Herbal Remedies
Different herbs and spices have impressive antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. These have been used in ornamental medicines to treat diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting since ancient times. However, there are not enough modern studies to prove their benefits for people with diverticulitis. Nonetheless, they were proven effective in soothing most of the conditions caused by diverticulitis.
Garlic, for example, contains allicin, an active compound with impressive antimicrobial properties. As a result, consuming garlic can help fight off harmful bacteria in the intestine, lessen infection, and improve digestion. Another remarkable example is turmeric. Turmeric contains the potent compound curcumin, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties and is known to soothe stomach aches and abdominal pains. Green and black tea are also popular in ancient medicine to treat nausea and vomiting.
Herbal remedies are natural and are usually harmless. However, they can sometimes mix and interact with certain medicines. So, checking with a doctor before consuming any products is best to avoid complications.
