Coughing and Dermatitis

Cough is the method of expulsion of any extraneous matter that enters the body, through the nose or mouth. Cough is termed dry or wet, on the basis of mucus production. Cough treatment involves a low spice diet. Any food that irritates the throat further is avoided. Foods, especially liquids that are warm or hot are soothing to the throat.

Cough treatment at home is simple to follow.

Dry cough treatment involves proper hydration, as persistent cough deprives you of the moisture in the throat. Honey with lime juice or tea helps.  Expectorants are effective in thinning the mucus. Individuals, who experience difficulty in removal of mucus, benefit with expectorants. Do not use cough suppressants indiscriminately. Treatment for cough involves the use of ginger juice. Fresh ginger juice is of great help, as it soothes the throat.

Dermatitis is a condition of the skin, which is seen to be associated with dry and scaly skin. Itching of the skin, redness and inflammation of the affected areas are some of the symptoms of dermatitis. Wheat grass juice is effective for dermatitis cure. Dermatitis remedies include the usage of drugs. Abstinence from the object that causes the reaction helps in the treatment of contact dermatitis. Allergic dermatitis is a result of contact with irritants, such as cosmetics, chemicals, metals, detergents and so on.

Dermatitis natural treatment involves having a bath with oatmeal. This helps in relieving the itch associated with dermatitis. Calamine lotion has a cooling effect and helps a lot! Anti histamine lotions might prove harmful, as they might themselves contribute to allergic dermatitis. Oral anti histamines provide relief from itching and redness. Dermatitis treatment is effective with hydrocortisone creams. Dermatitis cure is at the maximum by avoidance of the trigger or stimulus. Cold compress is equally effective for dermatitis. Place the compress thrice a day for about half an hour. Immediate removal of the stimulus is done by washing the affected area with cold water and mild soap.

A cough which is expectorant, i.e., it is productive in removing mucus, is a necessary protective mechanism. Dry coughs are eased by gargling with and then swallowing:
Juice of 2 lemons; 2 tablespoonfuls (30ml) honey, warm water 5 fl oz (150ml).
Find the cause of the cough, for example, a cold or catarrh, and then treat the condition. Avoid staying in smoky atmospheres. A good treatment is:
Onion 10 fl oz (275ml) each day.

If caused by an outside irritant, remove the cause. Try spreading on either avocado pulp or papaya pulp.
In rare cases this is due to vitamin A deficiency.

If so take any of the following:

Carrot 6 fl oz (l75ml); apple 6 fl oz (175ml); celery 6 fl oz (l75ml).
Carrot 10 fl oz (275ml); celery 6 fl oz (l75ml).
Parsley 2 fl oz (50ml); watercress 3 fl oz (75ml); carrot 11 fl oz
(300ml).
