Pancreatitis can be associated with alcoholism, trauma, or infection of the biliary tract. The biliary tract and the gallbladder share the same duct, and it is this duct that often causes the problem, especially if the duct is blocked with gallstones. This is by no means always the case, however. Inflammation of the pancreas by the potent digestive enzymes created by the pancreas itself can cause it to attack its own tissues.
Drink vegetable juices, but avoid fruit juices because of their high sugar content.
Drink plenty of water, because dehydration can often be the root cause of this condition.
Eat lots of garlic.
Eat powdered digestive herbs—slippery elm inner bark, meadowsweet leaf, fennel seed, and licorice root.
Long-term herbs for the pancreas include cedar berry (Juniper monosperma), fenugreek seed, and licorice root.
Perform liver, kidney, and colon cleanses.
Use castor-oil packs directly over the pancreas.
Take hot and cold showers, especially directing the spray over the pancreas.
Look at the advice for diabetes for extra tips.
