Acne, because it often appears in adolescence, is considered to be an inevitable stage of puberty, and acne often heals without treatment, so many teenagers do not pay attention to acne, resulting in mite infection, rough skin on the face, Moisture loss, damaged hair follicles, etc.In fact, from a medical point of view, acne is a multifactorial disease, which is mainly related to each person's sex hormone secretion level, sebaceous gland secretion, Propionibacterium acnes proliferation, and abnormal keratinization of pilosebaceous gland ducts.Although acne is a disease with a tendency of self-healing, severe acne will affect the quality of life of patients and cause mental stress and financial burden for patients, so we must pay enough attention to it.

[The nurse said] Acne is a problem that plagues many people, especially young people.I remember when I was studying, one of my college classmates, a girl, had a beautiful and refined temperament, but she had constant acne on her face. Everyone thought she had endocrine disorders or something.So she bought a lot of beauty tea and came back to drink it. It is said that she went to the skin hospital to do photorejuvenation, infrared hair follicle shrinkage and many other minor operations. As a result, the acne did not improve, but became more and more serious.

Seeing that the faces of my classmates were almost full, I couldn't bear it. When I was in class that day, I skipped class with her and went home to ask my grandpa for help.Grandpa looked at it and said that the classmate had acne caused by dry fire, and after the acne developed, he got infected with mites, which made the acne more and more serious and lasted for a long time.According to our living conditions in the university, my grandfather told my classmates two small secret recipes, one is cucumber drink, mash the cucumber or directly use a blender to make a paste, drink the slag and juice, and you can also make more honey detoxification tea on weekdays To drink instead of tea.

After that, when the classmates came together in the morning, they had cucumber juice and steamed buns for breakfast, and honey detox drink as tea on weekdays. In less than a month, the acne problem improved greatly, and the youthful and beautiful face appeared again.

【Grandpa said】

Acne, on the other hand long-term consumption can help people have clear skin and ruddy complexion.

Every woman wants to be beautiful and youthful forever, but in the face of the pressure of work and life, coupled with the erosion of the years, annoying spots crawl on our faces unconsciously.Regarding the freckles on the face, I believe everyone knows a classic old saying, that is, "It takes only three days to form freckles, and it takes three years to remove them." Sunshine, computer radiation and many other factors make our skin accumulate melanin, and it will soon disappear. Climb to the epidermis, hang on the face, let us look annoyed.But it is really difficult and difficult to get rid of these melanin.

It is said that we all had the appearance and skin of a young girl at that time, but there was a female classmate with loose skin and pigmentation. She looked 27 or [-] years old at least. She came to me , I hope I will take her to see Grandpa.I asked her, what disease do you want to see?She said she wanted to maintain the complexion and anti-aging.

Later, when she went to her grandfather's house, she said that she was studying art design, and she always had to stay up all night. In addition, she had to face the computer during and after class on weekdays, and she didn't pay attention to maintenance, so that her skin seemed to lose its luster. A lot older.Grandpa said that this kind of premature aging skin is not uncommon, so students don't have to worry too much.

Grandpa said that the black fungus and red dates soup is the best product for women to beautify their beauty. He asked her to buy more black fungus and red dates to make soup after returning to school. , will also be beneficial.

So the classmate followed her grandfather's instructions and cooked black fungus and red dates soup in the dormitory every day. The effect was immediate. In less than a month, her complexion became rosy, all the spots disappeared, and her skin looked younger and tighter.

"Beriberi" medically speaking, is mainly caused by the lack of vitamin B1 in the human body.Under normal circumstances, foods such as soybeans, mung beans, millet, barley, whole wheat, peanuts, pork, yeast, and cereal germs that we usually eat are rich in vitamin B1.However, in the daily diet, if eating too much alkali or fried, spicy food, it will cause a large loss of vitamin B[-] in our body and cause beriberi.

Beriberi is not a serious disease, and many people will have it, but in most cases, beriberi will be accompanied by peeling of the feet, and itching, which is unbearable for people. Therefore, beriberi should be treated in time.Because beriberi is mainly caused by the lack of anti-beriberi vitamin B1 in the body, in the process of solving beriberi, it is necessary to think about its treatment in reverse—that is, to find ways to increase the vitamin B1 inside the body.So, how to increase it?Diet is a direct and effective method.

[The nurse said] Once I went shopping with a few friends to buy shoes.While everyone was happily trying on shoes, one student wanted to buy shoes just by making gestures.I advised her to try on the shoes, but another friend told me that there was a reason why she didn't want to take off her shoes and try them on, because she had athlete's foot.I laughed out loud, beriberi is not a serious disease, let alone an intractable disease.

So I went to my friend and told her that beriberi is not a serious illness, and let her try on the shoes with peace of mind, but she was still worried, so I comforted her and took her to see a doctor at her grandfather's house.

Grandpa said that beriberi, from the perspective of western medicine, is caused by the lack of vitamin B1 in the human body. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is caused by the accumulation of toxins in the body and poor efflux, which leads to stasis of the meridians.It is not a serious illness that is difficult to cure, so my friends can feel at ease.Grandpa told a friend a complete soup meal therapy, that is boiled herring with leeks and seaweed soup, or winter melon cup, peanut and chicken feet soup. In addition, you can drink malt water several times a week on weekdays, so that athlete’s foot will be cured, and there is no need to worry about athlete’s foot Sick and embarrassing.

[Grandpa said] The above five therapeutic soups are life diet therapy for treating beriberi, which can help people better treat beriberi and improve the effect of treating beriberi.At the same time, everyone should eat more vitamin-containing diets to regulate, such as using soybeans, mung beans, millet, barley, peanuts, oats, barley, wheat, etc. to cook porridge, and eating whole wheat flour steamed buns made with yeast, and strive to obtain vitamins from food. More vitamin B1 can achieve the goal of basically curing "beriberi" through diet adjustment.

There will be a small off-white or black line at the diseased area, and there will be a papule or herpes the size of a grain of rice at the end of the line. The local area is accompanied by severe itching, which is easy to spread to the surrounding skin, and then abscesses appear, which is a highly contagious skin disease.

[Nurse said] A male patient once came to his grandfather and said that he had a hemorrhoid in his groin. Grandpa saw that it was not a hemorrhoid, but scabies.Grandpa said that small off-white or black lines can be seen clearly at the site of scabies, and there will be a pimple or herpes the size of a rice grain inside, which is itchy and will spread. It is a highly contagious skin disease.Therefore, Grandpa recommends early treatment for patients, internal adjustment and external treatment, and a two-pronged approach.On the one hand, grandpa suggested that the patient first use pig bile or pepper water for external application. Since the patient's scabies had spread to a certain extent, using pepper water was afraid that the patient would itch, so grandpa suggested him to use pig bile for external application.On the other hand, he should drink more loofah water. Grandpa suggested that he boil a pot of loofah water every night, take it to the office during the day, and drink loofah water when he is thirsty.Finally, at dinner time, you should drink more loach soup, so that the combination of three medicines and their synergistic effect can quickly solve the patient's scabies problem.

Therefore, patients should quit spicy products such as chili, chili oil, curry, Sichuan pepper, leek, garlic sprouts, and mustard.At the same time, fried and deep-fried foods are difficult to digest and will also promote dampness and heat. Therefore, fried pork chops, fried steaks, fried peanuts, fried bean boards, fried chicken, roast lamb and other foods are not suitable for consumption. It is best to eat more steamed, stewed, Boiled and fried food.In addition, seafood must be banned, because seafood will promote the spread of inflammation, and in severe cases, it will further worsen scabies, so seafood must not be eaten.
