Teas with pancreatitis: green, monastic, herbal, black

The pancreas is a vital organ for two body systems. It, as a component of the digestive system, produces enzymes that ensure the metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates and their assimilation, as part of the endocrine gland secrets glucagon and insulin. The inflammatory process in this organ (pancreatitis) requires a serious attitude and timely treatment to keep the pancreas functioning.

Therapy of acute pancreatitis or exacerbation of chronic often begins with curative fasting. During this period the patient is allowed to drink. So, can you drink tea with pancreatitis? It is possible and necessary. Teas, in addition to saturating the body with the necessary liquid, have a moderate therapeutic effect: anti-inflammatory, decongestant, disinfectant, tonic and antidiarrheal.

It should be noted that the teas should not be too saturated, not sugar-free, without synthetic flavors and additives.

Monastic tea

The herbal composition is chosen taking into account that its components complement and potentiate the action of each other. Monastic tea from pancreatitis activates the work of the digestive organs, using at the same time the phytoenzymes contained in the herbs that make up it. As a result, the load on the inflamed organ decreases, and its regeneration occurs more quickly.

Tea promotes the acceleration of metabolic processes and excretion of toxins, normalizes the endocrine system, reduces the symptoms of inflammation, has the ability to relieve pain and intoxication, including drug and alcohol. The latter is important, because exacerbations of chronic pancreatitis often occur after drinking. All these properties make it possible to take this phytopreparation on the third day after the onset of an exacerbation, when the main acute symptoms are stopped.

The composition of monastic tea in pancreatitis includes:

• The root of elecampane, which contains inulin, although it can not replace insulin, but somewhat reduces the glucose level in the blood, preventing the risks of complications, tocopherol and folic acid, potassium, calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium, saponins and alkaloids, relieves pain in digestive organs, inflammation, normalizes the sugar level.
• Leaves of salvia or sage contain the natural antibiotic salvin, flavonoids, organic acids, tannins, ascorbic acid and other vitamins; sage preparations strengthen immunity and activate the secretion of hormones and enzymes by the pancreas.
• Grass wormwood - stimulates the pancreas, metabolism and also, like the two previous ingredients, it has antitumor activity.
• Grass of St. John's wort - has a pronounced analgesic effect in disorders of the digestive system, disinfects and eliminates inflammation; contains tocopherol, carotene, ascorbic and nicotinic acid, phytoncides.
• Grass horsetail ordinary - contains saponins, flavonoids, ascorbic and organic acids, calcium, potassium, iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, has a pronounced wound healing ability.

Monastic tea in pancreatitis is used to prevent exacerbations, and in an acute period. For preventive purposes, the course of admission is no more than half a month, the duration of the treatment course is no more than three months. You can repeat it by taking a break for at least a week.

Green tea

This kind of tea is useful for people with inflammation of the pancreas. It contains almost all known to modern science vitamins, especially many ascorbic acid, it is rich in mineral components. Alkaloid tein gives vivacity, tones up the body and raises the mood, while it does not have the harmful qualities inherent in caffeine. Widely known antioxidant properties make green tea with pancreatitis simply irreplaceable beverages. Well quenching thirst, it has a positive effect on the immune system, increases the secretory function of the islets of Langerhans, normalizes the work of the esophageal canal, has a diuretic effect that helps to reduce the swelling of the inflamed organ. One of the main factors that provoke inflammation of the pancreas is alcohol. Regular consumption of green tea reduces the need for alcoholic beverages, and also - strengthens and cleanses blood vessels, relieves the body of harmful cholesterol, promotes the breakdown and assimilation of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

The usual brewing of green tea can be mixed in half with the dried leaves of blueberries. Such tea is considered an effective means of reducing appetite and suppressing excessive cravings for sweets. Blueberry leaves are often included in charges that normalize the activity of the pancreas, however, if the patient uses diuretics or observes a diet without salt, then it is better not to use mixed tea during this period, as it will enhance the action of diuretic drugs.

Blooming Sally

Basically, when it comes to cyprus or ivan-tea in the treatment of the pancreas, recall its antioxidant qualities. After all, the content of ascorbic acid in this plant is much higher than in citrus. This, indeed, is important, as it prevents the cancerous degeneration of cells damaged by inflammation. Thanks to vitamin C, the permeability of blood vessels decreases and their elasticity increases, free radicals bind in the tissues of the cells of the diseased organ, and the activity of inflammatory mediators decreases. Tannins, flavonoids, carotenoids, synergistically acting, accelerate the bactericidal and regenerative effect, preventing the development of complications. Ivan-tea with pancreatitis positively affects the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract, disinfecting it and normalizing impaired functions. It is not superfluous for a sick person to stabilize the nervous and immune system.

