Skin infection can be a troublesome issue for many of us especially if it is serious and incurable by medical sciences. Preventing such infections and curing them is essential for general well being.

skin infections
We carry staph bacteria as part of natural flora of our skin with ourselves everywhere we go. These bacteria can travel from one person to another in the form of physical contacts. Sometimes when the pathogenic bacteria enter the human body it can result in worst staph infections such as cellulitis, folliculitis, impetigo, herpes and carbuncles.

Let’s explore various methods to prevent and treat staph infections by home remedies.

Cellulitis
A particular kind of staph infection caused by bacterium Staphylococcus aureus affecting skin at deeper layers is called Cellulites.

Fortunately cellulitis can be treatable with homemade remedies.
Home Remedies:
  • Proper skin care is significant here. It involves regular use of moisturizer. Use a cleanser and a moisturizer at any open sores.
  • One of the best and simplest ways to treat staph infections is, by washing the cut of the skin with soap and water immediately, once the skin breakdowns.
  • Another remedy is by applying an antibacterial cleanser to the wounded area of the skin and keep the wound dressing consistently dry. Always keep an antibacterial cleanser at home.
Folliculitis
This is a type of infection dealing with hair follicles that produce small white-headed pustules.

Home Remedies:
  • Applying turmeric to the affected area could work wonderfully well.
  • Try to always wear loose-fitting clothes if you are prone to Folliculitis.
  • It is highly recommended to use an anti-bacterial soap before shaving.
Impetigo
This particular infection refers to those patches of small blisters and pustules that become crusty after breaking open.

Home Remedies:
  • Add a few drops of tea tree oil to your bath water.
  • Try mixing calendula oil and vitamin E and apply the application to the affected areas.
  • Place a bandage over the infected area in order to prevent sores from spreading.
Herpes
An infection caused due to herpes viruses affecting the skin with blisters.

Home Remedies
  • One of the best ways to relieve pain is by applying ice to the sores.
  • Placing cold tea bags of Goldenseal and Echinacea on the sores should also work.
  • Take some cotton and damp it in baking soda. Apply it directly on the infected area.
Carbuncles
It is a group of boils that form deep in the skin.

Home Remedies:
  • Place a warm and not too hot tea bag at the place of a boil at least for 15 minutes a time, several times a day
  • Interestingly you can even cut a thick slice of an onion and place it over the concerned boil. Do not forget to change the onion in every three to four hours.
  • A paste of turmeric can be applied to the boils.
Suffering from above mentioned Staph Infections could be disheartening if not prevented and treated. Maintain good hygiene and prevent staph infections for the rest of your lives.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.
