How to Cure Bruises | Bruise Treatment
What is Bruises:
A bruise is a common skin injury that results in breakage of blood vessels under the skin. Blood from damaged blood vessels beneath the skin collects near the surface of the skin resulting in what we recognize as a black and blue mark. A bruise is also known as a contusion or a hematoma.
A bruise is a common skin injury that results in breakage of blood vessels under the skin. Blood from damaged blood vessels beneath the skin collects near the surface of the skin resulting in what we recognize as a black and blue mark. A bruise is also known as a contusion or a hematoma.
A bruise can sometimes be associated with a temporary raised
area in the skin. When a bruise fades, it becomes green and brown as the body
metabolizes the blood cells and bilirubin pigment in the skin. A bruise is best
treated with local application of a cold pack immediately after injury.
What Causes Bruising:
Bruises can occur in some people who exercise rigorously, such as athletes and weight lifters. These bruises result from microscopic tears in blood vessels under the skin. Certain illnesses and diseases can cause bruising.

Remedies for Bruises:
* Apply and rub in apple cider vinegar (preferably organic unfiltered apple cider vinegar) to the bruised area.
* Applying black pepper oil to the bruise will also draw the blood away from it.
* As soon as you get injured, apply Star Olive Oil to the sensitive spot. For minor bumps, it can help prevent a bruise from appearing.
* Make a compress and soak it in vinegar to alleviate the bruise and swelling. Avoid getting it in the eyes.
* Apply butter (not margarine!) immediately after getting bruised.
* Make a poultice of roasted onions and apply to the bruise.
* If your bruise has a ruptured blood vessel, apply Orajel. The numbing agent in it will reduce discoloration and also constrict the blood vessels back to normal.
* Macerate and heat some cabbage and apply to the affected area.
* Make a poultice of mustard and apply to the bruise. It will draw the blood away from the bruise.
* Apply a cream or a tincture of calendula to the bruise.

It can occur almost anywhere on or in the body, but it most frequently occurs on the skin and on the gums of the mouth. Abscesses can be very tender and painful and are marked by inflammation, swelling, heat, redness, and often fever.
An abscess occurs when the body tries to fight an infection
within the tissues of the body, sending white blood cells to fight further
infection. The blood cells collect around the site of infection, accumulating to
form pus. Abscesses frequently form on the skin, the most commonly known type is
a boil. Inside the body, abscesses can be much more serious, causing damage to
tissues and organs.
Abscess Symptoms:
The symptoms of an abscess depend on where it develops in your body.
If you have a skin abscess, you may have the following symptoms.
• A smooth swelling under your skin that can feel hard or firm
• Tenderness in the affected area
• Pain, warmth and redness (erythema) in the affected area
• An open wound or closed sore
• Pus in the affected area that appears white or yellow or may drain from the affected area
• A high temperature (fever) of 38C (100.4F) or above
• Chills

Abscess Causes:
Abscesses may be caused by many different bacteria, fungi, or protozoans, which are kinds of disease causing microbes. Abscesses result from infections that are or become localized or confined to one part of the body, as opposed to infections that spread throughout the body.

Abscess Remedies:
* Drink adequate quantity of water so that the bad toxins can be removed properly and there will be proper healing of abscess.
* If you have an abscess, there are some very effective basic steps you can take to treat it with home remedies.
* Take a slice of peeled potato(about 1 in. thick) and place it over the abscess or boil and secure it there with tape. Leave it on there for a couple hours and it will pull the poison out. You can see the poisons on the potato.
* Apply antibiotic ointment once the pus has drained, and bandage the abscess. Bacitracin ointment is commonly used as a home remedy and works well to treat lanced abscesses.
* Eat plenty of steamed leafy green vegetables to ensure that you are taking proper quantity of vitamins and minerals needed for healing.
* Apply a cloth soaked in one part lobelia and three parts mullein in warm water to bring the affected area to a head. Puncture lightly with a sterilized needle, and wash gently. Garlic oil will help defend against infection. Apply vitamin E oil twice a day to speed the healing process.
* Use heat, the number one home remedy to treat abscesses, to bring the abscess to a head. Place a clean, warm face cloth over the boil for 20 minutes at least three times a day. Rotate face cloths to maintain consistent heat. Warm compresses will bring the abscess to a head.
* 3o drop echinacea tincture 6o drop.a yerba mania tincture 1 cup warm water. Combine all the ingredients. Take up to five times per day to stimulate the immune system and help eliminate the infection.
* 1 to 2 teaspoons barberries 1 tablespoon white oak bark 1 teaspoon echinacea root 1 teaspoon granulated Oregon grape root 2 cups boiling water. Combine the herbs in a glass container. Pour the boiling water over the herbs and soak for 3 to 4 hours; strain. Use three times a day as a wash. If you are using this tea to treat a gum abscess, be sure to swish the liquid around in your mouth for several minutes before spitting it out.
* Thick slices of raw onion can be placed on the boil and covered with a cloth. The onion should be replaced every three hours until the abscess comes to a head and bursts,
* Avoid all fried foods and all the food stuffs which contain refined sugar as these slow down healing process.
* Keeping the skin clean, eating a proper diet, and getting regular exercise can also help treat and prevent skin abscesses. Each of these actions helps keep the immune system strong, improving its ability to fend off infections or illnesses that may lead to skin abscesses.

