Crohn's Disease and Homeopathy


Crohn's disease is a condition in which there is chronic inflammation in the digestive tract, typically in the small intestine. Individuals with this condition often suffer from various symptoms and sudden acute flare-ups that are difficult to treat with medication alone. Although homeopathy is not a cure to the disease, it may help some to ease or eliminate some symptoms of the disease. Some commonly prescribed homeopathic remedies include: argentum nitricum, asafoetida, ignatia, podphylium peltatum and raphanus niger.1

Fast Facts:

  • Argentum nitricum helps to calm anxious feelings in those who suffer from flatulence and diarrhea, and helps ease the craving of sweet foods which may not be easily tolerated.2
  • Ignatia is recommended for those who suffer from loose bowels during periods of emotional stress.2
  • Raphanus niger is commonly given for bloating.2
