While I'm a big advocate for the skin acceptance movement, I think we can all agree that acne sucks. No matter what stage of life you're at when you're experiencing it, it's never that easy to manage, and often the only way to get rid of it (or reduce its appearance) is to do a lot of trial and error. If you're anything like me, this usually means making your way through Dr. Google's list of recommendations for treatment. The solution most often found at the top of the list? Tea tree oil.

So on behalf of acne sufferers everywhere, I've consulted NYC board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hadley King , Dr. Ross Perry, medical director of London's Cosmedics Skin Clinics, and Dr. Rekha Tailor, medical director of Health & Aesthetics, who's also based in London, to find out what all the fuss is about. And, more importantly, if it actually works for acne.

"Tea tree oil is an essential oil that comes from the leaves of the melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to Queensland and New South Wales in Australia," Dr. Tailor tells POPSUGAR. It has been used in herbal and alternative medicine for years. Boasting antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it remains popular in skin care today, sold as a pure oil or incorporated into products like moisturizer and face cream.

According to Dr. Perry, tea tree oil is a natural astringent. "It works to remove excess oil from the skin and lessen bacteria growth on the skin while speeding up the healing of scars, scabs, and infection due to antiseptic properties," making it perfect for oily and acne-prone skin, as well as a quick-fix treatment for breakouts. Basically, tea tree oil kills bacteria to ensure your skin is squeaky clean (in a good way).

While Dr. King favors ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids, dapsone, and sodium sulfacetamide for treating acne, she believes that tea tree oil is a great natural alternative. In addition to being antibacterial and having anti-inflammatory properties, she claims that tea tree oil also boasts antifungal and antiviral properties.

Pointing to a study featured in The Medical Journal of Australia, which compares tea tree oil to benzoyl peroxide, Dr. King also notes that the two work to combat acne similarly; however, though tea tree oil is less irritating, it doesn't work as quickly.

Dr. Perry, on the other hand, believes the effectiveness of tea tree oil all comes down to the severity of the acne. "Tea tree oil alone isn't going to get rid of severe acne," he admits, adding, "It would be generally recommended to help keep skin clean and aid the healing process of acne alongside other treatments and products."

"Depending on the severity of the acne, I'd recommend using it after a double cleanse," advises Dr Perry. He continues, "You can mix a few drops of tea tree oil with witch hazel and apply using a cotton swab, and let it sink in before applying a light non-greasy moisturizer. Or you can mix a few drops in with your normal moisturizer and apply that way." In other words, try to avoid using it on your face in pure form.

The main downside of tea tree oil is that it's an irritant. "Tea tree oil can be incredibly drying on some people's skin, especially if used undiluted or if you have sensitive skin," warns Dr Tailor. Dr Perry agrees, advising that you patch test on first use to see how your skin reacts to it. If there's any sort of irritation or burning, it's not for you.

Beyond this, Dr. King tells POPSUGAR that the only other downside is that data regarding the efficacy of tea tree oil is quite limited. While it's definitely worth trialling, you may be better off opting for an alternative that's been scientifically and medically proven to fight acne.

Here's What Skin Experts Really Think About Using Tea Tree Oil For Acne - POPSUGAR

WASHINGTON, D. C. - Facing the most serious election challenge of his 17-year congressional career, Niles-area Democratic Rep. Tim Ryan upped his campaign fundraising this spring, more than doubling his cash stash in the years second quarter.

A report that Ryan filed Wednesday at the Federal Election Commission showed he collected $306,011 between April and June. He ended the quarter with $393,608 in the bank - more than twice the $192,641 he reported at the beginning of April.

Ryan, who represents a district that was drawn to be safe for Democrats, let his congressional campaign fundraising slip in 2019 while he mounted an unsuccessful White House bid. He ended that year with the smallest campaign warchest of any Ohio Congress member. Questions over his commitment to his congressional job and his lack of funds drew a large field of Republicans who sought the chance to run against him in November.

An experienced former state legislator, Christina Hagan of Alliance, won Aprils primary and was subsequently endorsed by President Donald Trump. Her campaign finance report shows she raised $106,846 during the quarter, spent $29,585 and had $130,190 in the bank. She got $5,000 from a PAC associated with New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik and $1,000 from a PAC associated with Rocky River GOP Rep. Anthony Gonzalez who defeated her in a primary election two years ago for the seat vacated by Rep. Jim Renaccis retirement.

Her $2,800 donors included J.M. Smucker president Emeritus Tim Smucker, Foreverlawn owner Brian Karmie, S & K Asphalt owner Nicholas Skeriotis, Kalmbach Feeds owner Paul M. Kalmbach, and businessman Michael Gibbons, who made an unsuccessful run for U.S. Senate in 2018.

Ryan raised around 90,000 from political action committees, including $5,000 donations from committees representing Goodyear, Minor League Baseball and Woolpert, Inc.. Individuals who made $2,800 donations to his campaign include alternative medicine advocate Deepak Chopra, Stoneyfield Farm chairman Gary Hirshberg, Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes, Google software engineer and bestselling author Chade-Meng Tan, GOJO Industries Inc. executive chair Marcella Kanfer Rolnick, DeBartolo Corporation owner Denise DeBartolo York and her son, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York.

Much of the $105,663 that Ryan spent during the quarter went towards fundraising and campaign consulting. He donated $1,000 to the campaign of Democrat Amy Kennedy, who is running against party-switching New Jersey Republican Jeff Van Drew. He also donated $358.71 in pizza to the Howland Fire Department, to show support for first responders and front line workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, a campaign spokesman said.