Athletes Foot Treatment
What is Athlete's Foot:
Athlete's foot is a very common infection that affects mostly men and young people. Athlete's foot attacks the area between toes, soles of feet fingernails and toenails. This infection is cause by a fungus called tinea pedis it lives off the dead skin cells, and thrives in moist, warm places, such as gyms, locker rooms, showers and swimming pools.

Athlete's foot is also very contagious and is transmitted by coming in contact with wet floors, or by touching infected shoes or socks.
Athlete's foot can also spread to the palms of your hands,
groin, or underarms if you touch your feet and then touch another area of your
body. Athlete's foot doesn't just aggravate athletes; anyone whose feet tend to
be damp or sweaty can get this infection. The fungi that cause athlete's foot
thrive in warm, moist environments.
Athlete’s Foot Symptoms:
Many individuals with athlete's foot have no symptoms at all and do not even know they have an infection. Many may think they simply have dry skin on the soles of their feet. Common symptoms of athlete's foot typically include various degrees of itching and burning. The skin may frequently peel, and in particularly severe cases, there may be some cracking, pain, and bleeding as well. Rarely, athlete's foot can blister.

Home Remedies for Athletes Foot:
* Dilute a cup of apple cider vinegar with an equal amount of water. Use this diluted solution to wash the affected skin. Apple cider vinegar is acidic in nature and can easily help kill off the fungal strains that cause the infection.
* Drink pau d'arco tea and soak your feet in a more concentrated form about 10 tea bags.
* Disolve 6 aspirins in 1/2 a cup of rubbing alcohol, shake well and apply on clean, dry feet. Repeat three times a day for three days or until athlete's foot is gone.
* Dry between your toes after swimming or bathing.
* Wear cotton socks to absorb sweat. Change your socks twice a day. (White socks do not prevent athlete's foot, as some people believe.)
* When indoors, wear socks without shoes.
* Fill a basin with one quart of water and add two spoons of betadine in the basin. Soak your feet in the warm water and betadine solution to get rid of any microbes in your feet. This also helps prevent bacterial infections from spreading in your feet and making you sick.
* Wear shower sandals in public pools and showers.
* Olive Leaf Extract comes from the olive tree which manufactures its own potent antibiotic substances to fend off disease causing bacteria, fungus and parasites. Olive Leaf Extract is an excellent antiviral agent. Olive Leaf Extract may be useful for herpes, flu, bacteria, malaria, fungal and yeast infections, inflammation, high blood pressure, diabetes, chronic fatigue and colds.
* Use talcum or anti-fungal powder on your feet.

Psoriasis Treatment | Cure for Psoriasis | How to Treat Psoriasis
What is Psoriasis:
Psoriasis is a noncontagious skin condition that produces red, dry plaques of thickened skin. The dry flakes and skin scales are thought to result from the rapid proliferation of skin cells that is triggered by abnormal lymphocytes from the blood . Psoriasis commonly affects the skin of the elbows, knees, and scalp.

The dry flakes and skin scales are thought to result from the rapid proliferation of skin cells that is triggered by abnormal lymphocytes from the blood . Psoriasis commonly affects the skin of the elbows, knees, and scalp.
Psoriasis is a medical condition that occurs when skin cells
grow too quickly. Faulty signals in the immune system cause new skin cells to
form in days rather than weeks. The body does not shed these excess skin cells,
so the cells pile up on the surface of the skin and lesions form.
Types of Psoriasis:
Psoriasis is a common and chronic skin disorder. Plaque psoriasis is the most common type of psoriasis and is characterized by red skin covered with silvery scales and inflammation. Patches of circular to oval-shaped red plaques that itch or burn are typical of plaque psoriasis. The patches are usually found on the arms, legs, trunk, or scalp but may be found on any part of the skin. The most typical areas are the knees and elbows.

