ACNE VULGARIS

• •ACNE IS A CORNIFICATION DISORDER OF THE HAIR FOLLICLES IN WHICH THE CONTENTS ARE RETAINED AND CAN BECOME INFLAMED (PUSTULE

FORMATION). • HORMONAL, HEREDITARY, AND EXTERNAL FACTORS (VARIOUS MEDICATIONS, VITA- MINS B1, B6 AND B12) PLAY A ROLE. •

DIFFERENT TYPES ARE DISTINGUISHED. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO PREDICT THE COURSE OF THE DISEASE, WHICH CAN PERSIST FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

ALMOST EVERY CASE OF ACNE CAN BE TREATED WITH GOOD COSMETIC RESULTS, PROVIDED THAT TREATMENT IS CONTINUED UNTIL THE ACNE

ACTIVITY SPONTANEOUSLY CEASES.

HERBAL TREATMENT OF ACNE

1 .BURDOCK ROOTIS •ROOTIS ONE OF THE BEST HERBS USED FOR DIFFERENT DISEASES. IT CLEANS YOUR

BODY OF ANY IMPURITIES (ALSO KNOWN AS BLOOD CLEANSER). BEFORE STARTING PROCEDURES WITH BURDOCK ROOT, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT

ALLERGIC TO IT AND INFORM YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT YOUR TREATMENT.

•TO USE BURDOCK ROOT FOR YOUR ACNE CURE YOU WILL NEED 1 TSP. DRIED BURDOCK ROOT, 2 CUPS OF WATER AND A MEDIUM SAUCEPAN. PUT BURDOCK

ROOT AND WATER IN YOUR SAUCEPAN AND SET YOUR STOVE TO HIGH (OR MEDIUM). AFTER BOILING SET YOUR STOVE TO LOW AND WAIT UNTIL MIXTURE IS

REDUCED TO ABOUT HALF. MAKE IT COOL AND DRINK ABOUT HALF CUP THREE TIMES A DAY. ALSO YOU CAN APPLY THIS LIQUID TO AFFECTED AREAS OF SKIN IN

THE MORNING AND AT NIGHT FOR BETTER RESULTS.

2 .GREEN TEA LOTIONS

Mechnism: reduce the skin’s oil production and clear up blemishes better than most medications.

A.V: tannins ….. caffeine

3.CALENDULA OFFICINALS

A.V: 1.pentacyclic triterpenes

2.Flavonoids 3.Saponins

MEC: 1.anti inflammatory 2.wound healing

4.WITCH HAZEL

A.c: 1.tannins 2.primarily gallotannins 3.condensed catechins 4.proanthocyanidins

Mech: __tannins coagulate the surface protein of the cell leading to reduction in permeability& secretion ___anti inflammatory action …………….all that leading to reduce erythema

an astringent herb

5 .LAVENDER

Lavender soothes burning sensations in the skin—

by creating counterirritation.

If you have acne, your skin may feel better even though irritation is worse.

The net result of putting lavender on your skin is greater inflammation and more breakouts.

6 .LEMON OIL

Lemon oil smells great. Unfortunately,

it also irritates the skin,

and skin repairs itself by making even more sebum.

Stay away from lemon oil in any and all skin care products if you have acne.

FACIAL MASKS FOR ACNE

•CLOVE +THYMOL _____=ANTISEPTIC ACTION

•CHAMOMILE _____=ANTI INFLAMMATORY

•OLIVE OIL _______=ANTI BACTERIAL

2 – .PSORIASIS

DEF:• –PSORIASIS IS A CORNIFICATION DISORDER OCCURRING IN INTERMITTENT

ATTACKS. THE DISEASE IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE DEVELOPMENT OF REDDISH PLAQUES COVERED BY GROSSLY LAMELLAR SCALES. – PSORIATIC

ATTACKS ARE PROVOKED BY CERTAIN MEDICATIONS, ALCOHOL, STRESS, AND OTHER SKIN-DAMAGING FACTORS.

• – DIFFERENT TYPES OF PSORIASIS CAN BE DISTINGUISHED. APART FROM THE SKIN, THE NAILS AND ESPECIALLY THE JOINTS OF THE HANDS AND FEET CAN

ALSO BE AFFECTED.

HERBAL TREATMENT OF PSORIASIS

ALOE VERA JUICE

Action • Aloe vera gel is the condensed juice of Aloe barbadensis leaves. The gel contains enzymes, minerals,

vitamins, and saponins and has anti- inflammatory and antibacterial effects.

3.ECZEMA

•A NONCONTAGIOUS TYPE OF DERMATITIS THAT IS USUALLY TRIGGERED BY HYPERSENSITIVITY TO CERTAIN SUBSTANCES.

•TYPES

• –ACUTE ATTACKS ARE CHARACTERIZED BY SKIN REDDENING AND SWELLING WITH PAPULE AND BLISTER FORMATION. CRUSTING AND SCALING DEVELOP AFTER THE BLISTERS BURST

OPEN. ADDITIONAL SKIN DAMAGE OFTEN OCCURS DUE TO ITCHING AND SCRATCHING, WHICH IS OFTEN LEADS TO PURULENT SECONDARY BACTERIAL INFECTIONS.