4th District:

The amount Ryan raised was dwarfed by the $3,493,674 that Champaign County GOP Rep. Jim Jordan collected during the quarter. Most of his money came from small donors around the country, with just $13,800 coming from political committees. After emerging as a high profile defender of President Donald Trump, Jordan became a fundraising juggernaut. He has raised more than $9 million during the current two year election cycle, but spent more than $7 million of it, mostly on fundraising. His $2,800 donors included Jeunesse CEO Randy Ray, former Nucor steel CEO Dan Dimicco and Gibbons, the former U.S. Senate candidate.

Jordan, who is currently the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, spent $2,916,412 of the money he collected between April and June, leaving him with $3,157,010 in the bank. He donated $2,000 to Trumps re-election campaign, and $2,000 to Hagan.

The Democrat running against Jordan, Shannon Freshour of Marysville, collected $238,881, spent $146,334 and had $123,056 in the bank. Her campaign showed a $2,800 donation from former Hillary Clinton aide Philippe Reines, $500 from Yale University historian Timothy Snyder, $100 from Adobe co-founder John Warnock and $23.26 from actress Patricia Arquette,

7th District:

Holmes County GOP Rep. Bob Gibbs raised $59,064 in the quarter, spent around $13,0027 and ended up with $592,812 in the bank. The $52,500 he raised from political committees including $5,000 donations from PACS affiliated with Ohio GOP Sen. Rob Portman and Williams Companies, Inc., an Oklahoma energy company. His Democratic opponent, Quentin Potter of Canton, had not filed a report by press time. A Libertarian seeking the seat -- Brandon Lape of Danville -- had $571 in the bank after raising $1,175 during the quarter and spending $891.

9th District:

Toledo Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur, who represents a strongly Democratic district that stretches along Lake Erie to Cleveland, collected $87,138 in the quarter, spent $163,042 and had $689,675 in the bank. Political action committees gave her campaign $67,750 in the quarter. She got $5,000 each from PACS representing Woolpert, Inc., Fluor Corporation, General Atomics, Owens Corning and Illinois Democratic Rep. Dan Lipinski, who lost his primary bid for re-election.

She donated $100,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and made $1,000 contributions to more than a dozen Democratic House of Representatives candidates from all over the country.

Kapturs Republican challenger, attorney Rob Weber of Henrietta Township, raised $15,776 during the quarter, spent $12,968 and had $9,841 in the bank.

11th District:

Warrensville Heights Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge had more than $1 million in the bank after raising $60,664 in the quarter and spending $54,729. Fudge gave $5,000 to the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party and donated campaign money to several candidates in Ohio and around the country.

Fudge, who chairs the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Nutrition Oversight and Department Operations, collected more than $49,000 from political action committees, primarily representing agricultural interests like sugar beet farmers. Her individual donors included Land O Lakes Inc. president Beth Ford, who gave $2,800.

Fudges Republican challenger, Cleveland businesswoman LaVerne Jones Gore, raised $8,290, spent $7,293 and had $7,035 in her campaign account on June 30, FEC reports show. Her donors include Gibbons, the businessman who ran for U.S. Senate in 2018, who gave $2,500.

14th District

Bainbridge Township Republican Rep. Dave Joyce raised $228,712 during the years second quarter, including $99,000 from political action committees, spent $151,698 and had $1,441,817 in the bank. He collected $2,800 each from Gross Builders executives Gary and Harley Gross, Transdigm Inc. Founder Nick Howley, real estate developer James Kassouf and car dealer Diane Preston. Koch Industries political action committee gave him $5,000, as did PACs representing the National Association of Letter Carriers and the Netjets Association of Shared Aircraft.

The Democrat challenging Joyce, Hillary OConnor Mueri of Painesville Township, raised $140,071 in the quarter, spent $75,148 and had $157,576 left in her campaign treasury. Her $14,500 in political committee donations included $5,000 from a PAC associated with U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown.

16th District:

Incumbent GOP Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Rocky River collected $223,153 in the three months covered by his latest campaign finance report, spent $80,882 and had $1,056,612 in the bank. FirstEnergy CEO Charles E. Jones, former Invacare CEO Malachi Mixon, and former Eaton Corporation CEO Sandy Cutler each gave him $2,800. He collected $111,100 from political action committees, mostly affiliated with financial services companies

His Democratic challenger, Aaron Paul Godfrey of Westlake, collected $9,660 during the quarter, spent $1,324 and had $9,491 in the bank.

Rep. Tim Ryan makes up lost fundraising ground while Rep. Jim Jordan takes in nearly $3.5 million - cleveland.com

SINGAPORE (July 17): Pain management services provider Singapore Paincare Holdings (SPCH) launched its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange on Monday.

Incorporated on December 31 2018, the company focuses on the treatment of patients suffering from chronic pain. Their services include minimally invasive procedures, cancer pain treatment, specialised injections, pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavioural therapy, chief executive officer Bernard Lee details.

Additionally, it offers primary care and other services, such as general medical consultations and dermatology services.

These services operate under two specialist clinics the Singapore Paincare Center and Paincare Center and four medical clinics: Lian Clinic, Horizon Medical Centre, AE Medical Clinic and New City Skin Clinic.

Its upcoming IPO sees the company placing 24.246 million placement shares at 22 cents each. Another 90 million ordinary shares will be allotted, pursuant to its restructuring agreement.

The offer is substantially higher than the group's unaudited net asset value (NAV) per share of about 9.86 cents on Dec 312019, based on the post-placement share capital of over 161.6 million shares. At this level, it will have amarket capitalisation of $35.56 million.

The IPO is priced at approximately 17.74 times the price-to-earnings of SPCHs FY2019 net profit.

Novus Corporate Finance, a Singapore-based corporate finance and strategic advisory firm is its sponsor and issue manager, while UOB Kay Hian is its placement agent.

