All skin
diseases, including acne, are the outcome of malfunctioning of the body
as a whole.
|
|
|
Acne
is characterized by the presence of comedones or blackheads,
pimples, small superficial sebaceous cysts and scars. There are over half
a dozen forms of acne. All of them are concerned with sebaceous glands or
the glands connected with hair follicles. The most common form of acne is
blackheads. The areas chiefly affected are the forehead, temples, cheeks,
and chin, the chest and back. In rare cases, almost the entire body may be
covered with black heads with extensive scarring. |

Allergies..........
|
An ‘allergy’ can be described as
sensitiveness of the body to a substance which does not normally affect other persons. |
|
|
The
symptoms of allergy are as varied as the substances causing the reaction.
These include recurring headache, migraine, dizziness, irritability,
nervousness, depression, neuralgia, sneezing, conjunctivitis, diabetes,
eczema, heart-burn, hay fever, indigestion, constipation, diarrhoea,
gastric ulcer, asthma, overweight, high blood pressure, chest pain, heart
attacks, a stuffy or runny nose, shortness of breath, swelling
of the face and eyes,
etc. The same food can cause different symptoms in different people. Many
allergies are multiple and may be caused by multiple allergens. |
|
|
Allergies
: Apricot, grapes, carrot, beet and spinach.
|
|
Anaemia..........
|
It denotes a
shortage of rich red blood cells and colouring matter and usually results from consumption of refined foods. |
|
|
A
haggard look, with lines of strain, premature
wrinkles, grayish skin,
and dull and tired looking eyes are the main symptoms of anaemia. Other
symptoms include poor memory, weakness, dizziness, fatigue, lack of
energy, shortness of breath on exertion, slow healing of wounds,
headaches, mental depression, pale fingers, lips and ear lobes. The
patient usually complaints of weakness, easy fatigue, lack of energy and
dizziness. |

thrive in environments that are warm, moist and dark.
|
|
Boils
|
The
boils, known as Furuncle in medical parlance, are tender swellings
in the skin surrounded by large red areas. |
|
|
Boils
can occur anywhere on the body but they appear most often on the face,
eyelids, back of the neck, upper back and buttocks. They specially favour
places where clothing rubs such as the area on the collar line. Boils
occuring around the eyes and nose are
especially serious because their poison can
spread to the brain.

Cancer
|
The
word ‘cancer ‘ comes from the latin "carcinoma" meaning crab.
It is the most dreaded disease and refers to all malignant tumours caused by
the abnormal growth of a body cell or a group of cells .The term covers more
than 200 diseases.
|
|
|
The
symptoms of cancer vary according to the site of the growth. The American
Cancer Society has prescribed seven signs or
danger signals in general which may indicate the presence of cancer. These
are : a sore that does not heal ; change in bowel or bladder habits ;
unusual bleeding or discharge ; thickening or lump in breast or elsewhere ;
indigestion or difficulty in swallowing ; obvious change in a wart or a
mole, and a persistent and nagging cough or hoarseness. Other symptoms may
include unexplained loss of weight , particularly in older people, a change
in skin colour and changes in the menstrual periods, especially bleeding
between periods.

|
|
Corns
|
Repeated
friction at the same site makes the skin
thicker. As the friction continues, more and more keratin (skin protein)
is deposited.
|
|
Chicken
Pox |
Chicken
pox is a common infectious and highly
contagious disease of children. It occurs
more frequently in cooler weather.
|
|
|
Chick
pox usually begins with a low grade fever, a mild headache, loss of
appetite and a feeling of weakness. Then rashes appear on the skin, first
as tiny red spots,
mostly on the upper back or chest. In more severe cases, rashes may also
appear on the face and lower extremities. The spots turn into blisters
which finally become pustules and form scabs,
which fall off.
|
|
Dandruff........... |
These scales are formed from the
horny layer of the skin.
|
|
|
The
scaliness increases whenever the hair is brushed or rubbed. It may also
appear as lumps or crusts
on the scalp. Often
there is itching as well, and the scalp may become red from scratching.
|
|
Dermatitis.........
|
Dermatitis refers to an
inflammation of the skin, both external and internal. |
|
|
The
appearance of dermatitis varies according to its severity and the stage of
its evolution. The first symptom is erythema or redness.
This is usually followed by swelling
of the skin due to
oedema( excessive fluid retention ). Vesicle may appear thereafter .In
case of their rupture, their bases exude serum. This condition is known as
weeping dermatitis. Later, the serum dries up to form crusts. IN some
people the disease seems to come and go without any great change in the
skin itself.
|
|
Diabetes |
Diabetes
can cause changes in the tiny blood vessels near the skin.

