Aloe vera and Asthma

September 13th, 2008 by admin

Asthma is a highly prevalent condition that affects one in four people on average. Its symptoms can be triggered by many factors, such as allergies, emotions or stress. Asthma attacks are usually treated with prescription medications such as Albuterol and other corticoids.

This disease leads people to change their way of life to avoid or reduce attacks, but complete avoidance of stress, dust or allergens is virtually impossible to achieve 100% of the time. Even though asthma is not curable, the good news is that some children grow out of it. But those that don’t are usually on the hunt for anything that can help.

Many profesionals take very seriously the help coming from certain natural products. For example, studies found that 57% of the asthmatics find more relief from a combination of conventional and natural treatments, than prescription medicines alone. Aloe vera is one of the natural treatments being used. In fact, there are published studies on the benefits of aloe vera for asthma, and this relationship has been known since 1951, and more recent studies shed more light on this issue.


Aloe vera is rich in natural steroids and other compounds with the ability to reduce or even block inflammation. Moreover, studies done in Japan in the eighties showed that some compounds present in aloe vera leaves seem to help in the removal of particles that trigger asthma attacks. Since Aloe vera has only been shown to be beneficial as a preventive measure, it should not be used to treat an ongoing asthma attack. Asthma patients should still keep their prescribed inhalers nearby for attacks.

About back pain

June 17th, 2008 by admin

What is back pain?
Back pain is a pain which is felt in the back of the body. It originates from the nerves, bones, muscles, joints and other structures of the spine. Back pain is also known as ‘dorsalgia’.

Studies have shown that about 9 out of 10 adults experience back pain.

The spine is considered to be one of the most complex interconnecting networks. It connects the nerves, muscles, joints, ligaments and tendons in which all are capable of producing pain. This network also connects to the legs and arms through a nerve. S, the pain can radiate to the extremities. The back pain may be a sign of serious problems.
The back pain is caused due to the muscle strains on the back. There exists a muscle imbalance and in which the pain remains as long as this condition or imbalance exists. This causes a serious of mechanical problems with the skeletal system, which results in pain. Another cause for the back pain is a condition called occlusion. Here the mobile regions of the entire spine, which has cushioning set ups are supplied with blood and nerves. When these become pinched sudden pain occurs. This pain is caused because pinching causes those membrane to become inflamed, causing pressure. When you have over load works, this may also cause back pain. Factors such as stress, anger or depression can cause back pain. Other causes may also include trauma, cancer, infection, inflammatory disease and fracture.
The symptoms of back pain may include sever illness accompanied with muscle spasm, pain while walking, pain on one side. These symptoms when not treated properly may lead to severe consequences such as spine fracture and may even lead to coma.