To Lee, SPCHs listing is a milestone. We aim to make the [company] brand synonymous with long-term, sustained pain treatment as well as business and clinical excellence, he asserts.

In its most recent 1H20 ended June, SPCHs unaudited earnings was up 85.4% to $1.14 million, from the $616,000 logged the previous year. This follows a jump in revenue to $5.1 million, double the $1.98 million recorded the previous year.

Lee attributes the increased income from a higher take up of pain management services over the years.

To this end, the company has earmarked the $5.3 million gross proceeds from the placement to expand its business operations.

Specifically, 1.1 million or 20.6% will go into expanding its range of pain care services to traditional Chinese medicine, and non-medical rehabilitive services such as physiotherapy,osteopathy, homeopathy and health spas.

This will help our company to provide a wider spectrum of pain treatments such as rehabilitation, exercise and training programmes, explains Lee.

We will improve the standard of alternative medicine practitioners by increasing their knowledge and also making them a part of our post-care ecosystem.

There is also potential for an increased patient base from such alternative services for our specialist and primary care services, he says in explanation of the $1.4 million or 26.3% of IPO funds set aside for local and regional expansion.

Of the remaining funds, $1.0 million (19.5%) will go into its working capital while the remaining $1.79 million (33.6%) will be used for listing expenses.

Looking ahead, the company intends to recommend and distribute dividends of not less than 70% of earnings FY20, 21 and 22.

Our ability to declare dividends to our Shareholders in the future will be contingent on our future financial performance and distributable reserves of our Company, says Lee.

This is in turn dependent on our ability to implement our future plans, and on regulatory, competitive, technical and other factors such as general economic conditions, demand for and selling prices of our products and services and other factors exclusive to the medical industry, he adds.

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the term for medical products and practices that are not part of standard medical care.

NCI provides evidence-based PDQ information for many CAM therapies in versions for both the patient and health professional.

Some CAM therapies have undergone careful evaluation and have been found to be safe and effective. However there are others that have been found to be ineffective or possibly harmful. Less is known about many CAM therapies, and research has been slower for a number of reasons:

CAM therapies need to be evaluated with the same long and careful research process used to evaluate standard treatments. Standard cancer treatments have generally been studied for safety and effectiveness through an intense scientific process that includes clinical trials with large numbers of patients.

CAM therapies include a wide variety of botanicals and nutritional products, such as dietary supplements, herbal supplements, and vitamins. Many of these "natural" products are considered to be safe because they are present in, or produced by, nature. However, that is not true in all cases. In addition, some may affect how well other medicines work in your body. For example, the herb St. John's wort, which some people use for depression, may cause certain anticancer drugs not to work as well as they should.

Herbal supplements may be harmful when taken by themselves, with other substances, or in large doses. For example, some studies have shown that kava kava, an herb that has been used to help with stress and anxiety, may cause liver damage.

Vitamins can also have unwanted effects in your body. For example, some studies show that high doses of vitamins, even vitamin C, may affect how chemotherapy and radiation work. Too much of any vitamin is not safe, even in a healthy person.

Tell your doctor if you're taking any dietary supplements, no matter how safe you think they are. This is very important. Even though there may be ads or claims that something has been used for years, they do not prove that it's safe or effective.

Supplements do not have to be approved by the federal government before being sold to the public. Also, a prescription is not needed to buy them. Therefore, it's up to consumers to decide what is best for them.

NCI and the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) are currently sponsoring or cosponsoring various clinical trials that test CAM treatments and therapies in people. Some study the effects of complementary approaches used in addition to conventional treatments, and some compare alternative therapies with conventional treatments. Find all cancer CAM clinical trials.

Lifelines: Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Dr. Jeffrey D. White, OCCAM Director, explains the use of complementary and alternative medicine in cancer.

Cancer patients who are using or considering using complementary or alternative therapy should talk with their doctor or nurse. Some therapies may interfere with standard treatment or even be harmful. It is also a good idea to learn whether the therapy has been proven to do what it claims to do.

To find a CAM practitioner, ask your doctor or nurse to suggest someone. Or ask if someone at your cancer center, such as a social worker or physical therapist can help you. Choosing a CAM practitioner should be done with as much care as choosing a primary care provider.

Patients, their families, and their health care providers can learn about CAM therapies and practitioners from the following government agencies:

Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) - National ...

Most rational people have an open mind on different types of medicine. What is labelled as alternative medicine in contrast to allopathic or modern seems to have become increasingly popular, especially here in India. Various forms of therapy and medicine come under this category. The late former Prime Minister Morarji Desai was an avid follower of urine therapy, repulsive for most of us. He never took any modern medicines, not even vaccinations, which used to be essential for travel abroad. Yet, he kept remarkably healthy and lived to a ripe old age. Cows urine is considered therapeutic by many Indians.

The use of magnets for alleviating joint pains, especially of the knees, is also practised. The ostensible theory is that even if there is enough cartilage still there, it can be regenerated by electromagnetic waves, and thereby make movement easier. I know of a friend living in the US who came to India to get such treatment. She could not climb steps and walked with great difficulty because her knees gave too much pain. But before getting a knee replacement, which the American doctors had advised her, she decided to try magnetic therapy. It worked wonders for her, as the cartilage did indeed regenerate and give her relief, at least for a couple of years. However, there are others who have tried such treatment, alas with no improvement. Then, there are some who swear by the oil massages administered in Kerala for arthritic pains.

