, at least in my case, all of this helped me and is gone now!

Sciatic Nerve Problems

I have been so busy with my kids and cleaning the house every day, so I got a sciatic nerve infflammation, a lower back pain that goes to the hip trough my leg and even my foot, the pain goes to the hip then the leg, knee and the foot, it is not good because I still need to do so much stuff around so I know Vitamin B complex is good for nerves but sciatic nerve problems are not easy to get ride off, I did found some really good information in this website

Drink two cups of willow tea, willow has a sustance alike aspirine to relax and ease the pain.
If the sciatic affection is related with rehumatologic problems specially if the pain incresses with the lower temperatures, or humidity in the air, for this kind, use diuretics as cranberry juice, cherries, asparragus, onions.
Arnica tea or cream, rub in back buttocks and legs trought the night, drink chamomille tea and tila mullion bark tea mix.

My sciatica pain was solved and I want to share my personal experience on what did it.
-Pray God for healing.
-Magnetic lower back brace; I used every night sometimes during the day around the home.
-Complex B Vitamins (intramuscular).
-Anti-inflammatory teas like chamomile, pau du arc, arnica in drops or extract. Also teas that help relax your nervous system like tila, valerian, Mellissa, mint.
-Stop for a little while lifting heavy things, and did little bit of Yoga and learn about good sitting positions.
-Auriculotherapy, ear acupuncture with mustard seeds. (diy)

All of this TOGETHER did it!
Well it was not easy and it did not work right away but I am here telling you what really works.
My other option with my physician at that time, was surgery (with the potential of losing the ability to walk) No Thank you!!!

Considerations of Natural Healing

Natural Medicine is a marvelous way of healing, but we cannot forget that every plant contains substances as strong as the most powerful medicine, like the one called Vicodin for example vicodin OPIUM is morphine extracted from the Belladona plant, wich can cause addiction and even death, but wisely use of this plant has bring tons of benefits.

So every time that you are going to use any plant, medicine, always resarch in the internet or get the info from your pharmacist to make sure you know what are you getting into your body.

By learning and reading and beeing more in close contact with the way this plant or medicine or diet is going to heal you, it is very important, the more you get involved the faster your healing will be, because you are taking care of yourself and not just taking a pill and waiting for a miracle, we are the ones that could help that miracle happend if we just love ourselves and show it to ourselves and act as we mean it.
