何謂鼻炎? What Is Rhinitis?

顧名思義,就是鼻子發炎的症狀,並導致大量粘液產生。常見的症狀包括鼻塞、流鼻水和打噴嚏。這些粘液可以從鼻孔流出,它也可以通過鼻後管道經食道排出,即俗稱的鼻水倒流。

鼻炎可以分為多種,而最常見的是過敏性鼻炎,這是一種受空氣中過敏原影響而引起的過敏發炎症狀。過敏性鼻炎可導致不同症狀,包括打噴嚏和鼻癢、咳嗽、頭痛、疲勞不適,長遠而言甚至會影響大腦運作。

引起鼻炎的原因有哪些?
這裡列出其中一些因素,包括:

鼻敏感引致流鼻水。在這種情況下,分泌物通常是透明或有時是白色的。
鼻腔受感染引致大量分泌物產生。分泌物呈現膿水狀,通常是黃色或綠色。
鼻子受外來刺激物影響導致分泌物產生。分泌物最常見是透明或白色的;許多人在暴露於強酸等化學刺激物時常會發生這種情況。
鼻子受寒冷的空氣或煙霧影響也會產生過量分泌物。這通常被稱為刺激性鼻炎。

蠶蟲酵素 Serrapeptase 是有效對付鼻炎的天然補充劑,能徹底消除發炎症狀和收乾粘液分泌。這大大舒緩了炎症反應和細胞組織的各種不適,讓身體的自身免疫系統能正常地應對和處理外來刺激。


It is an inflammation of the nose, resulting in the generation of large amounts of mucus. Its common symptoms are stuffy nose, runny nose, and sneezing. The discharge from the nose can come through the front of the nose. It can also drain through the back of the nose, a condition called post-nasal drip.

The most common kind  is allergic rhinitis, which is usually triggered by airborne allergens. In addition, allergic rhinitis may cause other symptoms, such as sneezing and nasal itching, coughing, headache, fatigue, malaise, and cognitive impairment.


What Causes This Condition?
Various factors include:

Allergies frequently produce a runny nose. In these cases, the discharge will be clear or occasionally white.
Infection causes nasal discharge. This will be a purulent discharge most commonly colored yellow or green.
Irritation to the nose can cause discharge. This discharge is most commonly clear or white; many people experience it when exposed to nasal irritants.
Many individuals exposed to cold air or smoke will have nasal discharge. This is known as Irritative Rhinitis.

Serrapeptase helps immensely as it clears out all of the inflammation and mucus. In addition, by clearing away this problem inflammation and tissue, it enables the body’s own immune system to deal more easily with irritation.

消滅暗瘡!Stop the Spots!

暗瘡是一種皮膚疾病,通常毛孔被堵塞後發生,終導致稱為青春痘、白頭、黑頭或囊腫等皮膚感染。 暗瘡常見於青春期開始時,但許多成年人也發生這情況,尤其婦女在月經期間問題特別顯著。研究發現暗瘡也與遺傳因素有關。

利用天然成分對付暗瘡
多種天然成分皆可幫助控制暗瘡爆發。 茶樹油已被證明是非常有效的天然抗痤瘡劑,試試稀釋一滴茶樹油在面霜裡,或直接用棉花棒將茶樹油塗於患處,效果明顯。具抗菌特性的茶樹油能有效減輕皮膚發炎的情況。

金盞花乳霜對舒緩暗瘡也有幫助,對那些油性皮膚和經常受黑頭困擾的人士特別有效。

草藥成分如薰衣草和洋甘菊也可以幫助減少炎症和皮膚紅腫,並有效預防暗瘡爆發。

有些人更會將甜杏仁油塗於患處。雖然塗油於暗瘡患處聽起來有點奇怪,但甜杏仁油可以幫助皮膚保持水分的天然平衡,預防暗瘡爆發。


Acne is a skin disorder that occurs when pores get clogged. This eventually causes small infections known as pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, or cysts. Acne usually begins during adolescence but many adults experience it too—especially women during their menstrual cycle. Heredity also may play a part.

Spots Be Gone
Fortunately, there are natural ingredients that can help control acne outbreaks. Tea tree oil has been shown to be very effective natural anti-acne agent. Try diluting one drop in your facial cream or oil, or apply it straight to a pimple with a cotton swab. The antibacterial tea tree oil can help reduce inflammation.

Calendula can help if skin is oily and plagued with blackheads.

Herbal ingredients like lavender, and chamomile can help reduce inflammation and redness and may prevent future breakouts.

And while it may seem strange to apply oil to blemished skin, sweet almond oils can help maintain a natural moisture balance.
