There are many over-the-counter lubricants, and in the context of natural medicine, we can look for lubricants that are less irritating due to a lack of chemicals and hypoallergenic bases. Something as simple as vitamin E oil can be used as a lubricant. Products are available that contain vitamin E oil and allantoin and are water based so they are nondrying and nonirritating. Other natural vaginal moisturizers are oil based rather than water based. Common ingredients are mineral oil, glycerin, yerba santa, castor oil, and more. |

To correct constipation, the body requires a correction of the irritating causes. It needs to be detoxified. A herbal detoxification blend can be taken regularly to achieve excellent results. Raw fruits and vegetables that contain enzymes, fiber, and water are healthy fare for the colon. The diet and digestion must be improved. Supplementation with digestive enzymes is helpful.
Additional fiber, from psyllium husks or flax seeds, for example, along with pure water, are helpful in retaining moisture and filling out the stool. |

Magnify this example by hundreds or thousands and it would appear survival rates have improved, when all that has happened is that cancer is being detected earlier. The irritating part of all this is why the American Cancer Society has to use sleight of hand to mislead the public into thinking more screening saves lives. It doesn't.
Cancer is serious business. If patients can't rely on the major cancer organization to provide accurate information, who can it rely upon?
There is no proven cure for prostate cancer, though there is treatment. |

Hexavalent chromium is used in industry, is irritating, and causes cancer.
CHROMIUM AND BLOOD SUGAR
Trivalent chromium enhances the effects of insulin. The body secretes the hormone insulin in response to rising levels of blood sugar. Insulin binds to receptors on cell membranes thus stimulating the cells to take in more glucose (blood sugar). This not only clears excess insulin from the blood, but also assists the cells in obtaining blood sugar. Compounds that assist insulin in clearing glucose from the blood are called glucose tolerance factors. |

The B Vitamins
The Energy Vitamins
The B vitamins were identified and isolated early in the twentieth century when refined grains were first found to cause deficiency diseases. The B vitamins work so closely together that it is hard to tell which individual B vitamin is missing when a deficiency occurs. |

If one day you get an aversion to these foods, return to a mixed diet immediately because your body is telling you that it has had enough and can no longer cope with so many toxic and irritating antigens. A cleanse consisting of raw vegetables or their juices has saved many people's lives by triggering a strong immune response. This helped remove toxic waste that may have lingered in the intestinal tract for many years. The body usually sends a clear message of discomfort when the antibodies begin to damage the intestines, which is the time to stop the cleansing. |

The fast-food chain served as a convenient and irritating symbol of how globalization was changing the treasured values of French cuisine. Now one of the farmers' major concerns was how new genetically engineered plants, incorporating genes from other species, might breed with their own crops and undermine the biological purity of their corn and the quality and nutrition of their food. The farmers' movement was going beyond assaults on la cuisine americaine into defending the soil of la terre franchise. |

This is so irritating to the intestinal wall, that the body discharges it as fast and as often as possible. Consequently, waste eliminations are far too excessive and frequent.
Having regular bowel movements once or twice a day by itself does not necessarily indicate good digestion either. It's the quality of the eliminated waste that counts. The following are descriptions of the main problems that arise from poor digestion and inadequate elimination.
Internal Pollution
Most intestinal problems occur because of eating harmful foods. |

Soluble fiber, which isn't irritating to the bowel, is found in fruits and vegetables, oat bran, barley, beans, and peas. Ingesting foods containing soluble fiber stimulates bowel movements, decreases appetite, and leads to weight loss. One excellent source of soluble fiber is powdered psyllium husk. It is often used for intestinal cleansing because of its superior ability to absorb moisture, lubricate the intestines, and mop up contaminants. Other good sources of soluble fiber are flaxseed, guar gum, and apple pectin. |