Symptoms,
Causes, The Cure & Water Treatment |
|
|
It refers to an
inflammation
of the skin which results in the formation of vesicls or
pulstules. |
|
|
Eczema
in its acute form is indicated by redness
and swelling of the skin,
the formation of minute vesicles and severe heat. If the vesicles rupture,
a raw, moist surface is formed. From this, a colourless discharge oozes,
which forms skin crusts when it accumulates. The disease is usually worst
at night when the heat of the body is retained by the bed-clothes.
The skin itches at all stages. IN the wet stage, it may become infected
with bacteria. The healing of the condition is affected by scratching in
response tothe irritation. Scratching not only spreads infection but also
lengthens the stage of dryness and scaling. |
|
|
Eczema
: Red
grapes, carrot, spinach, cucumber and beet. |

Hair
|
Care of the Hair:
The hair is strongly governed by one’s physical condition. It has
been called the thermometer of the system. As the hair is ruled by the
body so bodily health
must be maintained if beautiful hair is desired.
|
|
|
Falling
Of Hair:
The most important cause of loss
of hair is inadequate
nutrition. |
|
|
Loss
of hair at a very
tender age has become a
common disorder these days.
Hair is formed in minute pockets in the skin, called follicles. An
upgrowth at the base of the folic, called the papilla, actually produces
hair ; when a special group of cells turn amino acids into keratin, a type
of protein of which hair is made. The rate of production of these protein
" building blocks." determines hair growth. The average growth
rate is about 1.2 cm per month , growing faster on women between the ages
15 and 30.
|
|
|
Premature
Greying Of Hair:
A
faulty
diet and mental worries are the two primary causes of premature
greying of hair. |
|
|
The
hair has a tendency to lose
its natural colour with
advancing age. It is therefore natural for the hair to turn grey with age.
But premature greying is a morbid condition and it makes even the young
look older.
The hair is an appendage of the skin. It is composed of the same kind of
cells as are found in the outer layer of the skin, known as epidermis. It
grows from a hair follicle which is a deep recess in the epidermis. The
sebaceous glands of the scalp secrete an oily substance called sebum,
which is the source of nutrition, lustre and blackness of the hair. The
hair cannot be fed externally, for such nourishment as the scalp requires
must come to it from the bloodstream.
|
|
Herpes Zoster
|
Herpes
Zoster is the medical term for ‘Shingles’.
It is a viral infection of the nerves that supply certain areas of the
skin.
|
|
|
|
|
Jaundice..........
|
There are several forms of
jaundice but all of them are marked by yellow
discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes. |
|
|
The
symptoms of jaundice are extreme weakness, headache, fever, loss of
appetite, undue fatigue, severe constipation,nausea and yellow
coloration of the eyes, tongue, skin and
urine. The patient may also feel a dull pain in liver region. |
|
|
Symptoms,
Causes & Treatment |
|
|
Jaundice

|
|
Leucoderma.....
|
Lecucoderma, also known as
vitiligo, is a distressing skin condition. The word literally means ‘ white
skin’. |
|
|
The
problem usually starts with a small white spot and later on it develops
into patches. These patches are pale in the beginning but become whiter
and whiter as time passes due to loss of pigment. As spots enlarge, they
merge into each other and, in course of time, form a very broad patch. In
some cases, most of the skin of the body may be covered with white
patches.
|
|
|

|
|
Measles..........
|
Measles is one of the most
contagious diseases, caused by a virus. |
|
|
The
first symptoms which appear during 7 to 14 days after exposure to the
virus are feverishness, cold, watering of the eyes and dry cough. Rashes
appear on the skin in three to five days after the onset of these
symptoms. These rashes, which consist of small rounded spots with reddened
skin in between, initially appear on the sides of the face and the neck
and then gradually spread all over the body, appearing last on the
extremities. Initially pink in colour, these rashes grow darker as time
passes.
|
|
Pruritus Vulvae |
Pruritus
literally means a sensation of itching and
vulva is the name given to the entrance to
the vagina. |
|
|
|
|
