Do not eat dairy foods, except for low-fat soured product like yogurt and cottage cheese. Dairy products increase mucus formation. Eliminate sugar from your diet. Reduce your salt intake. Go on a cleansing fast. Drink plenty of distilled water and fresh vegetable and fruit juices. Also consume plenty of hot liquids such as soups and herbal teas. These help the mucus to flow, relieving congestion and sinus pressure. Adding cayenne pepper, garlic, ginger, horseradish, and raw onion to soups or teas may bring even faster relief. Eat a diet consisting of 75 percent raw foods. If you are taking antibiotics for a sinus infection, be sure to add and acidophilus supplement to your program. Do not take the acidophilus and the antibiotic at the same time.

Just came back from Mexico. Had a nice vacation but couldn’t stop to think about what I’ve seen during my trip. In every airport, you can hear sneezing. People are complaining of red eyes and runny noses, itching and many others. I know, fall is coming and airports are not the best environment. It’s supposed to be like this…No, it doesn’t have to be like this. None of us has to suffer.

If you don’t have any allergies, you still have at least one friend that is struggling with this problem. Many years ago I was having some allergy problems. I started looking into a remedy and some of them worked really good.

For me, one of the best was Sitopaladi Churna – a traditional ayurvedic herbs mixture. The combination works for all three doshas: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. It is recommended for: colds, flu, fever, congestion and bronchial conditions. It’s working really fast and acting like an anti-allergic. You can also use it for strengthening the body and for coughing conditions (dry or not).

What does it contain? It’s a combination between: Bambusa Arundinacea (sort of a bamboo), Cinnamonum Zeylanicum (cinnamon), Elettaria Cardamomum (cardamom), Piper Longum (pippali) and Sugar candy.

Bambusa Arundinacea has anti-inflammatory properties. Cinnamon has antibacterial and antiseptic properties. It helps with breathing difficulties. Cardamon reduces mucus and helps in asthma cases. Piper longum works on strengthening the immune system and has analgesic and expectorant properties.

In Ayurveda is one of the best supportive in allergic and viral respiratory infections.

You can find it in Indian stores or even online. I wouldn’t recommend you to make the mixture yourself because you might not add the right quantities. You might make it too spicy or too sweet.

It can be taken twice per day – 2 teaspoonfuls, before the meals, usually with warm water or honey.

Herbs for Asthma

Asthma is a combination of many factors, including an immunological reaction and overstimulation of the parasympathetic nerves to the lungs, constricting the bronchial tubes.

Parasympathetic nerves originate in the hypothalamus, which is directly under the control of higher emotional centers. Emotions are playing an important role in the asthma attacks.

The emotion acts like a trigger. It activates the hypothalamus which is sending stimuli down the parasympathetic nerves and here you go, you’re already having an asthma attack. You have an emotion, you’re pushing the button on the hypothalamus. Don’t push it too hard!

Easiest cure would be to control your emotions and you will never have another asthma attack. Not so easy to do for some of us, right?

Then, let’s see what else you can do about these attacks.

One of the first things I would recommend would be: Chyavanprash.

This is an Ayurvedic combination made of: cane sugar, amalaki, honey, ghee, bilva, haritaki, gokshura, pippali, ashwagandha, shatavari, guduchi, musta, punarnava, cardamom, cinnamon, bamboo, brhati, bhumyamalaki, sati, patra, vasaka, nagakesara.

It is an excellent rejuvenative for both mind and body, strengthens the immunity, stimulates metabolism, works against effects of a stressful lifestyle but most of all has a special affinity for the lungs. It is used for conditions like: colds, flu, asthma, allergies, chest congestion and coughs.

Chyavanprash balances all three doshas: Vata, Pita, Kapha. You can take 1 teaspoon once or twice daily or as directed by your health practitioner. You can buy it in many natural or Indian stores or even online. I would recommend to read the label to be sure it doesn’t have any other things (like preservatives) added to the combination because some of the brands do that.

It looks and tastes like a fruit jam so don’t worry it won’t be something bad to taste.

Another easy thing that you could try is to mix fresh ginger juice with water and cane sugar. You boiled it until you obtain a syrup and add saffron, cardamom, nutmeg and cloves. The mixture is good for fever, colds, coughs, asthma but also for indigestion, colic, spasms and stomach pains.

Other healing herbs and spices that you could use for respiratory conditions are:

Indian Nightshade for: asthma, dry and spasmodic cough and chest pain. Turmeric for: chronic bronchial asthma. Do not use if pregnant, have excess Pitta or hepatitis. Black pepper for: asthma and sinuses congestion. It acts as a stimulant, expectorant and carminative. Use it in a milk decoction. Malabar Nut for: asthma, bronchitis, bronchial asthma, cough, voice, TB and flu.

