Treatment of diathesis by folk remedies
Diathesis is an increased sensitivity of the skin and mucous membranes to external stimuli( allergens).Diathesis is divided into 2 groups:
• the first group is associated with excessively increased body reactivity( exudative, spasmophilic, arthritic);
• the second group includes diathesis, which arose in connection with the sharply weakened reactivity of the organism( asthenic, tubercular, etc.).
The most common occurrence of exudative diathesis, manifested in infants up to a year.
Diathesis is a predisposition of the body to allergic diseases. Most often, the predisposition is hereditary. There are the following types of diathesis. Allergic diathesis - is characterized by high sensitivity of the body to certain substances - allergens( food, smells, cosmetics, detergents).
Exudative-catarrhal diathesis - indicates a predisposition to the inflammatory processes of the skin. Most often this type of diathesis is observed in infants. For example, when taking any food for the first time, children may have eczema, a rash, severe itching.
Symptoms: at a very early age, diathesis can manifest yellow crusts in the fontanel and above the eyebrows. Subsequently, urticaria may manifest, which is characterized by the appearance of itchy red nodules, located mainly on the folds of the limbs. In the periods between exacerbations the child's skin is completely clean.
What's going on? Most often, diathesis is caused by food allergens. They can be products such as milk, cottage cheese and eggs, cocoa and chocolate, oranges and strawberries, nuts, especially hazelnuts, and more. Especially allergic to sweet and carbohydrate-rich food.
Sometimes an allergy causes tap water, even passed through a filter and boiled. In this case, it is enough to switch to water from sources, and the diathesis disappears within 2-3 months.
What should do? For all types of diathesis, an allergist should be monitored. Soothing means are useful.
Recipes. Traditional medicine recommends for diathesis:
• drink a tablespoon of celery root juice 3 times a day for half an hour before meals;
• Drink a glass of nettles( tablespoon of nettle on a glass of boiling water) 3 times a day;
• Take a mixture of hawthorn tincture and tincture of valerian( 15 drops of the one and the other) diluted with water before going to bed.
Prevention is the monitoring of the food ration and the elimination of allergens, the use of yogurt and kefir. Clothes for the child must be bought and sewed only from natural materials. The total hardening of the body is also the prevention of diathesis.

Oxalic acid( oxalate) is formed in the body as the final product of direct metabolism of amino acids such as glycine, serine, ethanolamine and alanine. Small amounts of oxalate can also form from the amino acid proline. Sources of oxalate urine are ascorbic acid, food oxalates, although they determine excretion in the urine of not more than 10% of the total amount of oxalic acid excreted per day. In the body, there are no enzymes that ensure the further conversion of oxalic acid.
The solubility of oxalic acid in water is about 9 g per 100 ml, that is, it is high enough and unattainable in the tissues of a living organism. The content of oxalic acid in serum is 0.2 mg in 100 ml, in whole blood - 3 mg in 100 ml. Oxalic acid forms soluble complexes with certain substances( thiol compounds).Under the influence of unfavorable factors, oxidative processes are activated in the body, as a result of which the amount of thiol compounds sharply decreases. Perhaps, it is under these conditions that the formation of calcium oxalate crystals in the kidneys is facilitated. Thiol compounds prevent the formation of sparingly soluble calcium oxalate crystals in the blood, especially in cells where conditions for pathology can be created( large amounts of calcium are added).The formation of insoluble calcium oxalates in biological fluids and tissues is suppressed by the influence of substances such as magnesium ions, zinc, citrates, sulphates, lactates. Approximately 25-30% of oxalic acid in urine is formed from ascorbic acid, 60% from endogenous( formed in the body) compounds and 10% are oxalates supplied with food.
Calcium oxalate crystals are found in the kidneys with glomerulonephritis, pyelonephritis, renal tubular acidosis. They can be found in other tissues( in the heart muscle, in the foci of inflammation) in the absence of any disturbance in the exchange of oxalic acid. The deposition of calcium oxalates in the vessels can be the cause of spasm of the arteries, acrocyanosis( the appearance of cyanotic coloring of the skin of the fingertips, ears, nose), Raynaud's syndrome, gangrene, and the formation of small stones in the conduction system of the heart can cause it to block, leading to a violation of the cardiacrhythm.
