Jan answers your health-related questions
My aunt has several health problems but she would like some help with the
pain she suffers from post-hepatic neuralgia.
It would benefit your aunt to take a strong vitamin B12 that is easily
absorbed. I would suggest Bioactive B12, one tablet sucked daily. I would
also suggest the natural painkiller Phytodolor and perhaps dab the affected
areas with Shingle Lotion from Abbotts of Leigh, mornings and evenings,
using cotton wool.
I stopped smoking 40 years ago and have not smoked since. About three
months after I stopped I began to be troubled with catarrh. I've tried
everything I can think of with no effect. It takes ages each morning to
clear both nostrils, which has to be repeated several times a day. Can you
help please as I am at my wits end?
Firstly take a look at your diet, as this is often relevant in catarrhal
conditions, with white flour, sugar and dairy foods being the common
culprits. Reduce or completely avoid these foods and take Plantago to help
disperse accumulated congestion. Also gargle with three to five drops of
Poho Oil in a little water twice a day to help clear the upper sinus
passages.
Can you suggest something for my 32-year-old niece who is suffering from
inflammation at the back of her eyes? This is affecting her eyesight badly.
She has been prescribed eye drops and is attending the hospital regularly
but she is very distressed at the lack of improvement.
Without knowing the cause of the inflammation is it difficult to advise her
on the most suitable remedies, however, she could safely take Vision
Essentials. This contains Lutein and Bilberry, which will help provide
retina support. She could also try taking some Pycnogenol for extra
antioxidant support too.