As a general guideline, you can use two types of herbs: herbs with a drying effect – ginger, calamus, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, dry ginger, pippali, sage and herbs with a moisturizing effect – licorice, comfrey root, eucalyptus, thyme and wild cherry.

Don’t forget about fresh lemon juice that provides you with high doses of vitamin C and also garlic or onion juice (I know, not the best juice in the world but you can give it a try and you’ll feel much better).

Like always, please check with your physician before trying any of the things above.

If you have a symptom or illness and you’d like to read an article about that, just let me know and I’ll do my best. I will continue with these series of articles with advices on healing herbs for different conditions.

1. Excessive sweating has become an embarrassment. I’m not just talking about stains under your shirt on a hot or humid day. We all suffer from that and when you’re not alone in a situation just about everything can appear normal. What I mean is if your sweating makes you the target of derogatory comments or even “good natured” jokes. If you are self conscious about your sweating it’s time to seek treatment. There’s no reason your self respect should suffer at the hands of your perspiration.

2. Sweating in dry, cool, or even cold temperatures. If you are sweating excessively in comfortable conditions there is something wrong. The body gives many warning signs to indicate distress and perspiration is one of them. Hyperhidrosis itself is not life threatening and as a result prescription medications are rarely used to treat it. More than likely your sweating will be viewed as a sign by your doctor to indicate some other problem and you will be treated accordingly. That makes home treatments valuable for this particular condition.

3. Sweating makes you appear nervous. If you’re sweating profusely at the office and it’s a cool comfortable environment you need to take action. People are judgmental it’s a fact of life. It’s hard enough to be taken seriously with out having to deal with your body giving them ammunition.

Use of the antiperspirants
At times the exaggerated problem of sweating may call for you to see a doctor for prescriptions. Patients are cautioned against buying the anti-sweat products over the counter. Some antiperspirants may cause a burning sensation, and can irritate the skin. It is advisable that you strictly follow the doctor’s advice when using them.

Use of Botolinium Toxin
The method of using the Botolinium toxin has been very common in checking the problem of armpit excessive sweating. This requires the use of injections under the armpit. It is expensive and at times very painful

Use of Iontopheoresis
It is common to see people opting for this method, although it is temporary in its effect. Under this, electric current is delivered to your underarms. It is a good

Use of surgery
When the problem is too chronic and other methods seem to fail in the efforts to solve the problem, a person is likely to be tempted to go for surgery. It is recommended that this be the last resort. It is necessary particularly if the problem of sweat is affecting many parts of the body.

excessive sweating.

The first that comes to mind is that there’s no other options. We can all relate to situations like those in our lives. Boxed in a corner or hanging from a cliff, you reach for the hand held out to you. We don’t like it but we do what we have to and if fortune favors us it turns out right.

Another reason is if we know it works. Mixing caffeine and aspirin to help lose weight is a great example. It’s a simple way to thin the blood and speed up your heart rate to burn fat faster. Fitness buffs have been doing it for years.

Then there’s what to most of us is the important reason…All the other options are so dam expensive why would you consider anything else?

Here are 3 ways home remedies save time and money.

1 Night sweats are almost always viewed as a symptom of some other illness or a side effect of medication you are taking. As a result doctors will likely order a battery of tests to determine a causing illness and treat whatever they find leaving you to “sweat it out” while you wait for results.
2 Once a likely cause has been determined the medication prescribed for your ailment will need time to run its course. Your problem with night sweats will more often than not be brushed off as something that will improve as you get better. If you don’t find that answer satisfactory you will be free to a make follow up appointment to be told “once again” it’s a side effect that will improve over time.
3 Night sweats are the kind of problem you want solved right away. They interrupt sleep and reek havoc on your already hectic life. Home remedies can be accessed right away and without a doctors permission. We often forget the value of making our own decisions about our health needs until faced with the road blocks society lays in our path. At the rate we are going, chicken soup for a cold may require a prescription.

People afflicted by Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) of all kinds often find themselves in the position of treating the problem on their own. The reasons for this are complicated considering the straight forward problem they are up against.

The biggest reason is that sweating more than “normal” is often considered a symptom and not a “problem” to be treated. Doctors as they should, look for a cause or root problem and attempt to cure the perceived underlying illness. The Hyperhidrosis itself somehow gets swept under the rug so to speak. I can’t give you a definitive reason for this. As I said, It’s complicated. What I don’t quite understand is why they will treat the pain of a broken bone as well as set the break but that’s a whole different debate and maybe a bad analogy. I know quite a few physicians and they all do great work.