In 2014, the Indian Government set up an Ayush Ministry, Ayush being an acronym for Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy. Siddha is similar to Ayurveda, the main difference being that Ayurveda is in Sanskrit, whereas Siddha is in Tamil. Unani is the Perso-Arabic traditional medicine, popular in Mughal times and apparently has an ancient Greek origin connected to Hippocrates. Homeopathy, founded in 1796 by a German physician, Samuel Hahnemann, is perhaps the most controversial of all these forms of medicine. It somehow has a big following in India. Many dismiss it as quackery, since its medicines are tiny, sweet white pills. Another friend of mine swore by it, as it had cured his severe asthma. His wife, a doctor, was sceptical. She decided to test the pills at a laboratory. She found them to be pure cortisone, a drug which does cure asthma temporarily, but its constant use has serious side-effects. Chinas best-known alternate medicine is acupuncture, the insertion of thin, long needles in certain parts of the body to treat various ailments.

The present government, in its nationalistic fervour, has gone all-out to promote Ayurveda, which its adherents claim goes back some 5,000 years. Yoga is an integral part of Ayurveda, and presently the best-known person who has linked the two is Baba Ramdev. However, there were others before him who were just as popular. In the 1960s and 70s, there were Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Dhirendra Brahmachari, both of whom became immensely wealthy and influential. Mahesh Yogi was the guru of transcendental meditation and claimed to be able to do yogic flying and levitation, without really providing proof. The Beatles became his followers, until there were charges of sexual misconduct against him. You are just like us, a disillusioned John Lennon told him when leaving his ashram. Brahmachari was Indira Gandhis yoga guru, and reportedly very close to her. He owned a fleet of cars, several sprawling ashrams, planes and airfields, even a gun factory. He died unlamented in one of his planes which crashed. I recall another guru who claimed that he could walk on water. He set a date in Bombay, as it was then called, when he would accomplish his Christ-like supernatural feat. Before an array of cameras and reporters, he trod on water in a tank and sank like a stone.

Ramdev seems to have been the smartest of the lot. He has deftly used his political clout to acquire large tracts of land at ridiculously-low concessional rates, to set up lucrative ashrams and farms. He has also cleverly converted his yoga skills and popularity to build an Ayurvedic medicines and products empire. Even those who scoff at the efficacy of alternative medicines have to admit that Ayurvedas use of various medicinal plants and herbs has produced products that are effective and have credibility.

Nevertheless, the reality is that the major medical breakthroughs and the discovery of vaccines and drugs that have saved tens of millions of lives worldwide have not been made by alternative medicine, but by allopathic doctors and scientists.

No major discoveries or medical breakthroughs have been made by Ayurveda or any other alternative medicine. The bark of the Cinchona tree, it was found a couple of centuries ago, produced a substance that countered malarial fever. It became quinine, a cure for malaria that is still used. However, it was an accidental discovery, not an Ayurvedic formulation. Admittedly, there have been disasters with some modern medicines. Thalidomide was meant to help pregnant women. Many who took it produced deformed babies.

Still, a large number of Indians repose a great deal of faith in Ayurveda and its medicines. Sadly, that faith has been badly dented by Ramdevs recent claim that his company had found a 100 per cent cure for Covid-19. Fortunately, the authorities did not buy that line, though they have said he can call it an immunity booster. All the top medical researchers in the world, including the WHO, have said that a reliable vaccine to counter the virus is at least a year to 18 months away, probably more. For Ramdev to claim that he has done all the necessary clinical trials is patently absurd and false. He has done a huge disservice to Ayurveda and eroded much of its credibility.

She recalled that she was first diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 2004, adding that she got an accident and blood transmission was given to her before she was diagnosed with the virus.

Witness said she was told that in those days people that normally donate blood were not usually checked.

She recalled that she was given different kinds of treatments. I was healthy in those days because people never thought that I was HIV positive. I was later consulted and joined Allah Tentu Society as the president. The group was to help people living with HIV, more particularly women and children."

She explained that she got to know the former President Yahya Jammeh's Alternative Treatment in 2007. According to her, she was informed by her colleague and then she went to Kanifing Hospital and registered. She said after the registration, they were taken to a big hall where beds were already prepared.

"The following day, we were taken to Banjul at State House to take our medications. It was when Yahya Jammeh, Dr. Mbowe, Dr. Mariam, Dr. Njie and others in uniform came before us. We were told that after starting the medicines, we will be healed before two weeks."

She further testified that they were given towels and a small cup and put into the room. She added that Jammeh will do his incantation and later rub a lotion on their bodies.

The protected witness stated that on the first day of treatment when she took the concoction from Jammeh, she experienced nothing disturbing.

"There were types of medicine called chakery and jinneh that created problems for us. The medicines were given to us two times a day. I spent two months in the Alternative Treatment."

She added that Jammeh had ordered for filming to be broadcast on the national television without their consent.

"When we saw the images on the television, all of us were worried and some started calling us."

"I am feeling many difficulties and because of the hardship, I left my community and I couldn't pay my rent. Now when some people who know and pass-by me begging, they cry."

In her concluding remarks, she called for support to her child as his father disowned him.

Stromal vascular fraction has emerged as an efficient alternative in the field of regenerative medication. However, better-structured and significant clinical investigations need to be carried out to demonstrate and define the therapeutic potential of stromal vascular fraction,says a PMR analyst.

Stromal Vascular Fraction Manufacturers Focusing on Innovative Methods to Optimize Tissue Recovery

Consistent up-gradation and innovation in methods to recover adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ATD-MSCs) for autologous use in regenerative medication applications are expected to offer significant opportunities for the stromal vascular fraction market.

For instance, LipoCell from Tissyou, is furnished with a semipermeable film that separates fat tissues from squander components with the assistance of continuous irrigation. The dialysis of the tissue limits the pressure and trauma to the cell and extracellular matrix, evacuating the blood and oil deposits, which are pro-inflammatory.