• – CHRONIC ECZEMA IS COMMON AND CAN LEAD TO LEATHERY HYPERTROPHY OF THE SKIN, OR LICHENIFICATION.

• 

• – DIFFERENT TYPES OF ECZEMA ARE DISTINGUISHED :

• •ALLERGIC CONTACT ECZEMA IS PRECIPITATED BY CONTACT WITH ALLERGENS SUCH AS NICKEL, CHROMIUM, PRESERVATIVES, PERFUMES, OINTMENT BASES, AND PLANT EXTRACTS

(E.G., ARNICA)

• .•TOXIC CONTACT ECZEMA IS CAUSED BY DIRECT SKIN DAMAGE DUE TO ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION EXPOSURE (E.G., SUNBURN AND SO-CALLED SUN RASH).

• •CHRONIC CONTACT ECZEMA OCCURS DUE TO CONSTANT CONTACT WITH WATER AND SOAP, ACIDS, LYES AND/OR SOLVENTS (OFTEN JOB-RELATED).

➤GENERAL AND HERBAL TREATMENT

•AVOIDANCE OF TRIGGER SUBSTANCES IS THE FIRST AND FOREMOST PILLAR OF TREATMENT .

• –STANDARD TREATMENT OF ACUTE CONTACT ECZEMA CONSISTS OF THE APPLICATION OF COOL, WET COMPRESSES WITH OR WITHOUT SHORT-TERM

CORTISONE OR HYDROCORTI- SONE TREATMENT AS NEEDED .

•GREASY OINTMENTS MAY ALSO BE NECESSARY IF SKIN THINNING OCCURS DUE TO CHRONIC INFLAMMATION

CHAMOMILE FLOWER

ACTION • CHAMOMILE EXTRACT CONTAINS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY COMPOUNDS (CHAMAZU- LENE AND BISABOLOL) AS WELL AS MUCILAGINOUS SUBSTANCES THAT COUNTERACT IRRITATION .•

WITCH HAZEL

Witch hazel contains hamamelitannins that reduce skin redness by de- creasing the blood flow to the skin and flavones that inhibit histamine release. Bacteriostatic action

has also been reported

OAK BARK

•HAS A HIGH CONTENT OF TANNINS THAT REACT WITH PROTEINS IN THE SUPERFICIAL LAYER OF THE SKIN AND MUCOUS MEMBRANES TO

PREVENT THE PE- NETRATION OF HARMFUL ORGANISMS.

WHAT IS DERMATITIS?

DERMATITIS IS THE INFLAMMATION OF THE SKIN CAUSED BY FACTORS SUCH AS:

•ALLERGIES

•IRRITANTS

TYPES OF DERMATITIS

•SEBRORRHEIC DERMATITIS

6.SKIN TUMORS

•There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, •squamous cell carcinoma (the nonmelanoma skin cancers), and melanoma.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in humans

•Ultraviolet light, which is in sunlight, is the main cause of skin cancer.

TYPES OF SKIN CANCER:

•TYPES OF SKIN CANCER:

•BASAL CELL CARCINOMA (OR BASAL CELL CARCINOMA EPITHELIOMA)

•SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA (THE FIRST STAGE OF WHICH IS CALLED ACTINIC KERATOSIS)

•MELANOMA

BASAL CELL CARCINOMA:THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF SKIN CANCER, WHICH COMMONLY PRESENTS AS A SORE THAT SEEMS TO GET BETTER AND THEN RECURS AND MAY START TO BLEED. BASAL CELL CARCINOMA OFTEN OCCURS ON THE FACE AND NECK, WHERE THE SKIN IS EXPOSED TO SUNLIGHT. THESE TUMORS ARE LOCALLY INVASIVE AND TEND TO BURROW IN BUT NOT METASTASIZE (SPREAD) TO DISTANT LOCATIONS.

SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA

: CANCER THAT BEGINS IN SQUAMOUS CELLS -- THIN, FLAT CELLS THAT LOOK UNDER THE MICROSCOPE LIKE FISH SCALES. SQUAMOUS CELLS ARE FOUND IN THE TISSUE THAT FORMS THE SURFACE OF THE SKIN, THE LINING OF HOLLOW ORGANS OF THE BODY, AND THE PASSAGES OF THE RESPIRATORY AND DIGESTIVE TRACTS. SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMAS MAY ARISE IN ANY OF THESE TISSUES .

MELANOMAIS A CANCER THAT DEVELOPS IN MELANOCYTES, THE PIGMENT CELLS PRESENT IN THE SKIN. IT CAN BE MORE SERIOUS THAN THE OTHER FORMS OF SKIN CANCER BECAUSE IT MAY SPREAD TO OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY (METASTASIZE) AND CAUSE SERIOUS ILLNESS AND DEATH. ABOUT 50,000 NEW CASES OF MELANOMA ARE DIAGNOSED IN THE UNITED STATES EVERY YEAR.