Prepare kopor tea in pancreatitis as follows: brewed boiling water in a dish of glass or faience at the rate of: a tablespoon of dry plant raw materials take 100ml of water. Insist for about ten minutes under a tightly closed lid. Take 50ml every day before and after eating. Tea is best not to brew for future use, but to cook before each reception.

Gastric tea

With inflammation of the pancreas, the digestive system is compromised by pancreatic juice containing enzymes, without which it is impossible to digest and assimilate food. Therefore, to normalize the digestive process, eliminate pain syndrome and other discomfort phenomena: flatulence, bloating, nausea, diarrhea, gastric tea can be useful in pancreatitis. There are several options for a mixture of medicinal herbs, of which one is selected that corresponds to the condition of the patient.

For example,  Monastic gastric tea. Its components correspond with the phytopreparation of the same name, intended directly for the treatment of pancreatitis. It also includes the flowers of marigold, the herb of St. John's wort, wormwood, crochet moss and field horsetail. In addition to these components, the phytomixes contain:

• flax seed - enveloping and protecting the mucous membrane of the digestive tract from damage by toxic and aggressive substances, as well as rich in amino acids, phytoenzymes, mineral components, lecithin and vitamins (B, D, A, E, F);
• hips - also a powerful vitamin remedy, mainly a source of ascorbic acid, whose amino acids have a bactericidal effect, and components with tannic properties - wound-healing;
• peppermint - a source of unsaturated fatty acids Omega-3, flavonoids, oleic acid; activates the process of digestion, restores appetite, eliminates the uncomfortable sensations of nausea and heartburn.

To make tea, take a teaspoon of phyto-mixture and boil with boiling water in a volume of 200ml. After half an hour, strain and drink. Two or three doses per day are allowed.

Pharmacy gastric fees, from which you can prepare tea with pancreatitis, are issued with different compositions.

Gastric collection number 1 has the ability to stop gastrointestinal hemorrhages, inflammatory symptoms, muscle spasms. It consists of leaves of plantain, Cyprula, peppermint and lemon balm; grass of St. John's wort, nettle, stalk, yarrow and horsetail; flowers of calendula, chamomile and immortelle, as well as the root of calamus and corn stigmas. A very rich plant composition, in many respects overlapping with herbal tea from pancreatitis. To prepare the drink, a teaspoon of the collection is poured into a glass of boiling water, after three hours filtered and taken on a tablespoon for 10-15 minutes before each meal.

Gastric tea # 2 is more suitable for patients with a decreased secretion of gastric juice and, in addition to anti-inflammatory and enveloping effects, also has a calming effect. In addition, this herbal mixture protects the liver cells and stops spasms of the digestive musculature. In addition to the main components of the previous harvest, the phytomixes contain leaves of strawberry and blackcurrant, hips and hop cones, elephant and valerian roots, wormwood herb and dill seeds. A tablespoon of collection number 2 is brewed 250ml of water and after three hours filtered. This drink is drunk a glass before meals.

There are a lot of gastric fees in pharmacies, many of them are available in a convenient packaged form - just put the bag in a cup, pour boiling water and after a while, indicated on the package can be drunk. Considering your condition and accompanying diseases, you can pick up the collection individually for yourself, after consulting with your doctor. Duration of admission should not exceed three months.

Herb tea

When pancreatitis, phyto-tea is usually drunk before meals three times a day, keeping the time interval before eating at least a quarter of an hour. The drink should be freshly prepared and warm. Drink at one time (if there is no other indication) can be from a third to half a glass.

The classical basis of herbal tea in pancreatitis is the combination of herbal ingredients that stimulate the secretory activity of the pancreas; containing substances acting similarly to those produced by it; have an anti-inflammatory and normalizing process of digestion. Teas brewed on herbs should relieve the pancreas, "working" for it and allowing thereby to recover as soon as possible.