US Wellness Report - Gateway to COVID-19 Data and Alternative Medicine - PR.com

While I'm a big advocate for the skin acceptance movement, I think we can all agree that acne sucks. No matter what stage of life you're at when you're experiencing it, it's never that easy to manage, and often the only way to get rid of it (or reduce its appearance) is to do a lot of trial and error. If you're anything like me, this usually means making your way through Dr. Google's list of recommendations for treatment. The solution most often found at the top of the list? Tea tree oil.

So on behalf of acne sufferers everywhere, I've consulted NYC board-certified dermatologist Dr. Hadley King , Dr. Ross Perry, medical director of London's Cosmedics Skin Clinics, and Dr. Rekha Tailor, medical director of Health & Aesthetics, who's also based in London, to find out what all the fuss is about. And, more importantly, if it actually works for acne.

"Tea tree oil is an essential oil that comes from the leaves of the melaleuca alternifolia, a small tree native to Queensland and New South Wales in Australia," Dr. Tailor tells POPSUGAR. It has been used in herbal and alternative medicine for years. Boasting antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, it remains popular in skin care today, sold as a pure oil or incorporated into products like moisturizer and face cream.

According to Dr. Perry, tea tree oil is a natural astringent. "It works to remove excess oil from the skin and lessen bacteria growth on the skin while speeding up the healing of scars, scabs, and infection due to antiseptic properties," making it perfect for oily and acne-prone skin, as well as a quick-fix treatment for breakouts. Basically, tea tree oil kills bacteria to ensure your skin is squeaky clean (in a good way).

While Dr. King favors ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retinoids, dapsone, and sodium sulfacetamide for treating acne, she believes that tea tree oil is a great natural alternative. In addition to being antibacterial and having anti-inflammatory properties, she claims that tea tree oil also boasts antifungal and antiviral properties.

Pointing to a study featured in The Medical Journal of Australia, which compares tea tree oil to benzoyl peroxide, Dr. King also notes that the two work to combat acne similarly; however, though tea tree oil is less irritating, it doesn't work as quickly.

Dr. Perry, on the other hand, believes the effectiveness of tea tree oil all comes down to the severity of the acne. "Tea tree oil alone isn't going to get rid of severe acne," he admits, adding, "It would be generally recommended to help keep skin clean and aid the healing process of acne alongside other treatments and products."

"Depending on the severity of the acne, I'd recommend using it after a double cleanse," advises Dr Perry. He continues, "You can mix a few drops of tea tree oil with witch hazel and apply using a cotton swab, and let it sink in before applying a light non-greasy moisturizer. Or you can mix a few drops in with your normal moisturizer and apply that way." In other words, try to avoid using it on your face in pure form.

The main downside of tea tree oil is that it's an irritant. "Tea tree oil can be incredibly drying on some people's skin, especially if used undiluted or if you have sensitive skin," warns Dr Tailor. Dr Perry agrees, advising that you patch test on first use to see how your skin reacts to it. If there's any sort of irritation or burning, it's not for you.

Beyond this, Dr. King tells POPSUGAR that the only other downside is that data regarding the efficacy of tea tree oil is quite limited. While it's definitely worth trialling, you may be better off opting for an alternative that's been scientifically and medically proven to fight acne.

Here's What Skin Experts Really Think About Using Tea Tree Oil For Acne - Yahoo News UK

Many people regularly use alternative medicine to treat some diseases. These medical practices are very successful, driven by the wave of so-called alternative medicines that are presented in addition to traditional medicine.

Alternative medicine practices are very numerous, such as aromatherapy involving the use of essential oils, acupuncture, herbal medicine, hypnosis, mesotherapy Some have been known for a long time and are commonly practiced in certain countries. This is, for example, the case of acupuncture or herbal medicine and aromatherapy in China and Japan.

The purpose of these practices is essential to prevent disease and keep the body healthy. It is also a way to reduce medication intake and prevent possible unwanted side effects. One of the most used alternative therapies is undoubtedly aromatherapy since it can be practiced at home and without complications, just follow the instructions to the letter and consult an expert on the type of essential oil to use, this will depend on the purpose for which you want to use essential oil.

Essential oils are extracted from plants and seeds. In the case of palo santo essential oil, its extraction is made from palo santo trees or branches that have died naturally in the forest and have rested in their habitat for at least 2 years after their death, in this way this wood sacred manifests its many healing properties that we can use for our benefit. Within aromatherapy, we find incenses, essential oils, soaps, and even candles. For more information about Palo Santo products visit >> EcuadorianHands

One way of caring for the skin of your body is based on natural soaps with medicinal properties, thus maintaining good hygiene, beauty, and good quality of life. For the skin it is ideal to use soaps made from essential oils, within the market, there are a wide variety of natural soaps made with essential oils such as palo santo, lemon, lavender soaps, among others.

One of the soaps that I consider to be favorite is Palo Santo since it has great properties, including its high amounts of limonene, a strong antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory agent. Washing every day with this soap is an essential hygiene practice for health and comfort, this allows us to:

There are essential oils that can help clean the air and prevent the spread of germs in our homes.

For the purification and disinfection of our home, we can do it with essential oils by diffusion, the following essential oils can be diffused in a suitable aroma diffuser to clean the air: Palo Santo, organic lemon, radiated eucalyptus, Scots pine

Diffusion is ideally practiced for 30 minutes, 1 to 3 times a day, depending on your lifestyle. We practice it in a well-ventilated room and never sleep. There are many essential oil blends to spread. They are very practical for directed action. There are also many natural scented candles, made without harmful ingredients, and based on vegetable wax and essential oils, which can be used to flavor the home.

We can also increase the cleaning power of certain household detergents by adding disinfecting essential oils: true lavender, Palo Santo, tea tree, lemon essence the choice is wide!

