I’m very afraid about crohn’s disease. I have some symtoms in abdominal pain, often in the lower right area, and diarrhea. Should I go to see the doctor? Please help.

Not sure I’m ready to try that! Hmm… Thank goodness my IBS is at a good place right now. Thanks for the info! In all of my research on treating IBS, I had never come across it before.

How nice that you featured this. I have some growing in my herb garden, more for pleasure than for actually using as a medicinal herb. Thanks for your herbal updates and shared wisdom! Kathleens last blog post..Giveaway: Organic Playdough Set from Natural Pod

Hi Cheri,

I have a reference book that talks about St. John’s wort for IBS. It’s in “Prescriptions for Herbal Healing” which is a very reliable source and goes into it in more detail. But in a nutshell, the solution isn’t very pleasant. Apparently, European doctors recommend St. John’s wort oil as an overnight retention enema. Not many people (Americans, anyway) are very willing to do one of those. I’m not sure how effective it would be, but you could certainly try drinking the tea or a tincture to see if that alleviates IBS. I’ll let you know if I discover anything else. Now I’m curious too! But in the meantime, if you have a good herbalist in your neighborhood, you may want to check with them and see what they know about St. John’s wort for IBS and if they think it’s a good solution for you.
