Hemorrhoid Treatments - How to Ease Hemorrhoid Pain

!±8± Hemorrhoid Treatments - How to Ease Hemorrhoid Pain

People who suffer from hemorrhoids go through a lot of discomfort and embarrassment, and some even find it hard to talk about it. This should not make you live with it but it is good for you to look for a solution once and for all to end your misery. One of the most common treatments of getting rid of hemorrhoids is by using ointments and creams.

These creams are usually applied on the affected area of the anus so the blood vessels and the tissue relax and reduce the chances of getting a rupture. This has helped several people get relief of hemorrhoids but it is not a permanent solution.

There is another form of treatment known as anal suppositories. It is used for treating internal hemorrhoids by inserting it inside the anal in order to provide moisture that has a lubrication effect which will help in reducing the possibility of a rapture do the blood vessels during healing. This one also has also helped in relieving the effect of hemorrhoids but is only a temporary solution.

The use of prescription pills in another way of dealing with hemorrhoids. The pills tighten the blood vessels during the healing process so as to reduce swelling and blood pressure. This will help to ease the pain but the pills are known to have either side effect that may prove to be a healthy hazard. It is important that you consult with a doctor before trying them out.

Another method is the strangulation method or surgery. These are medical procedures that are used in a case of severe hemorrhoids. The surgical procedure involves removing the hemorrhoids by that is cutting off the infected tissue. Strangulation is done by tying an elastic band at the bottom of the hemorrhoid so as to prevent blood supply to the tissue. The tissue will eventually die and be expelled from the body during a normal bowel movement. This method gets rid of hemorrhoids fast but is quite expensive.

There is a natural treatment that you can use at the comfort of your home which involves mixing certain plant products and other natural ingredients. One of the commonly used natural plants is the witch hazel the components in the plant help reduce hemorrhoids by simply soaking it in the infected area for a while. As long as you know the procedures involved there are many methods of making preparing natural treatment for hemorrhoids.

Ice placing is another method that provides relief and reduces swelling. You only place an ice pack on the infected area which will cool the tissue causing immediate relief. Using a Vicks Vapor Rub is also used by applying it directly to the hemorrhoids in which you will feel a burning sensation which will later reduce and cool the inflamed area. These methods do not get rid of hemorrhoids completely; therefore if you are looking for a permanent solution, you should improve your life style by eating the right kinds of food and in the right amounts.

How to Cure a Toe Nail Fungus

!±8± How to Cure a Toe Nail Fungus

If you get a nail fungus, it is just tough to get rid of. Medication really doesn't penetrate the toenail and a lot of times you end up spreading it to your other toes. When you cut your toenails, either cut the one with the fungus last or wash the clippers in alcohol between cutting each of the toenails to clean off any fungus. See, if you cut a toenail with fungus on it, the fungus can get stuck on the clippers. Then when you go to cut another toenail, you get the fungus on another toe. So don't do that, that's rule #1. You also don't want to clean the dirt out from under the nails because there is a good possibility of cross contamination, just like with the clippers. If you do that, clean whatever you are using with alcohol.

Fungus looks like a discoloring or a thickening of the nail. There normally isn't any pain involved but it just looks ugly. If it gets too bad, the nail could fall off because the fungus sort of detaches it from the nail bed.

Going to the podiatrist, the doctor may try to cut the nail short enough to get rid of the fungus, just kind of dig it out. There are a few commercially available antifungals that can be prescribed but, really, they just don't work all that well. I've made some compounds with iodine, terbinafine, an antifungal tablet, and DMSO. Honestly, I haven't seen any prescription product work really well, or any over the counter antifungals either.

I've recommended this treatment a couple times since reading about it on the internet. My customers, the ones who followed it, say that it works. So what you need to do is go to the grocery store and buy a couple bags of Epsom salts, toenail clippers, and a nail file. Cut the infected nail as short as possible and then file it down, on the top of the nail, making it thin over the fungus. Make sure you don't go too deep when you file, if you do, it hurts.

A minimum of once a day, two is better, and three is even better, soak your toes in hot water with a good amount of Epsom salts, maybe ½ cup or something in a shallow pan. The water needs to be as hot as you can tolerate. Soak them for at least 20 minutes, 30 is better. So, try for three times a day for 30 minutes in hot water. To make it even better, just pour that Epsom salt right on the toenail. Get as much touching that infected toe as possible, bury it if you have to.

If you sit at a desk all day or do something where you can just soak your feet all day, that's fine. Keep them in the water as often as possible and just keep heating the water in the microwave or adding hot water. Try putting a towel under one end of the pan so that the water is deeper towards the toes and your heal is out of the water. It's not necessary to do this but soaking the heal of your foot for a long time will have the tendency to soften the skin of your heal and that could cause pain when you walk, you want your heal to be tough.

When doing this treatment, you want to keep your feet out of shoes and socks as much as possible. The fungus grows in a warm, moist environment so avoid that situation. Wear sandals as much as you can and keep your toes dry between treatments. Try to keep your feet out of shoes, put them on at the last minute before work, take them off at lunch, take them off while driving, things like that until the fungus is gone.