With a neutral dishwashing product: add a maximum of 10 drops of essential oil per 100 ml of product.

With black surface soap: add a maximum of 20 drops of essential oil for every 100 grams of black soap.

With vinegar: Pleasantly perfumes your cleaning vinegar (white vinegar for windows or chrome). Simply add 5 drops of essential oil for every 100 ml of white vinegar. Then use this diluted vinegar in your preparations, or for your chrome or glass surfaces.

Calm down: to calm down in case of stress or argument, you breathe 3 times deeply an essential oil that decreases the production of adrenaline. Choose between Palo Santo, mandarin, or lavender.

Wake up: to give yourself a little energy and energy, you breathe 3 times deeply an essential oil that stimulates the activity of the adrenal glands. Choose from Scots Pine, Lemon, and Palo Santo. The noble laurel works, too, but on a more energetic level.

Lose weight: Breathing 3 times the grapefruit essence can suppress hunger and, in particular, the desire for sweetness.

Repellent: Ants, flies, and mice hate mint! It doesnt work all the time, but you can rub a little peppermint or even Palo Santo essential oil that has a similar scent over the complaints and corners of an infested room to prevent intruders and even repel mosquitoes.

Disinfect your fruits and vegetables: When shopping or at the market, it is normal for our fruits and vegetables to have a little dust since they are exposed to the open air. If when you buy it they tell you that they are already washed, it is recommended that you wash them again to avoid any type of contagion, you can use a little water with a few drops of essential oil of lemon, mint or palo santo and wash your fruits and vegetables, this It will not only disinfect it, it will also help maintain them.

As an extra recommendation: You can purify the air in your home by eliminating bad energy with the famous Palo Santo incense, burn a cone of incense and let the smoke clean your home, remember to do it in ventilated places if your home is not Ventilated try to do it when nobody is in the room since smoke can be bad for your health.

I hope this information has been of great help to you and you can put these aromatherapy and essential oil use options into practice in your daily life. Remember each essential oil has different properties, consult an expert before using essential oil.

Infectious Disease Drugs Market: Strategic Analysis size Understand the Competitive Outlook of the Industry, COVID-19 2026 - Jewish Life News

To date, the total number of coronavirus disease infections have crossed 12 million mark and caused the death of more than half million people worldwide. In spite of global efforts, there is no definitive treatment for the disease despite the multiple claims that have created controversy in the past few months.

Antiviral therapy, chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with Azithromycin, Convalescent Plasma therapy have been tried for treatment of Covid-19 but no trial has been able to show a reduction of the viral load and/or symptoms. Preventing infection is still the best available medicine in view of no standard treatment or vaccine.

Looking at the infectivity and severity of Covid-19, Ministry of AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy), Government of India suggested measures that includes the use of homoeopathic medicine Arsenic Album 30C, Ayurveda preparations such as Kadha (Ginger, curcumin, cloves, honey, fennel seeds, cumin seeds) and lukewarm water as an immunity booster.

Preliminary data from researchers at the University of Oxford have reported a 35% reduction in death of patients receiving mechanical ventilation. Results which have given us all much needed reason to celebrate. Multiple vaccine trials are ongoing and are currently our best hope for the management/eradication of the virus.

Patanjali, an Ayurvedic drugs manufacturer in India launched Coronil, an Ayurvedic drug to treat Covid-19 on June 23. The launch was based on their placebo controlled clinical trial results on 95 Covid-19 positive patients aged between 15-59 years, out of which 69 per cent were cured within three days, and 100 percent within seven days.

The results also claimed to reduce hsCRP and IL-6 levels in the treatment group and showed weaker IL-6 response, which would indicate a lesser chance of a cytokine storm, a complication which has had such devastating outcomes for patients.

Coronil is made of the extracts of pure Giloy, Tulsi and Ashwagandha. It is in fact a similar composition to Kadha, which is recommended to use as an immune booster by Government authorities.

Given the intense global interest in all reported treatments of Covid-19, Coronil inevitably started trending on Twitter straight after Patanjali held a media launch of the product as a Covid-19 cure.

The medical community immediately raised flags of concern over the veracity of the companys claims. Questions focused on the patient selections for the trials, which may have biased outcomes in the treatment group.

Wishing to avoid another false start in the search for a cure, the Ministry of AYUSH quickly asked the manufactures to furnish details of the study and banned the advertising or publicizing such claims until the issue could be duly examined.

Sadly this new claim of treating Covid-19 with an Ayurvedic drug has raised many hopes but the manufacturers have been unable to provide substantive answers on the composition of the drug, sample size, patient selection, study design, place of study, drug dosing, result validation, prior approval to conduct trial and ethical clearances.

Such promising results have naturally caused a media sensation in India, but without the supporting evidence that these steps have been followed it is another false dawn for Corona patients. When taking in the bigger picture, it is a sad fact that Ayurveda medicine will be viewed from a Western perspective with immediately skeptical eyes. Clinical trials conducted in this space have a duty to follow standard protocols, otherwise complementary and alternative medicine will be potentially irreversibly damaged and harm the rich history of Ayurveda and reputation of this science of Indian Origin.

This pandemic has united the world irrespective of caste, creed and religion and reminded us of the importance of collaborations. If the claim regarding Coronil for treatment of COVID-19 is not found to be correct after verification, this will be a big blow to the credibility of scientific research in India especially Ayurvedic research.

With the World Looking Out for Covid-19 Cure, Why Coronil Announcement Can be a Big Blow to Ayurveda - Yahoo India News

By Binta Jaiteh

A woman living with HIV&AIDS on Wednesday testified on ex-President Yahya Jammehs alternative treatment before the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission.

Fatou Jatta, said she was tested positive with the virus in 1995 at Medical Research Council, revealing that the disease deteriorated her health conditions.