The following foods or cooking processes have strongly irritating effects on the protective mucus lining present throughout the alimentary canal, from the mouth to the anus: devitalized, processed, radiated, refined, deep-frying, microwave-cooked and canned foods. Highly acid-forming foods such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, refined sugar, table salt, chocolate, candy, commercial fruit juices, coffee, alcohol, carbonated beverages and oral hallucinogenic and pharmaceutical drugs also irritate the intestinal lining. |
| Regular exposure of our "internal skin" to such acidifying and irritating components as the phosphoric acid and other chemical additives contained in colas, for example, can lead to suppurating wounds and the perforation of the intestinal walls. I often see this type of damage as advanced tissue erosion while examining the iris (iridology) of regular soft drink consumers. As a natural side effect of repairing such internal wounds, pus is formed. Pus is decayed cell-matter containing plenty of bacterial organisms. |
| The following factors are the most irritating for the Kapha type:
Sleeping during the daytime Heavy food
Sweet, sour and salty food Milk and dairy products Cold and dampness
Spring and early summer Sugar and sweets Laziness
Lack of exercise and physical activity Too much sleep

Some may find olive leaf tea irritating to the stomach; consuming it soon before or after a meal will reduce this effect.
Range and Appearance
Olive trees are evergreens that can grow as tall as 20 feet, though they are often kept to a much smaller height when under cultivation. They are native to Africa, southern Europe, and western Asia. The trees can live for centuries, even for as long as two thousand years (though the average life span is three hundred to six hundred years). Though slow growing initially, they will sprout new branches if cut and have deep, hardy taproots. |

Niacin can be irritating to the liver, and I never recommend it for anyone who has liver problems like hepatitis. If you do have liver issues or diabetes, check your liver enzymes regularly when using niacin and use it only under a doctor's supervision. Vitamin B3 in any form should not be taken in amounts greater than 1,000 mg per day, unless supervised by a doctor.
According to my good friend Shari Lieberman, Ph.D, C.N.S., vitamin B3 may be lost in cooking water, so steam, bake, or stir-fry vegetables to spare as much of it as possible. neck. |
| Those airways become inflamed and very sensitive to any of a variety of substances (in air, food, or the environment) that are irritating or allergenic. That's one reason asthma is so often linked to allergies.
Sharp-eyed readers may notice that the words inflamed or inflammation have shown up in both of the above paragraphs. Keep an eye out—they're going to come up again. Remember that when we start to talk about quercetin.
Asthma is widely understood by almost everyone to be an immunological problem. The immune system mistakenly identifies substances—pollens, dust, dander, foods, etc. |

These destructive bacteria produce toxins and poisonous gases that can be strongly irritating for the intestinal lining, thereby reducing the digestive ability even further. Since less and less food is absorbed and utilized by the body, more and more waste is generated, which increasingly congests the gastrointestinal tract. At this stage, food turns into poison. Today, one-third of the Western world's population has been diagnosed with intestinal problems, yet the true figure is much higher when one considers all the undiagnosed cases. |

PRECAUTIONS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS
External contact with the severely irritating toxic diterpenes of Daphne mezereon causes erysipeloid reddening of the skin, swelling, blister formation and shedding of the epidermis. Extended exposure leads to the formation of necroses. Contact with the eyes brings about severe conjunctivitis. If taken internally, reddening and swelling of the oral mucous membranes, feeling of thirst, salivation, stomach pains, vomiting and severe diarrhea occur. |

A naturally healthy lifestyle that will eliminate arthritis includes the elimination of most meats, dairy, refined carbohydrates, sugar, salt, irritating spices, coffee, and the other harmful foods. As a regular regimen, one to three glasses of fresh raw fruit and vegetable juices should be consumed daily. When consuming citrus fruits and juices, because of their high content of citric acid which turns body and blood calcium into insoluble calcium citrate crystals, arthritic symptoms will be exaggerated during the cleansing process. |
| The headache is from stored toxins entering the bloodstream for elimination from the body, thereby irritating nerves in the brain. As soon as the input of caffeine is discontinued, the body uses this opportunity to eliminate the poisons that had to be stored when the intake was continuous. In its wisdom, the body knows it must clean house because these poisons are detrimental to its long-term survival.
The bottom line on what we can expect when we discontinue the use of stimulants is some discomfort during the period of withdrawal. |

Dissonant sounds from noisy equipment, low flying jets, rush-hour traffic are irritating and create anxiety and tension, while harmonious rhythms ease pent-up emotions, which can cause distressing emotional and physical problems.
The power of sound is reflected in how theme songs excite and unify sporting fans and why piped music is used in shopping centres to lull people into staying longer and spending more. Listening to pleasant music is a great way to unwind after a stressful day and 'new age' music composed with distinctive harmonious vibrations is even more calming and relaxing. |
| Although strong-smelling substances, fragrances and perfumes can actually provoke asthma attacks in some people, pure essential oils contain no irritating additives to aggravate. Nevertheless, someone with asthma who is unsure of possible adverse reactions should start by using essential oils sparingly.