A standard set of herbal components for herbal tea contains:

• flowers immortelle - their immediate effect on the pancreas is expressed in the activation of its secretory activity, while increasing the production of gastric juice, secretion and outflow of bile, patients improve appetite, go through pain and dyspepsia, restore the tissue of the organ, damaged by inflammation;
• roots of dandelion and elecampane, corn stigmas - normalize metabolic processes, have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action, contain inulin, prevent the development of diabetes and reduce blood glucose.
• grass wormwood bitter - galenic components of this plant act as stimulants of the reflex function of the pancreas, unsaturated hydrocarbons destroy bacteria and fungi and in combination with terpenoids inhibit the inflammatory process;
• herb St. John's wort - effectively eliminates pain and inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract; promotes rapid recovery of damaged mucous membrane;
• flax seed - nourishing, anti-inflammatory and enveloping action
• the seed of dill neutralizes fermentation, the development of pathogenic microflora in the intestine, quenches the pain, relaxing the muscle tissue;
• leaves peppermint - relieve spasms of the smooth muscles of the digestive tract, activates the activity of the digestive glands, secretion and outflow of bile, facilitating digestion and passage of food through the digestive canal, relieves pain, nausea, bloating.

In this collection often include herb celandine, which possesses analgesic and bactericidal properties and hop cones, in addition to pain relief, strengthening vessels and healing damaged tissues. These two plants are toxic, so the teas that they are included in are dosed strictly and taken no more than a month.

The following recipe for herbal composition has both anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to reduce the load on the pancreas, since it contains phytoenzymes, the action of which is similarly secreted by it in the normal state. In tea are contained except for St. John's wort, immortelle and mint, such components:

• roots of chicory - contains inulin, normalizing the concentration of glucose in the blood, regulates metabolic processes, purifies blood and removes virtually all toxic substances from the body; thanks only to this plant, the pancreas's work comes back to normal, however, people with violations of venous circulation (varicose veins, thrombophlebitis), and - with gastritis should not get involved with drinks with chicory;
• the grass of the shepherd's bag - the attention of the herbalists has acquired the ability of this plant to quickly restore the digestive tract, thanks to the acetylcholine included in its composition and the pronounced bactericidal properties, it has a strong hemostatic effect, so its use by people with a tendency to thrombosis is not desirable;
• inflorescences of tansyana - contain tanacetin, stimulating the secretory activity of the glands of the digestive system, normalizing the work of the intestines (coping with both diarrhea and constipation), the plant is poisonous, therefore, it is necessary to strictly observe the dosages and timing of application;
• blueberry leaves - a recognized anti-inflammatory agent, have the ability to restore the functions of the pancreas, helps to normalize the digestive process,
• nettle herb - is included in the composition of tea as a vitamin and anti-inflammatory agent that has a moderate positive effect on blood glucose levels, strengthens the immune system and regenerates the mucous membrane of the digestive tract;
• the buckthorn bark - has a beneficial and soft effect on the musculature of the large intestine.

The authorship of the following composition of herbs is attributed to Tibetan monks. Phytomix contains four components, taken in equal proportions: the herb of St. John's wort and the immortelle of sand, as well as the flowers of chamomile and birch buds. A tablespoon of the mixture is brewed with boiling water (500ml). You can drink in ten minutes. As a sweetener, add honey or syrup from the jam. Such tea is recommended to drink during the period of exacerbations, and during remission for their prevention.

With inflammation of the pancreas, you can drink herbal monocai. They are brewed as from dried herbs, which are sold in the pharmacy, and they use already prepared tea bags for brewing.

Chamomile tea with pancreatitis is quite acceptable, as with chronic form of the disease, and with acute - not strong tea is used as a therapeutic agent. After eating, drink no more than half a glass. Chamomile slightly weakens, so you can drink it only in the absence of diarrhea. This tea reduces pain, relieves inflammation and spasms, stops the formation of gases, increases the body's resistance.

When chronic form of the disease chamomile tea is prepared as follows: two teaspoons of flowers or one tea bag is boiled with boiling water in a glass or faience cup, cover with a lid. After a quarter of an hour, if necessary, strain and drink. You can sweeten with honey. It is allowed to mix chamomile with mint or melissa. With flatulence and bloat, you can add to the flowers of chamomile ½ teaspoonful of fennel seeds or fennel

Mint tea with pancreatitis can be drunk instead of regular tea twice a day. Brewing it is easy - a teaspoon of dried and chopped leaves pour a glass of steep boiling water, after 10 minutes filter and drink. This tea has a relaxing effect on smooth muscles, soothes, improves the production and outflow of bile, anesthetizes and has a mild antihypertensive and moderate antiseptic effect. It relieves attacks of nausea, activates the production of gastric juice and bile, suppresses the process of food fermentation and promotes its free movement. The stimulating function of mint with regard to the secretion of digestive enzymes is especially useful in the digestion and assimilation of fats, so peppermint almost always can be found in the collection recommended for inflammation of the pancreas.

