Men Have Special Issues That Natural Remedies Can Relieve

There are natural remedies that can help males deal with issues that they have including acne, arthritis, hemorrhoids, managing cholesterol, and quitting smoking.

Acne can occur in both males and females. It is an inflammatory disorder of the sebaceous glands. These glands are the oil glands. They increase during puberty and secrete more sebum then they normally do. The excess sebum becomes trapped under the skin. The gland breaks, spilling sebum, and irritating the skin. The sebum that irritates the skin is what causes pimples to form. Acne can occur on the male’s face, back, neck and chest. Acne can be successfully treated with natural remedies such as using colloidal silver either orally or applied directly on the affected skin area. You can also use garlic capsules to boost your immune system and kill the bacteria that are often found with acne. You should drink a lot of water to help clear the waste products from your body. It is important to eat foods that are high in fiber to keep your colon clean. Eat shellfish, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and nuts because they are rich in zinc and zinc is a natural antibacterial which helps combat the bacteria associated with acne.

Many men fight high cholesterol and will find that there are many natural remedies that will help them to lower the LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase the HDL (good) cholesterol. The HDL cholesterol carries the LDL (bad) cholesterol out of the bloodstream. To assist our bodies to remove LDL blood cholesterol you can mix 1 tsp. of roasted chicory root, 1 tsp. of lime flowers, 1/2 tsp. of fenugreek seeds, 1/2 tsp. of ginger rhizome, and 1 quart of water. You need to boil all of these ingredients, let the mixture cool, strain it and then drink 2 cups of this mixture each day. Garlic is very good for managing your cholesterol because it lowers LDL cholesterol and increases the HDL cholesterol. Ginger also reduces cholesterol and thins the blood, which helps in improving the circulation.

Men often complain of hemorrhoids especially if they sit at an office job all day. Hemorrhoids are rectal veins that become stretched, and pushed with force, that then rupture and bleed. Hemorrhoids can cause rectal bleeding, pain, burning, inflammation, irritation and itching. You can get internal or external hemorrhoids. There is also another kind of hemorrhoid called a prolapsed hemorrhoid that protrudes outside of the anus and is usually accompanied by mucus discharge and heavy bleeding. These hemorrhoids are very painful and are caused by chronic constipation or a congested liver. Factors that contribute to the development of hemorrhoids are poor exercise, obesity, food allergies, lifting heavy objects, and a diet that is poor in fiber.

Natural remedies for hemorrhoids include putting aloe Vera gel directly on the hemorrhoids to relieve pain and to sooth any burning sensation. You can also use bayberry, goldenseal root, myrrh, and white oak in a salve form to relieve pain. You can also apply Witch hazel with a sterile cotton pad, 3 times a day in order to shrink swollen veins.
