Dandelions For Health

Dandelion is a perennial herb found throughout the temperate regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. The dandelion grows to be several inches in height, with a bright yellow flower, thin stem, and jagged leaves. The root, leaves, and stem all contain a milky fluid.

More than one theory exists on the origins of the dandelion’s name. The most generally accepted theory is that the shape of the leaves inspired the French phrase dent de lion, meaning lion’s tooth. This phrase eventually evolved into the word dandelion.

However, some argue that the phrase dent de lion was meant to describe the way the leaves resembled the angular jaw of a lion fully supplied with teeth. Others claim the yellow flowers can be compared to the golden teeth of the heraldic lion. And yet another claim is that the whiteness of the root is the feature which provides the resemblance.

Diverticulitis – A Disease of Convenience?

A poor diet is the primary cause of diverticulitis; specifically a diet that is loaded with preprocessed convenience foods, high in sugar, bad carbohydrates and saturated fats but low in fiber, fresh fruits, complex grains and vegetables. In medical circles this is sarcastically referred to as the “Standard American Diet” or SAD for short. In reality this type of diet has become increasingly common throughout the western world as has the incidence of diverticulitis.

The pathology of the disease begins as small pockets that bulge outwards are formed in the wall of the large intestine. These pockets are called diverticula and the condition is called diverticulosis. It becomes diverticulitis only when those pockets become inflamed due to infection. But lifestyle also has a part to play because when not enough exercise is undertaken regularly that contributes to poor regularity and the stool is more likely to then become lodged in these pockets.

Many people have diverticulosis without knowing it since there are no or few symptoms. It is only when stool becomes lodged in the pockets and causes inflammation and infection that there are any symptoms. The symptoms of diverticulitis include pain in the lower right side of the abdomen, gas and bloating, diarrhea alternating with constipation, rectal bleeding, fever, nausea and vomiting. Not all of these symptoms may be present during an attack of diverticulitis; it depends on how serious it is. Other diseases can also cause the same symptoms, so it is important to be properly diagnosed.

Small Hemorrhoids Affect Many People

It is estimated that hemorrhoids affect about eighty percent of the people in the United States at some point in their life. This uncomfortable condition can be caused by pressure on the rectum which then causes the hemorrhoid veins to bleed or even protrude from the rectum. This condition can be extremely painful and embarrassing for people which is why many go without seeking out treatment or help for this condition. Most people don’t want to talk about it and will often try to suffer through the pain. The condition always starts with small hemorrhoids that are often unnoticeable to most people. If they go untreated, they can become more painful and many people notice them when they see blood on the toilet paper. Starting to treat them immediately and seeking help from a doctor are both good ways to start.

There are several over the counter treatments for small hemorrhoids that people can use in the privacy of their own home. These come in the form of creams and pads that help to stop the itching and pain that are associated with hemorrhoids. Some of the creams will also come with an applicator that can be applied internally as well as externally around the rectum. If this measure doesn’t seem to do the trick, there are also suppositories that can be used to soothe the area. Read more…