Instead, he explained moxabustion's mode of operation in the light of conventional understandings of caustics, and existing European explanations of gout:
This caustick breaks the force of the saline and tartarous particles, which the too plentiful use of Rhenish wines leaves in the blood, and which, being fix'd about the joints, and particularly irritating that sensible membrane, which encompasses the bone, are the cause of gouty paroxysms.34
As far as Kaempfer was concerned, then, moxabustion worked like any other kind of caustic or cautery on the gout, albeit much more gently. |

Irritating leaks can issue from disinfectants and compounds intended to make our workplaces cleaner. Many of these agents are known to cause cancer in animals. Some, like formaldehyde, are proven to cause cancer in humans. In their daily use of these compounds, even at low doses, those working to keep the facilities free of infection were coming down with severe and sometimes disabling symptoms, placing themselves at risk of cancer and other chronic ailments years later. |

Use devil's claw in combination with demulcent herbs to avoid irritating the digestive tract, and avoid it during pregnancy.
Range and Appearance
Native to the sandy soils of the Kalahari Desert and Nubian steppes of Africa, devil's claw is a prostrate evergreen perennial. Its gray-green leaves are opposite and irregularly divided into several lobes. The trumpet-shaped flowers have reddish orange or red to purple petals with yellow, white, or purple centers. The flowers bloom for only three or four days. The plant bears sharp, hooklike seeds that look like claws and cling to passersby. |

Extended skin contact with the freshly-harvested, bruised plant can lead to blister formation and cauterizations that are difficult to heal due to the resulting protoanemonine, which is severely irritating to skin and mucous membranes.
OVERDOSAGE
If taken internally, large quantities can bring about severe irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, combined with colic and diarrhea, as well as with irritation of the urinary drainage passages. |
| Due to the cucurbitacin content, the drug has a severely irritating effect on skin and mucuous membranes. Contact between skin and the juice of the plant can lead to rash, infection, blister formation and necroses.
OVERDOSAGE
The intake of toxic dosages can lead to vomiting, bloody diarrhea, colic, kidney irritation, anuria, collapse, spasms, paralysis, and under certain conditions, to death.
Following gastric lavage, the treatment for poisonings should proceed symptomatically. 40 berries are presumed fatal for an adult, 15 for a child. |
| Characteristics: The rootstock has a strong and irritating odor and a sharp burning taste.
Habitat: The plant is indigenous to the Volga-Don region but has spread to almost all of Europe and outer parts of the world.
Production: Horseradish consists of the fresh or dried roots of Armoracia rusticana (syn. Cochlearia armoracia).
Other Names: Mountain Radish, Red Cole, Great Raifort
ACTIONS AND PHARMACOLOGY
COMPOUNDS
Glucosinolates sinigrin and gluconasturtin: In the freshly-harvested root, yields allyl mustard oil and a little 2-phenyl mustard oil when the root is cut up. |
| Extended skin contact with the freshly-harvested, bruised plant can lead to blister formation and cauterizations which are difficult to heal due to the resulting protoanemonine, which is severely irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. If taken internally, severe irritation to the gastrointestinal tract, combined with colic and diarrhea, as well as irritation of the urinary drainage passages, are possible.
Symptomatic treatment for external contact consists of mucilaginosa, following irrigation with diluted potassium permanganate solution. |
| PRECAUTIONS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS
The drug is severely irritating to skin and mucous membranes (redness, swelling, pustules and conjunctivitis, even without eye contact). Internal administration leads to vomiting, diarrhea and kidney inflammation (with as little as 0.01 gm). External administration on large skin areas could cause resorptive poisonings.
DOSAGE
Mode of Administration: Topically in emulsions, the synthetic anthranol cignolin is also used in the treatment of psoriasis.
