Causes of AlcoholismAlcoholism Symptoms, Causes, Remedy and Diet
Occasional drink
An occasional alcoholic drink is the starting point for alcoholism. Over a period of time, a person who drinks occasionally gets habituated and regular drinking becomes the norm. Quite a lot of people have to indulge in social drinking due to societal and group pressure, while others find an escape route through drinking to evade responsibilities. They are under the misconception that drinking is a form of stress relief.
Alcoholism TreatmentAlcoholism home remedies and natural cures, Questions and answers
Alcoholism treatment using Grapes
The restricted diet of grapes for about a month is a vital home remedy for alcoholism. As this fruit contains a very pure form of alcohol, it acts like a healthy alternative to alcohol. The ideal process is to take three meals a day of fresh grapes every five hours. To make this treatment successful, the alcohol should develop strong will power to stop drinking.
Alcoholism treatment using Apples
Apples when eaten regularly and liberally help in removing intoxication and reduce craving for wines or any other kind of liquor.
Alcoholism treatment using Dates
Dates are beneficial in treating alcoholism. Rub together 3-4 dates in half a glass of water and have the alcoholic drink this two times a day for a period of about a month.
Alcoholism treatment using Bitter Gourd
Juice extracted from bitter gourd leaves is the perfect remedy for alcohol intoxication. It is basically useful for the damaged liver. Mix three teaspoons of the juice with a glass of butter milk and consume every morning for a month.
Alcoholism treatment using Celery
The juice of raw celery creates a sobering effect on the alcoholic patient. In half a glass of water, an equal quantity of celery juice should be mixed and consumed once everyday for a month. This is a very successful home remedy to cure alcoholism.
Diet for alcoholism recoveryAlcoholism : Home Remedies suggested by users
Build up body's nutritional integrity, juice fast
To prevent the patient from pining for stimulants like alcohol, it is most important to feed ample amounts of nutrients back in his body. To begin with, the patient should be put on purification juice-fast for at least ten days. As this fast will progress, the patient will steadily experience less craving. This will break his drinking pattern and preferably the patient should start on a diet of several small meals a day rather than three large ones. The alcoholic needs to exercise regularly and include outdoor activities in his daily schedule.
Optimum diet and fresh fruit juice
Even after the successful completion of the juice fast, the patient should continue to have an intake of fresh fruit juices and plenty of water. He should eat a healthy diet of such essential nutrients like wholegrain cereals, seeds and sprouts, fresh fruits, nuts and vegetables. Although at the beginning of the treatment, the patient should be given an appropriate replacement to alleviate the craving if and when it occurs. A glass of fresh fruit juice and eating healthy snacks like candy or Soya beans etc will curb his cravings which might increase the urge for drinking in the stages immediately after the treatment.
Avoid refined foods
Avoid refined food products such as white flour, white sugar, white rice, macaroni products. This can be substituted with brown rice, brown sugar, leafy vegetables and other whole grain products.
Other Suggestions and herbal treatments for alcoholism
Firm willingness of alcoholic to stop drinking
The alcoholic should be motivated to break the 'alcohol habit' through a strong determination to do so and by being consistent in maintaining his food habits. To try to give up alcoholism at once is almost impossible, so the alcoholic should make a firm decision to make a clean break out of the habit of drinking.
Warm-water enema and physical exercises
Take a warm-water enema daily to rinse out the bowels during the first ten days of the 'juice fast’. Plenty of rest and outdoor physical activities and exercises are recommended.
Avoid smoking
Avoid smoking as it increases the craving for alcohol.

Total Abstinance One Day At A Time
suggested by Christine on Wednesday, March 19, 2008
It is absolute rubbish to believe that there is any form of remedy for an alcoholic. The only known help which definitely works if you work it, is, Alcoholics Anonymous. The fellowship is in every country of the world. Just look it up in your city phone book and you will find a telephone number to call for help and for information about AA Meetings. It is working for me when no other 'remedy' could. It would be so nice to think a bunch of apples, grapes or celery, or other food or drinks could "cure" Alcoholism. Alcoholism is a disease for which there is no treatment in the form of food, pills or drinks. Naltrexone is one form of drug given to alleviate the cravings for alcohol, but it doesn't work for ever, and the patient must have support and understanding and follow a program to improve their outlook on life to have much of a chance of staying sober. Vitamin B is certainly a great help as is plentiful fresh water. We must also learn to read labels on all food and drinks as even the slightest dose of alcohol in any form, will more likely than not, set off a severe craving for more. Diligence is a must. Love in the fellowship to all who need it. Sober and Loving it....Christine A