It is also recommended to use lime tea in pancreatitis, given the strong anti-inflammatory effect of this plant. Brew tea can be recipe: two tablespoons of flowers - 200ml of boiling water. They insist for a quarter of an hour, filter and drink three times a day. You can add a pinch of mint to the lime blossom.

If it is necessary to increase the outflow of bile, it is better to drink as a tea decoction of lime color. To do this, two tablespoons of medicinal raw materials are poured 200ml of boiling water and are languishing on low heat for a quarter of an hour. Give slightly cool, filter and drink after eating a glass once or twice a day.

Inflorescences of lime are rich in glycosides, antioxidants, astringents, essential oils, proteins and amino acids, it contains vitamins, sugar and mucus. Lime tea normalizes the activity of the digestive system, metabolism and removes puffiness.

Chamomile tea with pancreatitis is recommended to use due to the properties of this plant to remove inflammation, pain and restore damaged tissue. A drink based on the herb of this plant can be drunk and in an acute period. Thyme, as it is otherwise called, has quite strong bactericidal qualities, and its astringent properties contribute to the rapid repair of the mucosa of the digestive canal. It is rich in vitamins, first of all - ascorbic acid, has in its composition an almost complete spectrum of B vitamins (except B12), mineral components are also widely available, especially potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. To make tea from thyme (thyme), pour in enameled dishes water and put her herbs at the rate of 100ml of water take two teaspoons of grass, bring the composition to a boil, insist ten minutes. This herb has a lot of contraindications, including diabetes, ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract, hypothyroidism. Of course, this is not a one-time use, but a course of treatment.

Rosehip tea

Hips are also well-deserved among alternative medicine, they are not forbidden to use in acute pancreatitis, and chronic. Tea, or rather a broth of dog rose, it is recommended to replace more aggressive drinks (black tea or coffee) during the treatment period. Its crushed fruits are added to the finished packaged teas, recommended for diseases of the digestive system. Tea made from rose hips with pancreatitis accelerates the transition of the disease to the stage of remission, prevents the development of exacerbation, its vitamins and minerals strengthen immunity and strengthen the walls of blood vessels, and flavonoids activate the secretion of hormones and enzymes.

To make tea, first boil the broth of wild rose, for which two tablespoons of berries (you can pre-shred them) pour 400ml of boiling water and tantalize in a water bath for a quarter of an hour. Cooled decoction is filtered and used as a tea leaves. Before use, dilute with hot water in equal proportions. In the acute stage, this tea is consumed on the third day after the initiation of anti-inflammatory therapy, without sweetening. In a day you can take no more than 150ml of broth. With a preventive purpose, the broth is taken at a daily volume of 200 to 400 ml, honey, sugar or jam can be added with preserved insulin production. Overdose can cause excessive secretion of bile and irritation of the mucosa of the digestive tract, especially those that are undesirable during the stage of exacerbation.

Black tea

This, perhaps, the most popular type of tea is not a recommended drink for patients with pancreatitis. If a person can refuse it and replace it with green, it will only be better for the body. However, in comfort for the big black tea lovers, we can say that its use is allowed. Only not in an acute period. During remission natural leaf black tea with pancreatitis can be drunk, but not strong, without sugar, synthetic additives, flavors and not more than twice a day. When there is an alarming symptom of the future exacerbation of black tea should be discarded.

Tea with bergamot

And the period of fading inflammation or remission is allowed to use black tea with this additive, as well as a drink without it. Bergamot is a hybrid of lemon and orange, tea is added with oil from its peel. The taste of acid, which is undesirable in the case of this disease, is not felt. Bergamot oil is a completely permissible additive to black tea, which promotes a moderate increase in the secretion of digestive enzymes, a reduction in inflammation and glucose and cholesterol levels in the blood, as well as an improvement in appetite.

Black tea with bergamot is much more common, but you can also find green tea with this additive. The combination of bergamot oil with green tea softens the tonic effect of the latter. Green tea with bergamot with pancreatitis is also used similarly to a drink without an additive. Be sure to pay attention to the tea was with natural bergamot oil, and not with a synthetic flavor analogue.

Ginger tea

The root of ginger contains a lot of vitamins, minerals and other useful components. Some of them, in particular, gingerol and essential oils, can have a very negative effect on the inflamed pancreas. Their exciting effect is able to provoke edema and necrosis of the body, a sharp pronounced attack of the disease, accompanied by a strong pain syndrome. The risk of its use is not comparable with the benefit.

