Hey Volquest,
I'm a recent pharmacy school graduate, and I've just started working at one of the big chain pharmacies. In pharmacy school, we didn't learn too much into natural medications, but I have seen a lot of success with different people using natural medications in their treatment regimens.
Natural Medications questions really is one of the most common topics that we will get in a pharmacy when being asked questions....
Here are a few that I like to recommend..
Gout Attacks: Tart cherry juice (8 oz): I've heard of a lot of success with this one. The cherry juice helps flush out the uric acid in your system. I've even heard a lot of people say that they believe this stuff works better than the pharmaceutical medications they are prescribed.
Sleep: Melatonin: I've seen a lot of success with melatonin as well! Although, this one doesn't seem to work in everyone, it still gets the job done in a lot of people. Especially when taken 45 minutes before your planned time to fall asleep. I personally have used Melatonin in the past and believe it works very well.
Energy:B12 for those deficient in that vitamin. I wouldn't recommend this directly (because it only should work in those deficient), but always believe it's worth a shot to try for people interested, and it is relatively pretty cheap.
IBS/IBD/Digestive Problems/GUT & Urinary health:Probiotics I personally don't know too much information on this one. I've heard extremes from both healthcare providers & patients saying that they believe they work, and others who believe they don't work.
Preventing Urinary Tract Infections: Cranberry Juice:
One Natural Medications that I'm speculative about: Prevagen: We didn't learn anything about Prevagen in school, but It is bought very commonly. My gut feeling is that it does not work, but I've heard a lot of huge believers in this medication. Have any of you all tried this, and if so - how did it work for you?
So Volquest,
Can you help me out and let me know your personal success/failures with Natural Medications? (Healthcare workers feel free to chime in)
