Blepharitis Treatment | Swollen Eyelid | Inside Eyelid Infection
Blepharitis can be described as a chronic eyelid infection or inflammation. The eyelid inflammation caused by Blepharitis can be compared to “eye eczema”, which leads to a lower, upper, inside eyelid infection, as the skin turns red and scaly. There could be several diseases and underlying conditions that lead to Blepharitis, which include eyelash mites, allergies to eye makeup or lens solution, Rosacea, bacterial infections, seborrheic dermatitis, eye medication allergies or a malfunctioning of the oil glands in the eyelids. The most common symptoms of blepharitis are gritty or tired eyes, discomfort in the eyes caused mainly by sunlight, smoky vision, a swollen eyelid and eye redness. This condition has no cure and long term treatment is required in order to keep the symptoms in control. Fortunately, blepharitis is neither a very common condition, nor is it very serious. Moreover, it is possible to make the eyes feel more comfortable, by adopting various Blepharitis treatment options, as well as following certain eye care measures.
Blepharitis treatment would mainly involve the development of a regular eye-hygiene routine. This includes cleaning the eyes thoroughly every day and removing all traces of eye makeup before going to bed. It is possible to prepare an eye solution at home, by mixing one teaspoon of a good brand of baby shampoo, to a pint of warm water. You could apply this blepharitis treatment with the help of a cotton bud. Dip the cotton bud in the shampoo solution, and rub it gently against the margin of the eyelid and slightly inside the eyelid. This helps in removing the debris and scales from the eyelids that cause irritation. Alternately, it is also possible to use a warm compress by dipping a face cloth in warm water and then bathing the eyelids with it, for around 4 minutes. As a blepharitis treatment this helps to thin the secretion in the glands of the eyelids. In milder cases of blepharitis, the compress should be used twice a week, but in more severe cases, it can be used more often.
In case the home remedies for Blepharitis treatment mentioned above do not bring about any improvement within two weeks, or seem to aggravate the symptoms further, it is important to consult a doctor, preferably an eye specialist, immediately. Apart from eye hygiene, an eye specialist may also recommend the use of antibiotics, ointments, eye drops with steroids and artificial tears, in order to alleviate the symptoms. At times, the doctor may first need to treat the underlying condition that has caused blepharitis.

In his opening narration, director Gerald Barclay reveals that he grew up with members of the Wu-Tang Clan. That makes his profile a first-person feature, even if he doesn't turn the camera on himself. As a video producer, Barclay contributed to the hip-hop collective's early success, so he isn't exactly a disinterested observer, which gives him access, but can also result in a limited perspective. Fortunately, he adds enough outside voices to stave off accusations of bias. To set the scene, Barclay takes a brief tour of Staten Island ("Shaolin" in Wu speak) and the martial arts movies that inspired the crew's ideology. Founded in 1991, Wu-Tang formed around Ghostface Killah, Masta Killa, Method Man, Raekwon the Chef, RZA, GZA, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and OI' Dirty Bastard. As actor/rapper RZA explains, Wu-Tang stands for Wise Universal Truth Allah Now God... though he's open to other interpretations. As writer Margeaux Watson observes, "It is a typical 'Behind the Music' story," and Barclay dutifully tracks their rise, fall, and rebirth by speaking with friends, business associates, disc jockeys, and journalist-turned-A&R rep Bonz Malone, who admits he didn't get them at first. Sadly, the darkest moments revolve around ODB, who went from substance abuse to assault charges to incarceration, and passed away in 2004. Special features include Barclay's "Protect Ya Neck" video and extended interviews with Raekwon and RZA, who relates Wu's solo-career master plan. In addition, the filmmaker discusses the making of the documentary, while ODB's widow, Iceline Jones, remembers her late husband. --Kathleen C. FennessyPrice:

Causes of Excessive Flatulence | Remedies for Flatulence | Preventing Flatulence
Excessive flatulence can be quite an embarrassing problem, in spite of the fact that several people suffer from it. It refers to the state of having excessive gas in the stomach or the intestines. Apart from being an embarrassment, flatulence could also lead to several discomforts like bloating or heaviness. Therefore, many people who suffer from this problem are interested in methods that can help in treating flatulence. However, in order to be successful in preventing flatulence, it is important to understand what the causes of excessive flatulence are.
