Surgery is an option that most people do everything they can to avoid, but in some cases, this is the only and most beneficial method to relieve your pain and improve your quality of life. Surgery should be an option you explore only after there are no other avenues left to utilize. Surgery can be a very scary part of life and not understanding the process fully can increase your anxiety and make you feel that much more uncomfortable regarding the entire process. Whether this is your first surgery or you have experienced surgery before, it is always important to understand why there is no other way to cure your ailments and how the surgery will work during and for your recovery stages as well. Once you have received all the necessary information regarding your health and your medical options and see that surgery is the only option for you, than there are many natural supplements and herbs that can help you prepare for your surgery. By choosing to take natural supplements and herbs before and after your surgery you are greatly reducing your health risks that can be associated with surgeries of any kind during the recovery process. It is important to take note that your general health and eating habits before your surgery can make a big difference when it comes to how you recover after the surgery. You want to make sure you are consuming nothing but healthy foods before and after the surgery and avoid taking drugs such as Aspirin that can thin the blood. Take a look at the different natural supplements that can help you prepare and recover from your surgery without complications of any kind.
- Coenzyme Q10 is known as a free radical eliminator that can help improve the oxygenation of tissue within the body. You can take this supplement in dosages of 60 mg daily.
- Essential Fatty Acids can help improve the growth of cells within the body as well as aid in healing damaged cells.
- Free-From Amino Acid Complex is essential when it comes to healing wounds.
- Garlic is the natural antibiotic that can be taken 3 times a day, 2 capsules each dosage. Use Kyolic by Wakunaga of America.
- L-Cystine increases the speed of healing for wounds within the body.
- L-Lysine also increases the speed of healing as well as creating more collagen within the body needed for healing skin tissues.
- Vitamin C is vital when it comes to promoting proper immune function.
- Vitamin E can improve circulation within the body and repair skin tissues at the same time. Vitamin E should not be taken 2 weeks prior to surgery. Begin the day following your surgery and always use the d-alpha-tocopherol form.
- Hypnotherapy can be used as an effective method of mental preparation prior to surgery and should also be used after surgery to help the healing process. According to a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, participants who used hypnosis healed faster than those who didn't use it. I highly recommend the use of hypnosis as part of an overall regimen.
