Vol. 40 Eczema Part-II (Swelling Type)
|
Last time I talked about the cause of swelling type eczema.
Now let me introduce countermeasures against swelling type eczema.
1. No cold beverages or food
Cold food and drinks cool down the intestines, but this impairs their ability to generate heat.
As much as possible, try to eat or drink something warmer than your body temperature.
2. Warm the Intestines
It is effective to do half body bathing to warm the Intestines since the coldness of the Intestines causes indigestion.
Refer to the following URL about how to do half body bathing.

3. Strengthen the Spleen energy
It is effective to eat a dish of pumpkin, Adzuki beans and scallions, or instead of scallions, it is good to put in Konnyaku (devil's tongue).
Refer to Vol. 35 Diabetes Part-II for the recipe.
4. Strengthen the power of digestion
To strengthen the power of digestion, it is important to get digestive juices flowing. Sucking on a piece of Umeboshi (pickled ume) and Kelp for about 30 minutes before each meal is effective.
Also it is important to chew well. A good amount of chewing is 30 to 50 times for one bite.
