Interstitial Cystitis Research Paper {pdf download}

A 70 page, in depth paper on Interstitial Cystitis/ Bladder Pain Syndrome based on my research, personal experience and years of working with others within the realm of herbalism and this condition.

Interstital Cystitis is something that I have dealt with for most of my life and what actually got me into herbalism over 20 years ago. I have lots of personal insight and experience with this condition. My hope is that by sharing some of what I have learned, others can find relief in herbal companions that I have found so comforting over the years.

This paper does not claim to diagnose, treat or prescribe in any manner as herbs are not drugs, and I am not a doctor specializing in disease. I am an herbalist who specializes in plant therapeutics and working with the body toward a state of wellness. I wrote this paper to offer education and empowerment to those dealing with what can sometimes seem like a condition of complete mystery.

Not going to lie, this paper is long and dry in some parts, but I didn’t want to leave a single thing out. It includes:

Introduction, What is IC/BPS?, Diagnosis and Assessments, Causes, Symptom Picture, Modern Medicine, Complementary Therapies and Lifestyle Choices, Home Remedies, Herbal Therapies (20 of my top herbs regarding IC).
