Also, avoid continuous exposure to temperature and humidity to prevent the appearance of pernium erythema (chilblains) They are an abnormal vasoconstriction response to low temperatures that is followed by vasodilation, fluid exudate in the tissues and an inflammatory reaction. It usually produces itching, stinging, a burning sensation or local pain. The best treatment is preventive. Proper clothing and combat the cold at home. In addition to going to the podiatrist if the symptoms are disabling.

DOSE INTRAVENOUS VITAMIN C SERUMS

High-dose intravenous Vitamin C serum therapy is a powerful anti-inflammatory and is used for people who have chronic autoimmune diseases, infections, and cancer. It is also applied preventively and as support for the immune system against the flu or other infectious diseases (COVID-19) High doses of vitamin C can be given by intravenous (IV) or oral infusion. When taken by intravenous infusion, vitamin C can reach much higher levels in the blood than when taken orally. Vitamin C at low levels is a powerful antioxidant, however, at high doses it becomes an oxidant that is broken down in the body to produce hydrogen peroxide and is used to fight cancer and pathogenic cells.

BENEFITS OF INTRAVENOUS VITAMIN C SERUMS

• Strengthens the immune system.
• Collagen formation that gives the skin its elasticity and support.
• Helps prevent degenerative diseases.
• Protects cells from oxidative stress.
• Reduces tiredness and fatigue.
• Supports our energy metabolism.
• Protects the body from free radical damage.
• Helps eliminate infections.

The intravenous therapy of high doses of Vitamin C is carried out in Medicality by our colleague Dra. Ana Beatriz Saud.

As a consequence, it can be a cause of a series of dental issues from dental wear to fractures, tooth thermo sensitivity, facial and nuchal muscle tension, headaches, inflammation and wear of the temporomandibular joint, chronic earaches and tinnitus.

The most frequent causes are emotional disorders that have its roots in STRESS, frustration or anxiety. What we deal with during the day, we process at night, thus trying to reduce stress and nerves. A restless and superficial sleep with many movements, dreams and a high muscular activity (in case of bruxism, the maxillary and temporal muscles) are the consequence. Caffeine or nicotine intake favours bruxism. The lack of teeth or maxillofacial malformations can increase discomfort, just as some medications can trigger this pathological mechanism.

There are a number of therapeutic tools to treat bruxism, its causes and consequences:

– Regular check-up and correction of maxillofacial and dental pathologies

– A dental guard as a tooth protector which reduces muscle tension showing effectiveness in a large percentage of patients. But 25% of patients even increase muscle activity with the splint. It is recommended to wear it discontinuously, e.g. 5 nights of use, 2 of rest.

– Short-term medication (pain relievers, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, anxiolytics)

– Physiotherapy  https://marketingmedicoweb.com/en/physiotherapy-in-valencia/

– Psychotherapy  https://marketingmedicoweb.com/en/psychology-in-valencia/

– Relaxing techniques, meditation

– With biofeedback: the activity of the maxillary musculature is recorded through sensors, and in the event of an increase in the same, an impulse is emitted that causes relaxation of these muscles.

– In some cases, the neuromodulators can be injected into the maxillary muscles to soften its activity.  https://marketingmedicoweb.com/en/aesthetic-medicine-in-valencia/

The intestinal flora is made up of hundreds of different microbes which play an essential role in the correct functioning of our body. They are crucial for our immune system, providing that the 80% of the immune system is located in the intestine. Consequently, a colon which lacks optimal activity not only will have direct local effects like constipation or poor nutrient absorption but will also trigger chronic pathological processes like recurrent infections, allergies or food intolerances, asthma, acne or rheumatism, including chronic fatigues and depressions.

During the lifetime tiny parts of faeces get stuck on the walls of the colon which can’t be removed naturally due to the sedentary way of life and bad diet. This waste also provokes the repression of the natural bacterial flora and continuous intoxication of the body.

Intestinal cleansing should be done very carefully and usually takes a long time (weeks or even months). The colon wall incrustations must soften and get gradually dissolved to avoid hurting the intestinal mucosa. A very quick cleansing can cause painful obstipation, headaches, body odour, nausea and weakness. Normal accompanying symptoms can be light digestive disturbances, fatigue, impure skin, mood swings, appetite loss and frequent stools.

The most important components when it gets to purify the colon are Psyllium seeds (Plantago Ovata) as a soluble fibre, a mix of herbs to stimulate the depuration, the bentonite to tie up the toxins and the incrustations and the probiotics to regenerate the intestinal flora. It is important to accompany the intestinal cleansing with abundant water and healthy balanced diet rich in alkaline foods.

The colon depuration should be carried out individually and be adapted to each organism, being supervised by a doctor.

We will answer all these questions:

– First of all, wax is a natural product of our body (like saliva or sweat) and therefore has its function. It mainly protects the skin of the ear canal and hydrates it.

– Normally the ear expels excess wax out, and most people do not have the problem of ear plugs.

– When there is too much accumulation of wax, we can help this natural elimination with water and a little shampoo (when we wash the head) – only when there is no pathology or disease at the level of the ear. The ear is then dried with the towel or the hair dryer.

– Commercial sprays to clean the ear usually do not have an additional benefit, some patients even comment on an unpleasant sensation.

– It is never recommended using or introducing sticks or instruments such as hooks, pencil, etc. – there is a high risk of injury to the ear canal or even a perforation of the eardrum, and usually it is not possible to remove the plug, but rather it is pushed inwards.

– The best control is obtained in a visit with the specialist – under microscopic vision the cap is removed gently and without causing injuries. The patient with “experience” of removing plugs can often soften the wax before the consultation with the ENT with peroxide or Otocerum.

– You can not really avoid wax production because it is a natural process

In the field of otorhinolaryngology we highlight three main indications for radiofrequency:

1. Radiofrequency of turbinates. To improve nasal breathing, for example in allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis or turbinate hypertrophy. The intervention is done with local anesthesia or sedation and lasts 20 to 30 minutes. Then the patient can continue his life without limitations. For 4-6 weeks a post-operative cure is prescribed with seawater and some ointments as well as  regular check-ups with the otolaryngologist is required. The result is excellent, if the indication has been done correctly.

2.Radiofrequency of the palate. To treat snoring. A reduction in volume and tension due to scarring are induced at different points of the soft palate. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and lasts approximately 20 minutes. For 1-2 weeks there is a sore throat that is treated with analgesics. The result is very good when the indication has been done correctly. There are usually more factors to consider with the subject of snoring.

3. Radiofrequency of tonsils. It is a treatment to reduce the volume of the tonsils, which can help children to breathe more easily, in adults it is considered part of the treatment for snoring. An important advantage is the preservation of the immunological function of the tonsils and the minimized risk of a postoperative hemorrhage. The intervention is usually performed under general anesthesia, in adults also under local anesthesia. The results are excellent when the indication has been made correctly.

Worry is a part of life for everyone. But by taking steps to proactively manage your stress, you can help make sure that your daily worries don’t end up hurting your health.

The good news is that you can avoid health problems associated with chronic worry. All you have to do is learn to manage your stress:

• Exercise each day. Do some form of exercise each day, whether strength training, aerobic exercise, or walking your dog.
• Meditate and breathe deeply. Repeat a calming mantra or visualize a serene setting.
• Eat healthy. Focus on a balanced diet. Also, limit your caffeine and sugar intake.
• Stay in contact with people who support you. Get support from your spouse or significant other, parents, siblings and friends.