After you are done soaking, you don't have to throw away the water with the Epsom salts in it. You can use the same water for a few days, maybe even a week. Just add some water as it evaporates.

You also want to file that nail down just about every day. You want there to be as little room or as thin a nail possible between the water and the fungus. That just makes it easier for the Epsom salts to do their work. So file, cut, file, cut, keep it short and thin.

I'm not going to tell you that this is going to take care of the fungus overnight, or even in a week. This is a tough one, this nail fungus. It can take over a month for this to work. Another thing that you may want to try is putting Vicks Vapor rub on your toes in the morning after your soak and before bed. Some people say that the Vicks prevents the fungus from growing but I don't really have any proof either way on that one.

Natural Remedies For Babies and Toddlers

!±8± Natural Remedies For Babies and Toddlers

Being a nurse I have had the common habit of having 'every' drug in the cupboard for health problems or emergencies! However, in the last few years I've become aware of alternate ways of dealing with symptoms and problems and I'm now more likely to 'think outside the square' and search for a 'natural' alternative such as chiropractic, Cranio-sacral therapy, herbal, Bach flowers, food intolerances, vitamins and minerals rather than an over the counter drug.

I love the nature of my work and the individual challenge that each baby presents to me. While common issues and problems appear consistently in general age/ developmental stages, I still look at each baby in as an individual and make sure that I am dealing with a routine or strategy issue and not a health problem. Sometimes parents want me to solve the sleeping issue when there is a genuine medical reason for the problem but more often the child presents with a history of 'survival' strategies that mum and dad put in place and we need to work on a new plan that "gives mum and dad their life back". Let's look at some common issues and how we can deal with them.

Pain, Reflux, Colic, Bedwetting.
I am often referring the generally unsettled, reflux, colicky babies, babies who protest at floor play, babies unable to hold their head up independently and older children who are bed-wetter's to a paediatric chiropractor for spinal checks. Remember that the spine channels the nerves around the body to the organs, so it makes sense that if the spine is out of alignment (from the birth process, a fall or physical trauma) that there may be a nerve being pinched that is causing pain or unwelcome sensations in the body (hence the reflux, colic, headache, sore neck, unstable bladder etc).

This group also respond well to homeopathic remedies such as Brauer's 'colic relief' and 'stomach calm'.

Unexplained night time alertness and food reactions.
Then there is the increasing number of children who are in a fantastic, organized daily routine, eating and playing well, consistent parenting and communication but they are waking up in the middle of the night, looking and acting like they have had 12 hours sleep! Or the children with eczema, skin rashes and other reactions after eating.

I refer all of these children to an immunologist for allergy testing. While this may seem extreme or unusual, with the changes to our food sources and the colouring, preservatives and additives in our foods a lot of our children are not coping. Unfortunately the usual treatment for eczema is a prescription cream and bucket loads of expensive lotions for during and after the bath. But doesn't it make sense to look for the source of the eczema or the possible diet related night waking rather than waiting for the child to 'grow out of it' or mum and dad to go insane and send the child off to boarding school! Many children are reportedly reacting to the preservatives in the bread they are eating or the salicylates, amines and yeast etc even in the fruits, vegetables and salads they are eating or not receiving the right amounts of vitamins or minerals in their diet. Yes they are healthy foods!

Mums, if you are feeling that your body isn't feeling 'normal' or you suspect that you may be going through early menopause due to your symptoms, have your hormone levels checked and do some research.

Anxious, stressed or emotional babies.
For the babies who are anxious and appear stressed or have unusual separation anxiety (remembering that children reflect the parent's emotions) I refer mothers and babies to a Cranio-sacral therapist or a homeopath. Cranio-sacral therapy is a gentle light-touch therapy to align the malleable bones of the cranium (skull) with the rest of the spine down to the sacrum and pelvis. This therapy encourages the body's natural healing mechanisms to improve the function of the central nervous system and deepen the sense of relaxation.

A homeopath offers Bach flower remedies to counteract your symptoms and help your health return to a state of balance. Looking at the cause of your ill health rather than just treating the symptoms.

Tip:

Handy Natural 'alternatives' that I recommend

To stop a dry cough in babies and adults

For babies over three months Rub INFANT Vicks Vapour Rub generously on the soles of your babies feet and cover with socks. For children over two years and adults rub the normal Vicks Vapour Rub generously on the soles of your feet and cover with socks. Reapply when you feel it has worn off. Don't know how it works but it does. (Remember that some coughs are due to a runny nose running down the back of the throat and this is difficult to stop until the nose stops running).

Anxious, Unable to sleep, In pain, Injured??
Rescue Remedy is a 'Bach Flower' homeopathic preparation widely used as a spray or a dropper bottle and applied under the tongue or rubbed on the wrist. Use on any age. It works by instantly relaxing the nerves and calming the mind. No Maximum doses, use as needed. I keep a spray bottle in my medicine cabinet and in my handbag.

Want to keep mozquitoes away?
Listerine mouthwash! Purchase a spray bottle from the gardening section of your supermarket and pour in the Listerine straight, not diluted. Mozzies hate it apparently and it's safe to spray everywhere.
