What was the Treatment of the black plague?
The most that could be done was that various concoctions of herbs might be administered to relieve the symptoms - there was no known cure. Headaches were relieved by rose, lavender, sage and bay. Sickness or nausea was treated with wormwood, mint, and balm. Lung problems were treated with liquorice and comfrey. Vinegar was used as a cleansing agent as it was believed that it would kill disease. But bloodletting was commonly thought to be one of the best ways to treat the plague.

Can one have an allergic reaction to Jasmine Tea?
Yes it can cause upset stomach in some people. It's to do with the Caffeine and tannin in the tea. Try drinking redbush tea (Tetley).
The above reactions to substances in tea, such as caffeine and tannin, are more correctly called sensitivities, as they are exuberant physiologic reactions to these chemicals. Caffeine stimulates several important pathways within the body, particularly the adrenaline-type pathways, which can lead to tremors, fast heart rate and heart palpitations (though generally not life-threatening), as well as nausea, if overconsumed by anyone. In lesser amounts, caffeine can overstimulate sensitive individuals. Tannin, as an acid, can cause GI upset directly.
Allergies are immune system reactions, hence different from sensitivities, that can be manifested in several ways due to the different parts of the system, and can sometimes be life-threatening. The body can develop allergies upon first exposure, or after using a substance safely for years. Larger chemicals tend to incite allergies more easily than small ones. Caffeine and tannin are smaller, so reactions are not common, but possible. As a complex chemical mixture derived from plant leaves, any tea is certainly capable of containing many potential allergens, in addition to caffeine and tannin.
Food allergies can be as simple as an itchy throat after intake, or life-threatening, such as swelling of the face and throat blocking the airway (as seen with shrimp). Skin reactions, such as a widely distributed rash, appearing after a day or so, or wheal and flare reactions within hours, are sometimes seen, but are not common. The most common type of reactions based on food allergy are diarrhea and vague abdominal pain.
If persistent, these can also be signs of immune disease independent of a simple tea or food allergy. See a doctor.
A true caffeine allergy would cause a reaction after any caffeine source was consumed, such as coffee and soda. Different teas contain different mixes of chemical, as well as additives for taste, so one could experiment with different brands and types if one appears to be either sensitive or allergic, though if the latter seems likely, one would need to exercise great care before re-exposure.
Heat rash is not contagious, actually. Heat rash is caused by friction and sweating, so if it's hot and humid, you have a chance of getting heat rash in your armpits, between your legs, and on your butt.

What are Non raised itchy red spots on lower arm?
Consult your doctor or physician, it could be a plethora of ailments. It could be a rash, however if so your doctor may be able to prescribe you with some method of treatment. Raised spots lead me to believe they could be a form of bite, try using a warm tea bag on them and see if they go down at all. If not;and if they are worrying you quite a troublesome amount, please make an appointment with your doctor. Depending on the area of your leg in which this is occurring it could very well be something transmitted sexually, however I would assume you would know if it were or at least have a faint idea otherwise you probably would not have asked haha, eitehr way, please consult a doctor for your benefit.
It is commonly due to enlarged lymph node. But examination is necessary.
What are itchy white bumps on my upper legs?
It could be an allergic reaction to something that you are eating/wearing or have come into contact with recently. Allergies can start at any time in your life so just because you havent eaten/come into contact with anything new recently doesnt mean its not an allergy. The best thing to do is get allergy tested.
Alternatively it could be a reaction to a bite where an antihistimine cream or tablets should help.
Do hives or transient skin rashes accompany menopause?
Yes this can happen. In some women (some may never have had an allergy) until menopause will have more allergies. I never had any allergies and when I went into menopause I got all sorts of allergies right down to some medications such as antibiotics that I had taken before. I went through it naturally. I did some research on the subject and yes indeed, going into menopause can cause rashes, itchy skin, bumps, rough skin, itchy eyes and ears, sinus problems, sore throats, dry mouth, more yeast, urinary tract and bladder infections. The reason for this is the tissues inside a woman are growing thinner and our immune systems are bouncing around from the constant hormone fluctuations.
How do you treat a rash from agave?
I have tried hydrocortisone (CortAid), diphenhydramine HCL (Benadril), and calamine lotion. Each have a very small, and temporary effect. Nothing works permanently. An internet search produced a rumor that Tequila poured on the rash will help.
I'm not sure if I want to waste my Hornitos externally. I think it may do more good in my belly than on my skin.
What causes itchy red bumps on knuckles of hand?
It could be a lot of things. Try washing your hands really well... if it is allergies, that might help. There are over the counter rash creams you could try as well, but if it is is serious, or if it lasts more than a day, I suggest seeing a doctor who can tell a lot better what it is and how to help.
All those who are struggling with eczema are fully aware of the quality of life aspect of this skin disorder. The eczema symptoms include dryness, redness, itching, flaking, crusting skin patches that are really frustrating. Eczema affects round about 17% of children and 6% of adults in the United States and this number is too much close to 15 million Americans. The skin disorder may get worse with the exposure to different allergens or the irritants. The question that arises in everybody's mind is Can eczema be cured or not? To be very precise, there is no scientifically proven cure for atopic dermatitis/eczema.
If eczema can't be cured, these flare ups can surely be minimized and can also be prevented. Children or the adults outgrow the disease while the others continue to have eczema flareups. Mild to severe eczema can be treated by the usage of different dosage of corticosteroids. There are many treatments that help you to get rid of the symptoms and get a clear, smooth skin without any rough, patchy skin. You need to understand your skin condition, the environmental factors, eating habits, that worsen your condition. Keep in mind that food you are consuming can be a main factor behind your flareups. Various treatments that can help you to ease the condition are discussed below:
Coconut Oil: Coconut oil has antibacterial and saturating properties that help to eliminate, slow down or prevent the development of bacteria on your body.
Apple Cider Vinegar: Apple Cider Vinegar baths are proven to be an effective measure against keeping germs away and low bacteria count on eczema skin. It also helps create a balance PH level on skin, which naturally prevents bacterial growth.
Bleach Baths: Bleach baths, although not so natural, are the most effective method of bacterial elimination on eczema skin. There are many studies that prove the effectiveness of bleach baths for severe eczema cases.
Probiotics: Probiotics are one supplement that seems to make a noticeable difference with skin health (especially if the problem is diet/gut related).
Wet Therapy: Wet Wrap Therapy is one of the best treatments offered to the Eczema sufferers. This treatment include the wet bandages on the eczematic skin of the patients to keep the moisture sealed in the body.
Consulting your doctor/dermatologist can perfectly help you to minimize and normalize your conditions as eczema can't be cured but the conditions can be treated.

