Surgery is an option that most people do everything they can to  			avoid, but in some cases, this is the only and most beneficial  			method to relieve your pain and improve your quality of life.  			Surgery should be an option you explore only after there are no  			other avenues left to utilize. Surgery can be a very scary part of  			life and not understanding the process fully can increase your  			anxiety and make you feel that much more uncomfortable regarding the  			entire process. Whether this is your first surgery or you have  			experienced surgery before, it is always important to understand why  			there is no other way to 		 	 	cure your ailments and how the surgery will work during and for your  	recovery stages as well.    Once you have received all the necessary information regarding your health  	and your medical options and see that surgery is the only option for you,  	than there are many natural supplements and herbs that can help you prepare  	for your surgery. By choosing to take natural supplements and herbs before  	and after your surgery you are greatly reducing your health risks that can  	be associated with surgeries of any kind during the recovery process. It is  	important to take note that your general health and eating habits before  	your surgery can make a big difference when it comes to how you recover  	after the surgery.     You want to make sure you are consuming nothing but healthy foods before and  	after the surgery and avoid taking drugs such as Aspirin that can thin the  	blood. Take a look at the different natural supplements that can help you  	prepare and recover from your surgery without complications of any kind.   
  
- Coenzyme Q10 is known as a free radical eliminator that can  				help improve the oxygenation of tissue within the body. You can  				take this supplement in dosages of 60 mg daily.
 
 
- Essential Fatty Acids can help improve the growth of cells  				within the body as well as aid in healing damaged cells.
 
 
- Free-From Amino Acid Complex is essential when it comes to  				healing wounds.
 
 
- Garlic is the natural antibiotic that can be taken 3 times a  				day, 2 capsules each dosage. Use Kyolic by Wakunaga of America.
 
 
- L-Cystine increases the speed of healing for wounds within  				the body.
 
 
- L-Lysine also increases the speed of healing as well as  				creating more collagen within the body needed for healing skin  				tissues.
 
 
- Vitamin C is vital when it comes to promoting proper immune  				function.
 
 
- Vitamin E can improve circulation within the body and repair  				skin tissues at the same time. Vitamin E  should not be  				taken 2 weeks prior to surgery. Begin the day following your  				surgery and always use the d-alpha-tocopherol form.
 
 
- Hypnotherapy can be used as an effective method of mental  				preparation prior to  				surgery and should also be used after surgery to help the  				healing process. According to a study published in the  American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, participants who used  				hypnosis healed faster than those who didn't use it. I highly  				recommend the use of hypnosis as part of an overall regimen.