Nevertheless, ginger tea can be consumed in pancreatitis in the stage of remission of pain, given its ability to relieve inflammation, soothe nausea, and stimulate digestion while taking care in dosing. Ginger shavings in small amounts can be added to green or herbal tea. When the first alarming symptoms appear, stop immediately.

Hibiscus tea

Red tea from the petals of hibiscus or Sudanese rose (carcade) well quenches thirst, has an anti-inflammatory effect, stimulates the digestive system and helps detoxify the body. This drink reduces vascular permeability, increases their elasticity, strengthens immunity and helps restore the water-electrolyte balance. Karkade tea with pancreatitis can be useful if you do not abuse it, because the pronounced sour taste of the drink warns of the danger of exacerbation.

This type of tea can be consumed one, a maximum - twice a day, better - moderately warm, always fresh and not water. Brew tea with boiling water, placing a pinch of petals in the teapot. The infusion time is only 5-10 minutes.

Puer tea

This drink refers to the less aggressive towards the pancreas and, like the usual green, is tolerated for use in acute and chronic pancreatitis. Preferred are green and white Puer, black is better to drink not strong and during remission. Puer tea is a natural antitumor drug that prevents this complication of chronic pancreatitis. In addition, it has the ability to envelop the mucosa of the digestive tract, protecting it from harmful endogenous and exogenous substances.

Detoxication properties are inherent in all sorts of tea, but are especially pronounced in light - green, white, yellow. High content of polyphenols and tannins provides anti-inflammatory effect of tea, as well as its ability to disrupt the development and growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Puer tea with pancreatitis can begin to drink after the elimination of acute symptoms, about the fifth day after the initiation of therapy of inflammation. It is freshly brewed, not strong, there should not be synthetic flavors in the tea. Chinese tea from pancreatitis is drunk, not sweetened with sugar, the maximum dose is two cups a day.

Kuril tea

A plant with bright yellow flowers - a goatee or Kuril tea is used as a medicinal tea. Drink, brewed from the young shoots of this plant, is similar to real tea and taste, and in composition, including flavonoids, catechins, tannin, a large amount of ascorbic acid, carotenoids and other biologically active components. Kuril tea with pancreatitis has a bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect, increases the outflow of bile, relieves pain, intoxication and soothes.

It can reduce blood sugar, stop dyspepsia, stop bleeding. Brew tea in the proportions: for one teaspoon - a glass of boiling water, insist ten minutes. During the period of remission, such a drink can be drunk during the day in almost unlimited quantities, in acute - it is advisable to consult a doctor. Tea from the tentacle creates an additional burden on the kidneys and lowers blood pressure. This should be taken into account when using tea.

Features of tea drinking in pancreatitis

When preparing tea, special attention should be given to its quality. Herbs and herbal preparations are best bought in a pharmacy, if there is a desire to collect and dry herbs on their own, then it is necessary to collect them in ecologically clean places, away from busy highways and industrial facilities, observing the recommendations for preparing medicinal raw materials. Tea is selected from high-quality sheet without flavorings and additives, not granulated and not in packaged form. Strong tea of any kind is not recommended to drink. Eat a drink after a meal, and, in the morning and afternoon, in the evening it is better to give up tea, given its tonic and diuretic effect.

Tea with lemon in pancreatic drink is not recommended, especially during the period of exacerbation. This is motivated by the fact that the fetus contains a significant amount of acids that are contraindicated in inflamed pancreas, since they stimulate the secretion of pancreatic juice, overloading the diseased organ and preventing the process of treatment. In the period of remission, you can sometimes add a small slice of lemon to tea.

Diet in pancreatitis requires the exclusion of the diet of carbohydrates and fats, especially strictly necessary to adhere to this rule in the acute period of the disease. Sweet tea with pancreatitis, especially sweetened with sugar, which almost completely consists of carbohydrates is strictly not recommended. With preserved normal production of insulin, you can sweeten tea without fanaticism in the period of recovery and remission. It is best to drink tea with honey for pancreatitis, if, of course, the patient normally tolerates this product. In cases of impaired insulin production, sugar substitutes are recommended for the patient.

Milk, as a rule, is not well tolerated in this disease. Tea with milk for pancreatitis should also not be consumed, however, if the patient has a desire and an opportunity to drink tea with milk, then this is permissible.

Tea with breadcrumbs in pancreatitis is included in the diet of a recovering patient and in chronic forms of the disease.

From the careful observance of dietary rules for inflammation of the pancreas the result of treatment largely depends.