TOTALLY ABSTAIN FROM DRINKIN FOR GOOD

Totally abstain from consuming alcohol. Join A.A (Alcoholic Anonymous) it is the only real long term answer.
The Real Deal
suggested by [unspecified] on Wednesday, December 5, 2007
To think that a diet of grapes, apples, or sucking a lemon will help treat alcoholism is preposterous. "Firm willingness" to stop drinking will also NOT help a true alcoholic. Alcoholism is not about "will power" or diet issues. It is a progressive disease and can only be 'cured' by total ABSTINENCE. Since alcoholism consists of a craving for alcohol and compulsion to drink in spite of past consequences of drinking, the most SUCCESSFUL way to treat it is with the support of other fellow recovering alcoholics in a structured spiritual (non-religious) program that is life long and life changing. And there are plenty of alcoholics without puffy faces, bloodshot eyes, and raspy voice ,etc.

home ready for abrasions
ABRASIONS- An abrasion is a superficial damage to the upper layer of the skin, the epidermis. It may cause slight bleeding. In general, abrasions do not leave a scar but deep abrasions could cause tissue scarring. Usually, abrasion injuries happen as a result of skin coming in contact (as in scraping) with a rough surface. Grazed Skin-Grazed skin that appears pinkish or reddish that may or may not bleed. Some part of the 2nd layer of skin may be exposed.

Abrasions could be caused due to innumerable reasons. Some of the common causes are -Falls - Young kids are often victims of this. A scraped knee is an excellent example of a common skin abrasion. Sports - Sportsmen also are likely to get abrasions. Accidents - Accidental falls etc can often result in abrasions.
Abrasions home remedies and natural cures, Questions and answers
Cleaning an Abrasion
Treating an abrasion Cleaning the wound and keeping it infection-free is very important. The common norm to treat an abrasion is to clean the wound using mild soap and water and further with the help of an antiseptic wash. This is followed by covering the wound using an antibiotic ointment and a dry dressing. This is thought to help the skin in healing itself. Cleaning an abrasionWhile a serious or deeper-than-normal abrasion needs to be cleaned and treated by a physician, mild scraping of skin can be easily handled by oneself. Cleaning an abrasion is the foremost step towards avoiding infection and speeding up healing. Any dirt or debris needs to be carefully removed. You may use water or any antiseptic solution to do the same. If required you can use a piece of clean gauze to gently scrub the area clean thoroughly. Dress the wound using sterile gauze, cotton and an antibiotic cream or powder. This dressing needs to be changed often, daily at least to quicken the healing process. Avoiding infection due to abrasionsThere is chance of contracting the nasty tetanus infection whenever the skin/flesh is exposed as in case of abrasions. Make sure you take your tetanus injection, in case your last booster was before 10 years. This is extremely important in avoiding infection that can cause further complications. In case of deeper abrasions, also known as “lacerations”, you need to check for deeper cuts that may require stitches to help heal the tissue properly. Natural Remedies for AbrasionAloe is soothing, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. It helps in healing all kinds of wounds including abrasions. Use the pure gel for topical application. Calendula is anti-inflammatory, astringent and antiseptic. Calendula promotes new skin growth and stops bleeding. A few drops of lavender oil is said to help in healing abrasions. The affected area can be disinfected using thyme tea or with a cup of water containing 3-5 drops of the essential oil. Home made salves and ointments made with tea tree, calendula and comfrey are effective in treating abrasions.
Abrasions : Home Remedies suggested by users
A proper nutrient rich diet
Have a balanced meal that provides the body with all nutrients. A proper nutrient-rich diet hastens the healing up process of the skin. Avoid smoking, consuming alcohol and certain drugs (check with your doctor regarding this).

