by MedExpert on November 4th, 2007 Alternative therapy should be complementary to antibiotic therapy. For pain relief, an experienced practitioner may apply castor oil packs, or use acupressure or acupuncture. Some herbs, such as Echinacea (Echinacea spp.) and calendula (Calendula officinalis) are believed to have antimicrobial activity and may be taken to augment the action of prescribed antibiotics. General tonic herbs, as well as good nutrition and rest, are important in recovery and strengthening after an episode of PID. Blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides) and false unicorn root (Chamaelirium luteum) are recommended as tonics for the general well-being of the female genital tract. Source: The Gale Group.
