All individuals who have just suffered from some disease or a period of illness will require a period of convalescence-thus convalescence is a time to allow recovery in the body of the person, during this period of time, the body must restore its strength and recover its health.
Diaper Rash Ointment
This 100% natural ointment is designed to treat and prevent diaper rash.
The body may still be very weak during this convalescence period as the recovery period will begin immediately as and when all symptoms of the disease have disappeared from the body-in all cases, however, the body will still be very weak and the person is likely to be physically tired during the period-the convalescence period will be at an end only when all energy levels in the body are restored to what they were before the illness.
Severe illnesses will induce longer convalescence periods as they affect the person greatly and recovery may take a great deal of time. Muscles tend to be become very weak and flabby, if the period of bed rest during the disease was lengthy or protracted. In such cases, the person may be suffering from very poor or impaired circulation, this will cause a great deal of dizziness especially when the person rises up too rapidly from a sitting or prone position.
While a patient recovers from the disease or illness, even simple physical exercises or any mental activity will greatly and easily tire the body and the mind. As it is the patient will suffer from poor concentration and the patient needs a lot of sleep to restore the body's health. There is also a deficiency in the assimilation of nutrients and the appetite is poor in general during a period of illness or disease-therefore, patients usually recover slowly and convalescence periods tend to be long for any disease or illness.
The period of convalescence can be said to continue as long as the body requires rest and till such times as full restoration of health is achieved. The period of convalescence can be greatly lengthened if the time spent in resting is insufficient, if this is coupled with the lack of necessary or vital nutrients in daily diet is lacking necessary nutrients - in some cases, such factors will ensure that the body never fully recovers its full strength.

Too much physical activity must be avoided during a period of convalescence and at the same time, too little activity is not good either - the period of activity daily when measured must be proportionate to the energy levels of the person, it is a good idea to undergo daily physical activity and the patient must be exposed to the fresh air - this is excellent remedy and helps to hasten the recovery process.
During the period of infection, the patient is extremely susceptible to possible sources of infection and the chances of catching some disease is high as the body is often very weak. Thus any exposure of the patient to excessive dampness or the cold can directly result in infection-which will immediately prolong the time spent in recuperation from the disease.
Recovery times can also be lengthened dramatically by the presence of any other emotional problems such as depression and persistent frustration about the illness, the patient needs to have a positive mental attitude because the optimism and constant high spirits will speed the path to health and aid in the recovery process.
Due to the slower healing powers in the bodies of older individuals-the elderly may usually require more recovery time compared to a young patient. This increase in the recovery time from illnesses in old people is necessary for all chronic illnesses, such as metabolic disorders like diabetes, different heart ailments and all kinds of respiratory diseases-the elderly must spend more time recovering from a bout of illness.
The presence of other underlying diseases must be considered especially if the time spent in recovery is evidently very slow-other possible disease such as anemia, a weakened immune system in the patient, the presence of disorders such as candidiasis, physical fatigue and problems such as chronic fatigue syndrome can all hinder the rate of recovery and lengthen the time spent in convalescence.

The long term use of these highly beneficial supplements is strongly suggested in the diet of the patient-some supplementation must be included in the daily diet of the patient.
Supplements of a good multivitamin tablet are also suggested as this will ensure that all vitamins and minerals required by the body are present in adequate amounts during the convalescence process. In addition to this multivitamin tablets, the diet of the patient must also include supplements of the vitamin C along with the essential mineral zinc in good amounts-the immune system is provided extra support by these supplements this additional support is very important for the patient during the recovery process.

If the patient has undergone supplementation using antibiotics, it is suggested that supplementation be carried out using the friendly bacteria known as the Lactobacillus acidophilus in a combination supplemental regimen especially when the initial use of antibiotics has created many digestive upsets or imbalances in the patient.

It is very important for patients in convalescence to get sufficient sleep every day-since, adequate periods of sleep will strengthen the functioning of the immune system, it also gives the body time to rebuilds the nerves and speeds the rate of healing from injuries. You must go to bed early every day as sleeping before midnight is most beneficial for health and does not disturb the biological rhythms. It is suggested that a person in convalescence should get at least ten or twelve hours of sleep every day to boost the chances of recovery, on the other hand even a normal healthy person should sleep at least eight hours every day-adequate sleep is a very big factor in the health of an individual.
The renewal of the cells is going on during sleep, as the body gets rests, it can concentrate on recovery and restoration of the tissues. Another important factor is the maintenance of proper hygiene on a daily basis. Sleep is hindered by having a sweaty and unwashed-sleeping in this way is likely to be very uncomfortable. People who experience cold feet must avoid going to bed immediately before addressing the coldness in the feet.
To prevent the feet from getting too cold, resort to a warm shower or the use of alternating hot and cold foot baths before sleeping. Excellent insulation is provided by blankets made using pure wool, particularly if the wool used is from camels and angoras, the blankets will create an electromagnetic field and help in bringing relief from pain and act in stimulating the healing process during the convalescence period.
The healing of bones and wounds is speeded up by the use of appropriate electromagnetic field therapy-the time spent in healing is cut down to at least to half the regular time it takes if no treatment is given. Skin pores must function properly during the recovery process and make sure that you frequently change or air the natural-fiber bed linens to help skin pores function-the use of cotton fabrics is suggested for bedding and other personal items.
