Diathesis in adults: treatment

Diathesis is an anomaly of a chronic nature that can lead to serious illnesses. Many believe that diathesis is the prerogative of children. But in fact, diathesis in adults occurs quite often, and for the most part people do not pay any attention to those minor symptoms that they manifest.

Where does diathesis come from?

Remember, when the children are small, they are much forbidden to eat? This was argued by the fact that in children the body is not yet accustomed to our food and so responds to an unfamiliar food. But with growing up, the human body slowly gets used to all new products and stops reacting to them with allergies. But the memory of this remains forever, the body is ready to again signal an allergy with the first bell. The causes of dermatitis can be heredity. Nervous shocks and stressful situations can be another reason. The provoked diathesis disappears by itself in this way, as soon as a person calms down. But as soon as the stress situation again, the diathesis will manifest itself again.

In adults, there are three types of diathesis:

1. Allergic , which signals a contact with some allergens. These can be food allergens mainly such as fish, eggs and egg white, various berries, chocolate, citrus fruits, seafood, peanut butter and peanuts themselves, etc. There is another kind of allergen - aerosol, such as household aerosols( for example, means to improve the smell in the apartment) and natural( eg, pollen, dust).
2. Asthenic , in which there is a strong decrease in pressure, a strong weight loss, suppression of the nervous system.
3. With , hypersthenic diathesis occurs on the contrary, excessive increase in pressure and weight.