There are three main causes of excessive flatulence in humans, which include:
Eating foods that are difficult to absorb – Some foods, especially those that are high in carbohydrates cannot be easily digested and therefore, they get passed down into the colon. Then, the bacteria that are present in the colon break the carbs down and gas is produced in the process, which is eliminated in the form of flatulence. Foods that are known to cause flatulence are pulses, lentils, beans, cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, apples and prunes.Swallowing more air than is normal – It is perfectly normal to swallow some amount of air while breathing, eating and talking. However, when more air is swallowed, than is normal, it could lead to excessive flatulence. Some of the activities that could result in swallowing excessive air are chewing gum, eating too fast and smoking.Suffering from an underlying condition that can affect the digestive system – Health conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), chronic constipation and lactose intolerance are some of the most common causes of excessive flatulence in a person.Treating, cure flatulence
Treatment options for flatulence depend mainly on the causes. There are several over the counter medicines that can relieve the discomfort. However, it is preferable to prevent this condition, by using certain remedies for flatulence, which include:
Drinking half a teaspoon of ginger powder, mixed with warm water. A pinch of rock salt can also be added, to make this remedy more effective.Adding 2 tablespoons of brandy, to a glass of water and consuming it just before going to bed. As a nightly routine, this helps get rid of flatulence.Chewing on a few pieces of ginger that have been soaked in lime water. This remedy may not be the most pleasant, but should be used after every meal.Mixing a teaspoon of honey and one drop of dill oil together and consuming it immediately after eating.However, if the remedies for flatulence mentioned above do not bring about any relief within a few days, it may be best to consult a doctor about the problem.
Chicken Pox in Infants Causes | Chicken Pox Treatment Infants | Young Babies
Chicken pox is a very common disease, affecting mostly children, who are below the age of 12 years. However, this disease can affect also adults or even infants at times. In older children, chicken pox is not a serious condition, but it usually causes a rash, which is very itchy. Flu-like symptoms also usually accompany chicken pox in infants, toddlers and children. This condition is highly contagious and therefore, a child or any person who has been affected by chicken pox should be kept away from the others, so that the disease does not spread. People normally experience only one episode of chicken pox in their lives. Chicken pox in infants is usually a bit more serious than it is in children, who are older. This is because the rash infants experience can cause a lot of itchiness and discomfort and the other symptoms that are usually associated with this condition can cause the immune system to weaken. Unfortunately, the risks associated with chicken pox in young babies are quite high, since infants are generally not immunized, till they are 12 months old. Moreover, it is believed that when chicken pox affects babies who are very young, there is a strong possibility of the child suffering from shingles or other skin eruptions later on in life. This condition should never be ignored and chicken pox treatment for infants should be given first priority. The doctor should be consulted when seeking chickenpox treatment in infants as to avoid any new condition from affecting the baby.
One should remember that there is no definite chicken pox treatment in infants as such, but there are several remedies that can help reduce the discomfort and the itchiness. The more the baby scratches the rash, the worse it will get, therefore, it is best to keep the baby’s nails trimmed or to wear mittens for the baby, so that he or she cannot itch excessively. It is also necessary to give the baby a lot of liquids so that their skin remains hydrated and moist and the itchiness reduces. Another helpful option for chickenpox treatment in infants is giving the baby a cool bath every few hours. To make this remedy even more effective, it is best to add a colloidal oatmeal or baking soda to the bath water. Certain children’s medication can be given to reduce the fever; however, aspirin should never be given to babies, as it could result in the fatal Reye’s syndrome.
Parents, who have babies that have not yet been immunized for chicken pox, should be careful to avoid any chances of an infection. It is also advisable to consult a pediatrician or a child specialist in order to get more information on chicken pox in infants causes, the appearance of marks on the skin, treatment, symptoms and so on.

Skin Bleaching Supplements, Remedies | Bleaching Remedies Skin Care
In the world of today, given our work and lifestyle and the increasing pollution, skin damage has become increasingly prevalent. One might look at skin bleaching remedies either when the skin is dark or has become spotted and discolored due to pollution, allergies, medication, or overexposure to UV rays. Darker skin could also be due to the melanin content in the skin; however, this is mostly natural and can be attributed to genetic factors. Another reason for a dark skin could be hyperpigmentation, when the skin produces excess melanin. While there are many skin bleaching supplements available, not all of them will work and none of them will yield results overnight. The objective should be to maintain a regular skin care program so as to ensure that the skin remains healthy and glows. This is true regardless of the color of the skin.
There is a plethora of skin bleaching products that guarantee bleaching remedies and skin care. However, when choosing these products one needs to be wise and careful, as they can be equally harmful to the skin. Given the side-effects of using chemical products for skin care and bleaching, sometimes, the safest bet is to use natural skin bleaching remedies and skin bleaching supplements.
Here are some natural skin bleaching supplements that can be made at home and will help you ensure that your skin looks healthy. Remember, that the first step to beautiful skin is a nutritious diet, proper exercise, and adequate sleep. The juice from a lemon, few peeled slices of cucumber, two slices of potato, two spoons of gram flour, and the juice of orange or grape fruit can be blended or mixed together and applied on the skin. Leave this on the skin overnight. Though this would be sticky, it will rejuvenate the skin and you will see positive results soon. In case you want the mixture to be stored, take larger amounts and add an equal amount of salt and sugar; mix well and store in a jar.
Another one of the skin bleaching supplements that could be used is lemon juice along with some mint leaves. This would need to be boiled in water and allowed to cool. The mixture can then be applied on the skin to remove any hyperpigmentation and discoloration. This will lighten the skin tone and should be included in your skin care regime, especially if you have dark spots. A mix of honey, lemon, and milk or yogurt can be applied on the skin. Leave this on for 20 to 30 minutes, before you wash in cold water. Gram flour or oatmeal can be added to remove dead cells and serve as excellent exfoliators.
