Abscess Bacteria: If you are Too Weak, They are Too Strong

Abscesses, boils and carbuncles are purulent skin conditions. If the immune system is weakened, they can occur more quickly and become more severe. Article content

With a strong defense, this would not have happened! As in sports so it is with health – only a good defense keeps germs and inflammatory agents away. But the game is not lost if you react correctly! If the body’s own defenses fail, purulent skin inflammations can also be treated acutely and quite naturally with ilon ointment classic! Our immune system has a complicated structure, even a small disturbance at any point of the body’s defense mechanisms can promote certain diseases. Here, one immediately thinks of colds or flu, but: also purulent inflammations of the skin have it easier when the body’s protection shows weaknesses.

Small defense weakness, big effect

An immune or defense weakness can be quite big as an issue such as HIV or diabetes. But even a very slight weakening of the defenses can have fatal consequences for the organism. Often we do not even know that our immune system is not functioning optimally. Only when we suffer a repeated infection in a row, such as a cold or sinusitis, does the hidden weakness come to light. But usually only with a lot of luck, because doctors do not immediately search for the hole in the defense network with every infection. Many people suffer from a weakened immune system, but do nothing about it because they don’t know it.

Immune check: every “I” a danger!

  • I am a smoker
  • I regularly drink more than 1 glass of alcohol per day
  • I do an extreme sport such as triathlon or marathon
  • I do excessive general sports like jogging or weight training
  • I like to eat a lot of sweets, fats
  • I find my job stressful
  • I can not relax even during breaks
  • I am unhappy privately or professionally

Tip: Even a “yes” can have consequences for the immune system. With weakened defenses, the herbal train ointment with larch turpentine (eg ilon ointment classic) can also be used preventively against purulent skin inflammation.

Weak defense holes ports of entry

An active strengthening of the defenses is therefore essential. Sporting activity such as swimming, walking or cycling is important – but do not overdo it, that would have the opposite effect! A balanced diet with fruit, vegetables, whole grain and dairy products, poultry and fish is generally recommended – again: enjoy in moderation not in masses! Stress is a defense killer and should be significantly reduced. Who does not close its defense gaps, holes as it were the entrance gates for pathogens: Mucous membranes and the actual skin. Just as cold viruses then enter the respiratory tract via the mucous membranes and trigger colds or flu, bacteria can enter the skin and cause purulent skin infections. All it takes is a mini-injury to the skin, such as a small tear or a shave.

Abscess and boils: there it often remains dark

Purulent diseases of the skin are often embarrassing to many people, and then they do not talk about it – often not even with their doctor. For this very reason, there is a high rate of unreported cases of skin abscesses and furuncles.

Defense and abscess: treat yourself naturally

Of course, you are never completely protected from an infection such as a skin abscess, but you can fight or prevent it better with a strong defense. Abscesses are common because they are initiated by quickly occurring imperceptible mini-injuries to the skin on hands and feet. Bacteria can penetrate into these cracks and cause purulent inflammation. The inflammatory process develops relatively quickly, but not so fulminantly that one “misses” the initial stage. Typical warning signs of abscess formation are: Swelling, pain, redness and heating.As soon as you feel this, you should act – and also naturally. Strong medications such as antibiotics or even a surgical intervention can be avoided with a timely treatment with a medicinal, green and herbal tensile ointment!

A clean thing: natural active ingredients with strong traction.

Particularly good for self-treatment in the early stages of purulent skin inflammation is a medicinal green traction ointment (ilon ointment classic) with proven herbal skin active ingredients. Larch turpentine in combination with purified turpentine oil gently drains all pus, acts against bacteria and thus inhibits the existing inflammation. All this together brings rapid relief from pain. Essential oils of rosemary, eucalyptus and thyme also have a soothing effect on the skin and thus ensure good tolerance. The ointment is transparent, which makes it easier to monitor the healing process, and fortunately does not leave stains on clothing. Here you can learn more about the topic of abscess!
