Allergies - Discovering Effective Natural Remedies
Today, it is common practice among many doctors to label anything they cannot successfully diagnose as an "allergy". This is because so little is known about allergies that the diagnosis leaves plenty of room for discussion and explanation. "Indeterminate" diagnoses have always been preferred by less responsible doctors. Two hundred years ago, the undiagnosed condition was called "bad humor," and anyone who suffered from stomach pains like cancer or gallstones was told their humor was bad. This was followed by the "acid" theory, where strange and mysterious acids were responsible for all undiagnosed conditions. This does not mean that allergies do not exist. There is certainly a special group of bodily reactions that have been given the name, allergies. More precisely, there are two such groups: those that are localized on the surface of the body, from the face to the feet, or skin allergies; and those that inhabit the area of the chest, throat, and nose, or respiratory allergies. These two groups comprise the majority of allergic reactions. In the respiratory group, common conditions would be hay fever, asthma, sinusitis, etc. These conditions are concentrated in the respiratory system, but some (especially hay fever and sinus conditions) tend to spread to other areas, such as the eyes, which can tear, redden and swell with a severe attack.
Low-potency (natural) vitamin C pills, as well as B complex, have proven effective in treating these allergies. Skin allergies, urticaria, and urticaria, as examples, are to some extent related to an over-acidic state of the body. Not to be confused with the "mystery acids" of a century ago that were conveniently blamed for most diseases. The acids I am talking about are produced directly in the body and consumed day after day in the daily diet. A rational diet with its balanced intake and natural form will not promote acidification. To overcome this condition, when it already exists in the body, it is necessary to completely cleanse the system. Herbal laxative pills (1-2 per day for three days); mild enemas (1 per day, per week), and the Return to Nature diet will provide the thorough sweep that the hyper-acidic condition requires. Recommendations included daily natural baths with special emphasis on the affected area. Pressure (rinse) baths on the affected area and gentle (not too violent) rubbing after the bath were effective. Where the skin was particularly dry, a few drops of olive oil were applied. Patients with skin allergies were advised to soften the water used for bathing with a cup of starch. Baking soda should never be used to soften water for sensitive skin as it is alkaline and will have a drying and destructive effect over time. Dry skin should not be bathed too often or for a long time. Bathing should be a quick affair and olive oil can help reduce sebum loss. You should treat yourself to air baths often as a substitute for the daily water baths that you may miss. Internet search engine Wellness has millions of hits - from mental to physical health.
