I am drinking Ginger tea every day, fresh grated, and I fill a pitcher and usually just 2 cups per day in between Breakfast and lunch, then between Lunch and dinner. I have been doing this for over a month and have definitely seen steady improvement from cramp feeling, and even some pain that would wake me at night. I do try to eat smaller meals, and suggested foods. I also use Blackstrap Molasses in my tea both to sweeten it a bit, and BSM also is known to help Spleen issues. I will try to let you know of my progress. I am only feeling a fullness in that area now, and it doesn't hurt anymore when I cough. I did have an upper GI, and an Ultra-sound, which neither that or the bloodwork showed any abnormalities, but I feel it, so I turned to alternative medicine to help me. Thank you Earthclinic.

I don't have a cure yet;) but I am very hopeful. I've started the Blackstrap Molasses as well as fresh, ground ginger (so far, just in tea with the ginger). I don't mind just taking the molasses on it's own. I like the taste enough even though it is pretty rich as many of you know.
My spleen has bothered me for about 4 months now, and my doctor sort of put it off (having a cat-scan or whatever) because I also had Acid Reflux, and blood workup showed a borderline hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, and high cholestrol. I'm doing this on my own because I truly feel confident the natural remedies will be much better.
It's hard to keep the faith, I won't lie, when I feel that lump pressing against my left, lower rib. My doc had me on synthroid and Lipitor but I only took them the last, 2 weeks. I felt worse than before I took them, and my body felt fatigued and muscles were stiff. I also was have odd pains in especially my left hand, but in other areas as well.
I walk 2 miles about 4-6 days a week, and I do strength training (light, free-weights) and I know the difference between my bod is feeling tired from exercise and not enough nourishment, and something "foreign" effecting me negatively.
I will do my best to keep up on this thread so we can see the progress I make with the spleen issue:)
Enlarged Spleen Due to Portal Hypertension and Cirrhosis as a Chemo Side Effect Chela (Peru) on 11/19/2015
I want to know if anyone has tried onion juice (6ml) with lemon juice (10ml). I've been searching in google and found that is very effective, but want to make sure it is. My father has portal hypertension, cirrhosis splenomegaly and esophageal varices caused by chemo treatment (for colon cancer with liver metastases, but now his almost cured of it).
I've also read that papaya, dandelion tea are great for enlarged spleen.
Oil Pulling for Enlarged Spleen Emilia (Los Angeles, Ca) on 07/10/2013
I've had a nasty virus or flu. I was totally lacking energy like feeling I would just drop dead! I took some iron thinking it would help with my energy issues but then my spleen became enlarged. Very scary as I don't have health insurance. I read the article on Oil Pulling and remember trying it before and decided to give it a try! Used some VCO, was able to maintain the swishing for about 12 minutes and to my surprise the swelling was completely gone. Not only that but the rest of my abdominal area went flat. It's only been just once but I think this is a winner! By the way a chiropractor I went to yesterday gave me an adjustment with applied kinesiology and recommended high doses of Vit D, which really helped and got me over the energy issue. Here's to getting better!

My brother -n- law had to have his speen taken out and the doctor told him to take 1 TBLS. of black molassa's a day. He is doing that and seems to be ok and recovery went fast.

I would like to know if there is a cure / remedy for a spleen that is not working correctly or which appears to be enlarged. Also what would have caused this and if it would affect the size of your stomach.