Dried lemon or orange peels can be ground and applied on the skin. Turmeric and lemon juice can be applied to bleach the skin; turmeric helps in clearing spots and healing the skin if there are any infections. Vitamins A, B, C, and D can be taken as skin bleaching supplements; they essentially help in making the skin healthy, soft and supple.
Subchorionic Hematoma and Fertility, Conception | Symptoms | Treatment
Subchorionic hematoma refers to the blood that gathers between the uterus and the membranes of the placenta, in pregnant women. Several doctors may also refer to it simply, as a blood clot. In the earlier days any kind of bleeding during pregnancy was regarded as a sign of a miscarriage. However, recent studies have indicated that subchorionic hematoma and pregnancy bleeding do not necessarily lead to an unhappy ending, namely, a miscarriage. This is because there are several women who have delivered normal and healthy babies, in spite of suffering from subchorionic hematoma. However since many would still be nervous about the condition one should remember that subchorionic hematoma and fertility related problems are related but very distantly. In fact, statistics reveal that subchorionic hematoma only leads to a miscarriage in about 3% of the total pregnancies that it is seen in. Several health experts also wonder if there is any relation between subchorionic hematoma and fertility related problems, mainly because this condition can be observed in many IVF pregnancies. However, there is no definite proof to state that subchorionic hematoma and conception problems are related to one another.
The main symptom of subchorionic hematoma during pregnancy is the presence of vaginal bleeding, in varying degrees and quantities. In some women, the bleeding may appear more like light spotting, but other women may see a flow of bright red blood, with blood clots. Some women may only see a few spots of brownish blood. The other subchorionic hematoma symptoms that normally accompany bleeding include mild abdominal pain. There are still some women who may not experience bleeding or any of the other symptoms of this condition, in spite of suffering from subchorionic hematoma. In such cases, the presence of subchorionic hematoma only becomes evident during an ultrasound test. In case any of the subchorionic hematoma symptoms are noticed, it is important to inform a doctor about it immediately.
Subchorionic hematoma treatment
Unfortunately, there is no definite subchorionic hematoma treatment that could be administered. There are some doctors who may prescribe certain medication, like aspirin, which is a blood thinner and can bleed the clot out. However, most of the doctors prescribe strict bed rest and proper care, to allow the blood clot to get resolved on its own. One condition that can aggravate the blood clot is dehydration. Therefore, it is also important to drink a lot of water each day. Drinking at least 8 glasses would help in the prevention of dehydration, which will further reduce the possibilities of uterine contractions.
All instances of subchorionic hematoma and fertility concerns should be carefully monitored by a doctor.

Tarter, Calculus on Teeth | Dental Plaque | Plaque Between Teeth
Pearly whites need not mean that all is well, until all is fine down to the roots of the teeth. The most common problem that can signal trouble is plaque on teeth. The term dental plaque refers to the biofilm that forms a layer on the teeth naturally. This is colorless and formed by the bacteria colonizing around the teeth. It is also considered that plaque on teeth could be part of defense mechanism to fight pathogens that are harmful.
Plaque is a soft film that can be scraped with a fingernail, but if it is not removed it begins to harden, within two days time. If allowed to thrive it gets further hardened to form tartar on teeth. Tarter on teeth, actually spelt as tartar on teeth, can be rock solid and difficult to get rid of. The microorganisms present in dental plaque are quite normal in the oral cavity and are harmless. But if the plaque is left without regular brushing of teeth, plaque builds into a thick layer. The microorganisms slowly start producing acids that demineralize the adjacent tooth, which spreads to the extent of causing dental caries.
Tartar or calculus on teeth can be yellow in color and darken to a brown color. Plaque forms on the teeth, above or below the gum lines. Dental plaque is not visible unless stained. This plaque needs to be cleaned thoroughly or they can change into calculus on teeth, formed by deposits of calcium, phosphorous and other chemicals present in the saliva. This can be become very hardened and insoluble and bonds with the tooth enamel and the gum line.
The best way to prevent tartar on teeth is maintain oral hygiene and clean the teeth regularly. Flossing helps remove any food particles from between the teeth and prevent the growth of germs that would cause tooth decay. You would need to floss between the teeth gently and remove the unwanted food particles and germs. It is essential to know the correct method of flossing so as to avoid unnecessary damage to the teeth. Then brush gently in circular motion to remove any residue with a fluoride paste. Fluoride toothpaste is very good in protecting teeth from tooth decay. Also brush the tongue to get a fresh feeling and rinse well. Using a dental pick is effective in removing plaque from between the teeth.
Hydrogen peroxide or any oral cleanser is helpful in removing tartar on teeth. Rinse the mouth with the liquid and do it regularly after meals to prevent calculus on teeth. You can also rub teeth with little baking soda and salt mixture to prevent plaque.