Skin is the most important organ of our body whose care and health is very essential. Skin adopts weather effects frequently that can also result in harm to it. Specially winter season badly dries our skin and snatches its attraction as well.
Dry skin is one of the most common skin problems. In order to
stay soft and supple your skin needs to retain its natural moisture. But when
exposed to direct sunlight in summer or harsh weather (cold and wind) in winter,
when the central heating dries out the skin, it quickly loses its natural
moisture and oils, becomes dry and chapped.
Dry Skin Causes:
1. The oil glands do not supply enough lubrication to the skin. As a result, the skin becomes dehydrated.
2. Skin gets exposed to the elements especially in winter.
3. Dry skin could be due to a genetic condition.

winters the skin becomes dry and irritated causing eczema.
Here are some skin care tips for making your skin
comfortable in winter.

1. One good option would be to put moisture back into the air. A humidifying system can help your skin remain supple instead of cracked and dry. You can buy a system from your local drug store.
2. Don’t say goodbye to your sunscreen just because summer is over. Before you leave your house, apply a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 15 or more. This will protect your skin from the elements. Alternatively, choose a product can combines a sunscreen with a moisturizer.
3. Applying moisturizer immediately after taking a shower or washing your face will help lock-in moisture.

5. Although it doesn’t taste very great flaxseed oil can
moisturize your body from the inside. Since it is rich in vital fatty acids it
can do a lot for your overall health. It is available in oil form as well as in
capsule form.
6. Gloves help in protecting your skin against dryness. Some people believe that if you wear a cotton mitten next to the skin and a woolen mitten over the cotton one, it keeps hands warm and dry.
7. Dr.Shamban says you should never shower, bath or wash your face with extremely hot water. It can not only break the capillaries in the face, but also break down the lipid barriers in the skin, which will lead to a loss of moisture.
8. Besides keeping you warm, a hat will hold in moisture and protect your scalp from dry air and flaking. Make sure your hat is not too tight and made of breathable material.
9. Just because it’s cold out doesn’t mean the sun isn’t strong, especially when it can reflect off snow. Dr. suggests applying an SPF 15-30 to your face (and hands if they’re exposed) about 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply if you’re spending the day outside.
10. Liquid foundation can actually freeze! “One of the benefits of using cream is that it will give your skin an extra protective layer and help keep the moisture in your skin.

Protect Your Skin During Summer
1. 8 glasses of water daily, besides juices or other fluids.
2. Try to avoid running between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun's intensity is at its greatest.
3. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, especially those which are rich in vitamin C, which plays a major role in keeping the skin looking healthy.
4. Slather on your sunscreen at least 20 minutes before you head out for your run. Your skin needs time to absorb the lotion.
5. Eat vitamin E-rich foods, such as almonds, walnuts, and avocado. Vitamin E helps keep the skin moist and prevents its dehydration.
6. You can get a sunburn in as little as 15 minutes, so don't think doing a short run means you don't need sunscreen.
7. Avoid highly salted foods, and avoid adding extra salt to your food.
8. A good pair of UV blocking running sunglasses give your face more protection and also help protect your eyes from the sun's damaging rays.

Dust Mite Allergy Control | Dust Mites Treatment
Dust mites (sometimes called bed mites) are the most common cause of allergy from house dust. They belong to the family of eight legged creatures called arachnids that also includes spiders, chiggers and ticks. Dust mites are hardy creatures that live and multiply easily in warm, humid places.
Dust Mite Allergy Symptoms:
Usual symptoms are respiratory in nature, usually not a rash. However, there are reports of a red rash around the neck. The wheeze inducing proteins are digestive juices from the mite gut and are potent allergens. An exposure to the mites in the first year of a infants life can trigger a lifelong allergy.
Causes of Dust Mite Allergy:
Dust mite allergy is not caused due to the bites of dust mites. Our body gets allergies by the waste matter released by the dust mites, and the decayed bodies of dust mites, which is then inhaled by us.
Dust Mite Allergy Remedies:
* Cover your mattress and pillows in dust proof or allergen blocking covers. These covers, made of tightly woven fabric, prevent dust mites from colonizing or escaping from the mattress or pillows.
* Wash all sheets, blankets, pillowcases and bed covers in hot water that is at least 130 F (54.4 C) to kill dust mites and remove allergens.
* Avoid bed covers that trap dust easily and are difficult to clean frequently.
* Use a damp or oiled mop or rag rather than dry materials to clean up dust. This prevents dust from becoming airborne and resettling.
* If it collects dust, it also collects dust mites. Remove knickknacks, tabletop ornaments, books, magazines and newspapers from your bedroom.
