Reiter's Syndrome

What you need to know:

As so many young people are becoming sexually active at a young age, it’s no surprise that this condition is becoming more common among teenagers. There are no specific natural remedies or complementary therapies to treat it, but some herbs may help reduce the inflammation.

The most useful Herbs:

  • Birch
  • Black cohosh
  • Meadowsweet
  • Poplar
  • Willow
  • Devil’s claw
  • Ginger - extracts of the medicinal Chinese variety of this herb

Homoeopathy

The homoeopathic remedies Bryonia, Guaiacum and Rhododendron can also bring relief, but as this condition has so many varied symptoms, it’s worth consulting a homoeopath or a doctor who’s also trained in homoeopathy rather than buying over-the-counter preparations.

Dietary changes that may be beneficial:

Cutting out red meat, game and coffee can also help.
