Interstitial Cystitis

[Branka]

Hi all,
I was diagnosed with IC 7 months ago, and on Elmiron since. I was never too big on pills, and would prefer alternative methods of treating IC. I just ordered IC herbal tea from Acupuncture Medical Practice/Green Healing Herbs, Inc - acupuncturephilly.com. I was wondering if anybody’s tried this tea; any good or bad comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi there,

I am very interested in knowing whether this tea gives you any relief. I use catheters to keep my bladder most of the time or else I am in pain. I would be fine with this, but I am up every two hours during the night and it is ruining my life. I am going to talk to a naturalpathic doctor to see if there are any suggestions from him. I recently am trying citracal which helps some women. Good luck and let us know about the tea. Thanks.

Hi and thanks for your comment.
I still haven’t tried the tea – I was hoping to get some feedback on it first. However, I will probably try it in next couple of days. I’ll keep you updated!
Hope you got some helpful tips from naturopathic doctor. Best wishes!