She stated that, there is a group called Santa Yallah, they had a counselor, and a home day care volunteer, according to her, she was the first female who stood up to show herself to the world that she has the disease and she was able to sensitize people and other lives were saved.

Some people think if you have HIV that your ends but she said NO to that, you can have HIV and still leave and to her believe HIV is better than High Blood Pressure and Diabetes, she said.

She also said the former President Jammeh invited them to State House, adding all of a sudden they brought two full carton of drug and they were ordered not mention the name of the deliverer.

According her, their coordinator called her and said he received a call from the then vice president saying that Jammeh said she should choose 20 people who are affected that will be cured.

The president said he was ready to start the procedure, one of their members went in and to her surprise when she got inside, she was asked to undressed and the president told her to stretch her hands and he prayed. They rubbed the medicine all over my body even on the private part was included and they did not ask their concern even and she was weak and the camera was on her throughout, she said.

She said the medicine given to them has deteriorated her health condition, adding they were even not allowed to visit their families neither their families will visit them is as if they are prisoners.

TUESDAY, July 14, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Popular heartburn medications such as Prilosec (omeprazole) and Nexium (esomeprazole) may inadvertently up your chances of catching COVID-19, new research suggests.

An online survey of more than 53,000 Americans, all with a history of acid reflux, heartburn or GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) found that many took a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) to lower stomach acid levels.

Here's the bad news: More than 6% of the respondents also said they had tested positive for COVID. So the study team compared COVID diagnoses with medication habits.

The result: Those taking a PPI once a day saw their risk for contracting COVID double. Those taking a PPI twice a day saw their COVID infection risk nearly quadruple.

"PPI are very effective medicines for what they do, which is block acid in the stomach," explained study author Dr. Christopher Almario. He's an assistant professor of medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

"But there's a reason we have acid in the stomach -- to digest food and to kill any bacteria we may ingest," Almario added.

Prior research has already linked PPI-triggered drops in stomach acid levels to an increased risk for gut infections, traveler's diarrhea and food poisoning. "That's been shown time and time again," Almario said.

Recent research also suggests that the coronavirus sheds in saliva, allowing it to be ingested into the stomach. And "in a significant number of patients, COVID does appear to affect the GI [gastrointestinal] system," he noted.

In that light, Almario and his colleagues decided to launch their survey. The results suggest a link between PPI use and a spike in COVID risk, but they do not prove that one causes the other.

There was a twist, however: Higher COVID risk was not seen among patients taking an alternative class of heartburn meds known as histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs). These include Pepcid (famotidine), Axid (nizatidine) and Tagamet (cimetidine).

This could have to do with the fact that "H2-blockers are for mild acid reflux symptoms," Almario noted. "They don't suppress acid as long or as strong as PPI." Also, a small new study published in the June 4 issue of Gut suggests that H2-blockers may actually help to relieve symptoms among those patients who do develop COVID.

So what should heartburn patients do?

The researchers stressed that more study is needed to confirm the survey findings. Meanwhile, Almario cautioned against altering drug regimens just to reduce COVID risk "because the main way to really prevent COVID is to follow good public health guidance. Which means hand washing, mask wearing and social distancing," he said.

"So yes, H2-blockers are certainly an alternative option for those with relatively mild acid reflux symptoms," said Almario. "But we're not telling people to stop their PPI immediately. I prescribe them all the time when there's a good reason to do so, and it can improve a patient's quality of life. But if it's not, then perhaps this is an opportunity to take them off the medicine, or to reduce the amount taken."

In fact, more is not always more when it comes to PPIs, Almario noted. "There's a fair amount of literature that shows that twice daily doesn't really give you much more bang for your buck than once daily. The higher dose can be effective in some people, but for the majority there's not much increased benefit there. So we should aim, as I do, to use the lowest effective dose possible."

That thought was seconded by Dr. Andrew Chan, a spokesperson for the American Gastroenterological Association.

"In general, I do agree that individuals should take the lowest possible doses of medications such as PPI," said Chan, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and vice chair of education and gastroenterology at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

"However, some patients need to take their PPI twice a day to gain control of their symptoms. So it is important for each individual to weigh the risks and benefits of once-a-day versus twice-a-day dosing," he said.

As for a possible link between PPIs and COVID infection risk, Chan expressed little surprise. But he advised taking a wait-and-see approach.

"Based on the studies so far," said Chan, "it is definitely premature to recommend discontinuing or starting these medications in response to the pandemic."

Almario and his colleagues published their findings online July 7 in The American Journal of Gastroenterology.

Common Heartburn Drugs May Be Tied to Higher COVID Risk - HealthDay News

There is no one treatment plan or medicine approved for use against SARS-COV2 virus right now. After the infamous HCQ controversy, the prime drug being depended on remained to be remdesivir. A drug like remdesivir targets this genetic code, modifies it and is able to stop or interrupt viral infection.

While studies say that remdesivir maybe able to speed up recovery, it does not carry the same benefits for all patients. So far, it has only been found to be effective in patients with mild or moderate symptoms.

In retrospect, a drug like dexamethasone carries far fewer side-effects and so far, has been found to be helpful for patients in severe stages.

The treatment pricing plan is also a lot cheaper, with dexamethasone. A course of treatment at the prescribed dose may even cost less than Rs 10 per patient, making it super affordable. On the other hand, other anti-viral treatments require consistent dosage which could run into thousands of rupees with a single dose.

Alternative Cancer Treatment Market Evenly Poised To Reach A Market Value Of US$ By 2018 2026 - 3rd Watch News

Whether warm temperatures outdoors or high humidity levels in your home any ol' time are to blame, you may be inviting mold in. Chances are, you probably dont even realize that mold sneaked its way into your house, whether it's in your bathroom, basement, or near windows. You have to wonder, how bad is mold exposure, really...and do you need to worry about "detoxing" from mold from time to time?