Can you use triamcinolone acetonide cream for acne?
It can be used to remove dark spots or scars left by acne, but it won't heal acne itself
Is a rash caused by allergic reaction contagious?
Many rashes that weep a watery fluid, like the rash from poison ivy, may be very contagious. Dry rashes that are the result of abrasion are not contagious, but other dry rashes such as ring worm are contagious.
honestly - it depends on how you got the rash - if you got it off somone els then yes it is conyageouse :) ain't i braily love you all hope ive helped :) ADUU ! adelethomas <3
We don't know why each person has eczema. I think it could be different reasons for different people.
With that said, it is likely there is a cause. For some it is food allergies, for others, it might be something else. Don't believe someone if they tell you there isn't a cause. Keep seeking answers and you may find them.
With our son, food allergies are the main cause. He had really bad eczema and once we eliminated foods he was allergic to, it cleared up 90%.
Does inflammation in the body cause skin rashes that itch?
Allergies can show themselves through various skin reactions. The main reactions are rashes (small bumps or larger red patches), hives (also called urticaria; itchy, red raised patches on the skin), or eczema (also called atopic dermatitis; an itchy, weeping rash). These symptoms can have various causes. Most often it is allergies, but some people get hives from heat, cold or sun exposure. Contact allergies/dermatitis is defined as a skin rash caused by direct contact with a substance to which the skin is sensitive. Symptoms include a red rash, swelling, and itching. In more severe cases, blisters can form. Many substances can cause allergic contact dermatitis: poison ivy and other plants (such as tomato plants), wool, perfumes and dyes (in soaps, detergents, lotions, etc.), metals (in jewelry, hair clips, etc.), locally applied medicinal ointments such as antibiotic creams, and latex (often used in latex gloves). These can occur at any age and can appear at any time. It can take years for a sensitivity to a particular substance to develop, so "I've used this for years" isn't a reason to exclude anything from the possible allergen list. Symptoms may appear as soon as 7 to 10 days from first contact. Once a sensitivity develops, however, the reaction can occur in 24-48 hours. Treatment of contact dermatitis generally consists of avoiding the allergen. To determine whether or not something is the cause, patch tests (a small amount of the substance applied to the skin, then covered and left for 24 hours) can often show whether or not that substance causes the reaction. Other allergies can cause rashes, too. Some find that citrus fruits cause small raised bumps when ingested. Eczema is often caused by a food allergy, though there may be other causes. Cow's milk is a particularly common allergen for those with eczema. Avoiding allergens provides long-term relief, while short-term relief can be had by using moisturizers on the skin and taking antihistamines. Some find that using all cotton clothing and bedding makes a difference. Hives can be caused by a number of factors, not just allergies. Hives occur suddenly and may end suddenly, though there are chronic cases where hives are present for a month or more. Other causes of hives are sun exposure, heat and cold. Again, avoidance is the primary treatment.