home remedy on Back Pain
Back pain is of many types and can be a symptom of a number of different problems, ranging from a minor injury like a strained muscle to a major injury like a slipped disc, and even a few serious conditions such as cancer. Known medically as dorsalgia, although the term is hardly ever used, back pain is extremely common, and affects everyone at some time or the other.
Back Pain Symptoms
Back pain is itself a symptom and not a disease. It is an indication that something is wrong, either with some part of the spine itself, or with the nerves and muscles in the back. Back pain symptoms vary greatly in location and the type of pain, and these factors help diagnose the underlying cause of the symptoms. Back pain can sometimes radiate to other parts of the body, affecting the neck or one or more of the limbs. The pain can be dull or sharp, and sometimes the affected area can also feel slightly warm. Back pain can also sometimes cause weakness and numbness.
Back Pain Causes
Back Pain Symptoms, Causes, Remedy and Diet
Back pain causes are varied
There are several different causes of back pain, some of which are the result of temporary stress or trauma, and some indicating a structural problem or a degenerative condition.
Back pain causes can mainly be described as follows:
- Strains: The most common causes of back pain are things such as maintaining an awkward position for too long, making sudden awkward movements, overusing the back muscles, bad posture, lifting heavy weights improperly. All of these can strain the muscles and ligaments in the back, causing pain that lasts till the affected parts have recovered.
- Injury or cumulative damage: One common cause of back pain is conditions such as a “slipped disc”, in which part of an intervertebral disc bulges out from the spine, compressing nerves and causing terrible pain. This is usually the result of suddenly lifting things with the back bent. In addition, like any other bone, the bones in the spine can also get fractured as a result of trauma.
- Degenerative conditions: Conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis affect the bones and/or joints, and the spine is no exception.
- Psychological problems: It may be surprising to know that depression and stress can sometimes cause back pain even in cases where no other problem can be detected.
- Other causes: In rare cases, cancer can affect the spine or the nerves in the spine. Infection can also occur, causing inflammation and other problems.
Back Pain Remedies
Back Pain home remedies and natural cures, Questions and answers
Home Remedies for Back Pain Relief
The treatment for back pain depends on the cause. In general however, you can use the following home remedies for back pain:
- Apply a hot or cold compress using a hot water bottle or an ice pack.
- A hot bath also usually helps. If possible, you should sit in a warm tub for a few minutes.
- Exercise in order to strengthen the back muscles. Simple stretching exercises are also useful, both when you have a back ache and on a regular basis.
- Try to relax and get enough rest to avoid both mental stress and physical strain on your back.
- If possible, get a massage. This does not have to be by a professional - a family member can do it equally well as long as they do not use excessive force. Preferably this should be done using a massage oil such as eucalyptus oil. Another excellent oil is mustard oil in which a little garlic has been fried.
- Vitamin C and calcium supplements may help, but consult your doctor before doing this.
- Cut slices of raw potato and place them on the affected area.
Back Pain Diet
Back Pain : Home Remedies suggested by users
Weight loss in obese and overweight people is beneficial
There are not many specific dietary recommendations for back pain, except perhaps if you are overweight. Obesity can of course strain an already bad back. It is therefore important to cut down on unhealthy fats and also limit your intake of caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco. Eat more fruits and vegetables, in particular cabbage, cauliflower, and lettuce. Your diet should also give you all the necessary minerals and vitamins, but in particular the following are important: calcium, phosphorus, vitamin C, and vitamin D. Dairy products along with fruits and vegetables should provide you with the required amount of these substances. In addition, eating more proteins and complex carbohydrates is a good diet for back pain. The proteins are necessary in order to build up your back muscles and the carbohydrates provide the efficient source of energy that your muscles need when you exercise.
Back Pain - Other Suggestions
Back problems - alternative therapy and medical solutions
There are many different kinds of treatment for chronic back pain, depending on the cause of the pain. The options available include various kinds of medication, ranging from painkillers to anti-inflammatory drugs, physiotherapy with a trained therapist, and in very serious cases, even surgery. If home remedies do not work, you should ask your doctor about these options. You can also try alternative treatments such as acupressure and acupuncture.

Causes of Acne Vulgaris
Acne Symptoms, Causes, Remedy and Diet
Acne can be caused by wrong eating habits and chronic constipation
Wrong eating habits can be the root cause for all types of acne. Irregular hours of eating, excessive starch consumption, too much of sugar, fried and fatty foods are also common causes of acne. Chronic constipation is another cause of acne vulgaris. If the bowels do not move properly, the waste matter is not eliminated as quickly as it should be and the bloodstream becomes surcharged with toxic matter. The extra efforts of the skin to eliminate excess waste result in acne and other forms of skin diseases.
Devitalised condition of skin
Acne is also caused due to a devitalised condition of the skin which is a result of unhygienic living habits, excessive consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol or tobacco, and sedentary habits, which lead to indigestion and general debility.

All-fruit Acne diet
To begin with, the patient should take only an 'all-fruit' diet for a week, taking three meals a day, of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grapefruit, pineapples, and peaches. Only unsweetened lemon or plain water, either hot or cold, should be drunk and nothing else.
Well-balanced Acne diet
After the one-week, all-fruit diet, the patient can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet with emphasis on raw foods, especially fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouted seeds, raw nuts, and wholegrain cereals, particularly millet and brown rice. Further short periods of the 'all-fruit' diet for three days or so may be necessary at a monthly interval till the skin's condition improves.
Avoid strong tea/coffee, soft drinks and processed foods
Meats, sugar, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, soft drinks, candies, ice cream, refined and processed foods should be avoided as far as possible.
