Mononucleosis is a disease that affects many of the body’s organs and systems including the liver, respiratory system and lymphatic system. A person contracts mononucleosis by coming in direct contact with the saliva of an infected person. Kissing is one of the ways that the infected saliva can be transferred, which is why this disease is also called the “kissing disease.” Once a person has become infected with mononucleosis, he or she will exhibit some of the following symptoms: headache, enlarged liver and spleen, swollen glands and loss of appetite. Since this condition can do serious damage to the liver and spleen, it is important that it be treated right away. Fortunately, there are many home remedies available for the treatment of Mononucleosis.

Almost one third of the population of the USA currently has, or have had in the past, hemorrhoids. This common issue is caused by poor diet, constipation, a sedentary lifestyle, and other health issues. Hemorrhoids usually develop from damaged blood vessels and membranes in the anal canal or rectum, and can be extremely painful or itchy. While they usually go away on their own if given time to heal, they can be very bothersome while healing. Using a hemorrhoid home remedy can help a person suffering with hemorrhoids feel more comfortable, and can help them heal faster.

Benjamin Franklin included many gout remedies in the writing he produced in his later years. Franklin loved strong drink and red meat. He probably suffered from osteoarthritis rather than gout, however. Gout is a form of arthritis that occurs in the toes, hips, and other joints. This type of arthritis develops when the body converts too much uric acid into uric crystals. The body normally expels this acid through the urination process.

The blue and red star bursts seen on the backs of the legs and thighs of many women are called spider veins, and the large blue ropey bulges are called varicose veins. Not only is this condition unsightly and embarrassing, the legs may ache at times, and feel hot to the touch. Spider veins are just below the surface of the skin and may be accidentally nicked while shaving. When this occurs, the bleeding may be profuse. Why some women get spider veins and others do not, is due in part to a hereditary condition called venous insufficiency. It seems to run in families, but the condition may also be due to environmental factors as well. Normally, arteries in the legs pump blood back to the heart as it sends oxygen throughout the body. But with a poor venous system, the arteries in the legs don’t pump efficiently, and that causes the veins to become extended from excess blood. Although spider veins may also be caused from this insufficiency, more often they are caused from environmental factors and personal habits, such as standing too long in one position, too much sun, hot baths, pregnancy, and being overweight.
