Hi All,
I just wanted to alert you about a tincture/oil called "Oil of Oregano" that is used to cure sore throats and other ailments. I thought it would be safe to take it for a nasty cold that was coming on, because oregano is a bladder-friendly, it worked great on my throat but not on my bladder. I am just getting over a week-long full flare because I didn't use caution :loco:
Some good news though, I know I have an acidic body as most ICer's do, so I decided to fight fire with fire. Yesterday, I bought a juicer from Canadian Tire for $100.00 and a whole slew of alkaline, green veggies. Since I was mildly flaring, I thought I would make a glass of "juice", as it turns out I wound up making 30 oz. of it , oh my, but I drank it all down and within half and hour my symptoms were gone :woohoo:, that was at 3pm and guess what, I only peed once after consuming it. In fact I went to my 1 hour yoga class at 5pm.
Also, I found out that when my bladder feels hot and burning at night when I lay down, to place an ice bag on my sheet, between me and the icebag and I can drift off to sleep, but I ditch the icebag at the very last minute before dropping off.
Maybe some of you other suffers can find releif from this hell, with one of my recommendations.