Wellness forums and blogs might lead you to freak out about the presence of a single spore of mold inside your home, and may even convince you that youre going to develop mold toxicity if you dont remove it right away. Many also often recommend alternative treatment options for detoxing the body from mold such as activated charcoal supplements or dietary cleanses.

But many Western medicine experts arent convinced that these practices are actually effective. (FWIW, integrative medicine researchers arent even sure mold exposure is definitely causing chronic illnesses.) Some people who are sensitive to mold to begin with may develop allergy-like symptoms or even a more severe mold infection, but others might not develop any symptoms at all, explains Purvi Parikh, MD, a board-certified allergist with Allergy & Asthma Network.

Heres what you need to know about the mold that could be lurking in your homeand the degree of harm it can potentially cause.

So, no mold is really good or pleasant to have aroundbut, it may not be as dangerous as you think to have it in your home. Theres not enough scientific proof that mold is toxic for the average person, and you may not even know its in your house, says Dr. Parikh.

Household mold, which may make its home in an old house with water damage, for example, is more problematic for people who have mold allergies, asthma (both of which can be triggered or worsened by mold exposure), or are severely immune-compromised.

Theres no reason at all to live in constant fear of mold if you're an average healthy adult, Dr. Parikh says.

The most common types of fungus that will cause these allergy or asthma attacks or respiratory infections if the immune system has a severe enough reaction are Aspergillus, Alternaria, Penicillium, and Cladosporium, says Dr. Parikh. When people refer to black mold as especially dangerous, its actually a misnomer, because all of the above molds are blackish or dark in color, and one isnt necessarily worse to have in your home than another.

Its possible to develop a mold allergy over time from frequent exposure to mold in your home, Dr. Parikh says, especially if youre predisposed to environmental allergies. In the case of immune-compromised people (who are more susceptible to certain conditions in general), the body can develop an infection if the mold enters the lungs or bloodstream.

So its important to pay attention to whats potentially growing in your home, and monitor any symptoms, but theres no reason at all to live in constant fear of mold, Dr. Parikh says.

Mold toxicitythe idea that mold can produce harmful substances called mycotoxins that can contribute to autoimmune conditions and other chronic diseaseis a bit controversial. Thats because there isnt any kind of test for it or scientific evidence that any kind of disease exists solely because of mold exposure. Keep in mind that theres a lot of misinformation out there, both about the toxicity of mold and the treatment options.

Theres clear, validated proof that breathing in enough mold in your home over a period of time can cause or exacerbate both allergies and asthma, Dr. Parikh says. It can even cause an invasive respiratory infection, she adds, but any chronic health condition resulting from mold hasnt yet been proven to exist.

If youre experiencing allergy symptoms in your home, similar to a dust or pollen allergylike itchy, watery eyes, coughing, a stuffy, runny nose, or even a rash or eczemamold might be playing a role, Dr. Parikh says. The same goes for more severe asthma symptoms than usual, like frequent asthma attacks, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Your symptoms would be different if you have a mold-related infection; youll likely have a fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit and you may experience low blood pressure, dizziness, and even shortness of breath. But, Mold infections are actually pretty rare unless you have a very weak immune system, says Dr. Parikh. If youre immune-compromised, youll need to take any infection more seriously anyway, she adds.

Treatment for mold-related allergies and infection varies from person to person. If you think there might be mold in your house, and you develop allergy or asthma symptoms, its best to visit an allergist or pulmonologist to have testing done. An allergist might prescribe eye drops, nasal spray, or antihistamines, depending on your case (but dont self-medicate, Dr. Parikh sayslet your doc make the call!).

Allergy shots have also proven to be effective in treating mold allergies by halting the immune systems reactions in some cases, studies show. For more severe respiratory symptoms related to asthma, a doctor might prescribe you an inhaler, or additional medications such as steroids.

If you have evidence of complications from a mold infection, specifically a high fever, severe chest pain, or dizziness, you may need to visit the emergency room. Mold infections can typically be treated with an antifungal medication, which is customized to the type of fungus thats causing the infection, says Dr. Parikh.

There are various treatment methods out there for mold exposure, like sweating it out and even gut health cleanses that claim to detox the moldbut none of them have been proven by studies to treat anything (just like so-called mold toxicity cant necessarily be proven as a medical condition).

For example, activated charcoal is often used in emergency rooms to prevent treat substance abuse overdosebut it wont necessarily do anything to treat or detox mold exposure, says Dr. Parikh (despite what health blogs say). Probioticswhich are in and of themselves beneficial for your overall gut healthhave also been thrown around as a treatment for mold-related illness. But they cant treat an active bacterial infection in any way, Dr. Parikh notes.

Many touted mold treatment options also arent FDA-approved and may not be covered by health insurance, Dr. Parikh points out, so you should approach what you read about mold with a critical eye.

Theres no need to panic about small amounts of mold. Of course, if you recently had a flood or water damage, its worth contacting a mold inspector. Or, if youre in a high-risk immune category or have allergy and asthma symptoms that might be related to mold, you should definitely address it, Dr. Parikh says. Regular home inspections should be able to detect mold, though.

To prevent mold growth in your house to begin with, the ideal scenario is to use central air conditioning with a certified allergy and asthma-friendly filter, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

If you dont have access to A/C, try to use a dehumidifier, especially when its hazy and humid outside. When youre showering, turn on an exhaust fan or crack a window so mold doesnt appear over time. Cleaning the bathroom, kitchen, and laundry room regularly with an anti-mildew cleaner is your best bet to zap mold in its tracks.