That being said. Night sweats often leave patients with little choice but to seek home remedies and that is not necessarily a bad thing. The old but true saying, “When you want something done right do it yourself” comes immediately to mind and in the case of taking care of your body who better?

Excessive sweating is not a disease and therefore can’t be cured. In almost every case of those afflicted with Hyperhidrosis their sweat secretion glands are perfectly normal and that’s why doctors often fail to treat this very real problem.

Many conditions that lack “cures” still have several viable treatments. All forms of cancer, eczema, and HIV are just a few of the most famous. Like its more famous cousins, Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) can be controlled and in many cases completely stopped.

Hyperhidrosis is in many cases a symptom of an underlying issue. Almost every illness know has excessive sweating as a call sign. It is for this very reason patients that suffer from night sweats are often treated for everything but the sweating itself. When people tell you to, “Rest up and get better.” it’s not just a cliche. Rest is a major component of the healing process and waking constantly from night sweats is a serious disruption to that much needed boost to your immune system.

Not every problem gets solved at the doctors office and not all conditions can be cured. By getting control of Hyperhidrosis and all of its many negative side effects you stand a much better chance of curing your underlying ailment and ending the cycle for good.

Three Things to Consider

1st) Home remedies will not cure or relieve an underlying condition. If a disease or malady is causing your night sweats you need to seek treatment from a professional. Curing symptoms can lead to ignoring the more serious issues so keep in mind your night sweats may be a “side-effect”.

2nd) Night sweats themselves are a serious problem. Waking several times during a sleep cycle leads to all kinds of problems; a week immune system, high stress and irritability, and difficulties staying focused just to name a few. They should be addressed sooner than later.

3rd) It’s not your doctors fault that he can’t help you. Doctors have to consider “the big picture” when it comes to your overall health needs. Though prescription drugs may be available to treat the sweating it’s possible they could interact with other medications you are taking or that the side effects to the root cause poses too much risk. As a result doctor rarely if ever can help with this particular problem.

There is good news however so don’t panic. Night sweats home remedies do work and for many people relief is as effective as it is affordable.

Before trying to seek treatments for excessive sweating, you should first find out what happens in the body to cause this perspiration. Sweating is actually a way for the human body to regulate temperature. Sweat glands produce sweat when instructed to do so by the nervous system, and excessive sweat is caused when the sweat glands produce more sweat than is necessary in order for your body temperature to cool. Some common causes of excessive sweat are one’s diet, mental and physical stress, and alcohol consumption, among other things.

Treatments for people who produce excessive sweat ranges from common over-the-counter topical treatments to surgery. For those who prefer antiperspirants, you can even get prescription medication in the form of aluminum chloride hexahydrate, which goes under the brand name, Drysol. If topical treatments are just not working, you can choose a procedure called Iontophoresis. During Iontophoresis, water and a mild electrical current to the skin of the hands or feet causes the skin to thicken on a microscopic level. As a result, this blocks sweat from going to the skin’s surface. If you think surgery is the way to go, there is more than one option from which to choose. You can choose to have your sweat glands removed or have what is called Endoscopic Thoracic Sympathectomy ( ETS ). Most physicians consider ETS a means of last resort because of the negative side effects associated with the procedure.

In conclusion, when determining the best way to stop excessive sweat, do an initial self examination. See if there is anything you are doing with regard to eating habits, stress in your life or other things that might be the cause of the perspiration, and that which you can control. You can then start to look for the best treatment that fits your needs and comfort level.

While the exact reason for this problem is not known clearly, it is believed this problem happens when the sympathetic nervous system continues to send signals to the sweat glands to cool the body even after sufficient cooling has been done already. When the sweat glands continue to get the trigger they produce sweat on a continuous basis.

To stop excessive sweating either the sympathetic nervous system needs to be corrected or the sweat glands need to be treated. To successfully cure hyperhidrosis a good starting point may be to try antiperspirant sprays. If this does not work then stronger prescription medicines that have higher concentration of aluminum chloride is normally administered.

If the problem is of moderate severity then these simple treatment options may not stop excessive sweating. A more detailed study and analysis will be required to cure hyperhidrosis of moderate severity. Depending on the area affected a treatment may be chosen.

Sometimes homeopathy, meditation, acupressure, relaxation and other herbal techniques are used to cure hyperhidrosis of moderate severity. Some of these treatments have been found to be effective.

For high severity cases specialty hyperhidrosis treatment is the only way to stop excessive sweating. This may be in the form of surgery, botox injections or iontophoresis. These treatment options are powerful but they don’t provide any kind guarantee. In the recent past several natural techniques have been able to stop excessive sweating successfully and these options may be worth trying.
