Disorders, irritations, ailments, and bodily systems treated by Celery
Arthritis – In case you don’t know what it is by now, let me clarify. Arthritis is when there is serious damage to joints in the body. There are certain kinds of arthritis; rheumatoid arthritis for example can be an autoimmune disease where the body will literally be attacking itself.
Bladder problems – This elastic organ that collects urine from the kidneys can be host to any number of illnesses and deficiencies; such as, bladder sphincter dyssynergia or the condition that can lead to incontinent urination, Cystitis or the inflammation of the bladder, and Hematuria or the presence of blood in your urine.
Bright’s disease
Cancer – This is a disease we’ve all been introduced to in one way or another. But hardly anyone ever tells you how it works. Well, let me explain. Cancer is an unnatural division and propagation of cells. Plus, when you get too many cells growing in one place, they can invade and destroy other tissues. This disease can travel to all parts of the body, and form in many organs; such as, the kidneys, the lungs, the bladder and stomach.
Post-nasal and pulmonary catarrh – Catarrh is a swelling of the mucous membrane that can lead to discharges from the nose.
Diabetes – A disorder in which the body can no longer metabolize insulin, carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Severe conditions require frequent shots of insulin.
Dropsy – Accumulation of clear fluids in bodily tissues or cavities, and an obsolete term to describe many other fluid retaining states is dropsy.
Frigidity – Most commonly found with women, frigidity is a psychological inability to react during sex.
Gas – Caused by changes in pressure or temperature, gas is simply a vapor or air-like state of matter, different from any solid or liquid states by freely moving, greatly expanding and contracting molecules. If you think that’s a mouthful, try reading up on all the different kinds of gasses. I won’t go into detail. But, there is many different types, including inert gas, methane gas, laughing gas, tear gas and even water gas.
Gout – If you have gout, you’ve got too much uric acid in your blood. Your joints, especially in the big toes will have painful inflammation.
Headache – This should be self-explanatory. But if it’s not, allow me to explain what a headache is. A headache or cephalalgia is simple a pain or ache in the head. You can have many kinds, including a blind headache or as it is more commonly known, a migraine headache. A cluster or histaminic headache is simply a recurring headache in the area right behind the eyes. Also, there are tension headaches and organic headaches.
Impotence – Impotence is simply when a man can’t get an erection.
Insomnia – Simply put, if for whatever reason you just can’t fall asleep or stay asleep, you’re suffering from insomnia.
Liver problems – The liver is a mult-purpose and extremely helpful organ, but it can be host to a number of diseases and disorders; such as, Hepatitis or inflammation of the liver, Cirrhosis or the formation of fibrous tissue inside the liver, Gilbert’s syndrome or the genetic disorder of the bilirubin metabolism, and Glycogen storage disease II which leads to progressive muscle weakness.
Lumbago – Simply put, lumbago is backache in the lumbar region.
Delayed menstruation – Menstruation is when blood discharges from the uterus. It usually occurs every 4 weeks and lasts from 3 to 5 days in women. In typical menstruation cycles, this process is preceded by ovulation.
Nervousness
Neuralgia – Having severe pain along the course of a nerve is neuralgia. The only other form is trigeminal or a facial pain usually located near the nerve of the same name.
Rheumatism – A term that best describes disorders of the heart, bones, joints, kidneys, and lungs. A symptom of Rheumatism is back pain.
Urine retention – Also called ischuria, urine retention when you’re unable to urinate, commonly associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy. This is also called benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH. Urine retention can lead to bladder stones, and congestion of the kidneys.
Vomiting – This should be self-explanatory. But I think we should go into it – if for nothing else – for the fun of it. Simply put, vomiting is when all of the contents of your stomach are expelled up through your esophagus and out your mouth.
