The importance of Omega 3 and Omega 6

Why is Omega 3 important?

Omega 3 acts as an anti inflammatory agent, and also helps the mobility of all the cells in the body by acting as a lubricant.

Omega 3 is one of the polyunsaturated fats that are essential to our health. Other polyunsaturated fats are omega 6, omega 9 and more.

Omega 3 has two main components; the EPA and the DHA.

Researchers agree that it is most beneficial to introduce to our diet the omega 3 with both the EPA and the DHA components together and not separately.

How is the EPA and the DHA in Omega 3 made?

Our diet needs to include some omega 6. Omega 6 will be essential for the production of omega 3.

The omega 6 fatty acid, when in the liver, will get elongated with more carbon molecules. This new molecule will be elongated again, in he liver, to become EPA.

The liver will metabolize the EPA and then DHA will be created.

Studies found that DHA does not convert to EPA.

Where in the body we can find EPA and DHA?

The brain and the retina are rich in DHA, but these organs do not contain EPA.

Anywhere in the body we can find the EPA that will help us with many bodily functions.

Where can we get healthy sources of Omega 6?

We can find omega 6 in various whole foods and oils, i.e., Sunflower, safflower, soybean, corn, and more.

In order to reduce the oils costs, these oils became less pure comparing to their quality of many years ago, and as such be used by the food industry in all the aspects of producing packaged foods and cooking in restaurants.

I use whole foods containing omega 6, for instance sunflower seeds, avocado, walnuts and such, peanut butter, eggs and many more. I do not recommend using the oils mentioned above.

Where can we get healthy sources of Omega 3?

There is plenty of omega 3 in wild caught fish like sardines, salmon, cod liver, herring and other fatty fish.

Other good sources are cashews, almonds, walnut, chia, flaxseeds and many more.

Examples of diseases that Omega 3 can prevent or assist in curing.

Triglycerides – May lower the level with increasing EPA.

EPA reduces inflammation by creating a molecule by the name resolvents. In one example, EPA can help with arthritis disease by reducing the inflammation and therefore reducing the pain.

When EPA goes into the membranes, it improves the fluidity and therefore the metabolism will run smoothly.

Our neurons must be lubricated at all times. This is the basic consideration to prevent Alzheimer’s disease.

EPA can control the heart rate.

Bleeding – EPA makes the platelets not to be too sticky and therefore clogs might be prevented. This will result in prevention of heart attacks.

Pulmonary diseases, overall improve the immune system and more.

Skin Diseases and Homeopathic Treatment

Skin is the body’s largest organ. The skin protects us from intruders trying to cause us diseases and also protects the body by eliminating toxins that are accumulating in the body and need to get out, like sweat.

The skin is a reflection of our body’s health. People are concern about their look and as such, they apply chemicals to the skin so they look better. These chemicals penetrate the inner layers of the skin and might get into the blood stream, eventually producing other diseases and affecting other organs.

Treating Skin Diseases with Homeopathic Remedies

Homeopathic treatment for skin diseases is the gentlest and at the same time the most efficient approach without causing any side effects or addiction to the remedies. As soon as the person feels better, there is no need to continue taking the remedy. There are many remedies that will help with skin diseases and a few will be addressed in this article.

Arsenicum Album

This remedy will be indicated when there is a rapid onset, the symptoms are of burning sensation and at the same time warm water or applications alleviate those symptoms. In the mental state the person that needs Ars. is very irritable, likes alcoholic drinks but gets worse from it and has many fears.

Graphite

This remedy is very good for psoriasis and eczemas when the skin is dry, scaly and there is no oozing. There is a lot of itchiness that one must scratch, sometimes until bleeds. If there are eruptions then they will be sticky like glue with a clear yellowish color. The person that needs graphite suffers from the extremes of heat and cold temperatures.

Sulphur

This remedy is indicated when we see burning pain and worse from heat (opposite to Arsenicum). There is burning itching that becomes worse at night. There are fears but less intense than in Arsenicum. Sulphur is one of the most popular and known remedies to treat skin conditions but at the same time a qualified practitioner must make the differentiation between other remedies.

Rhus Toxicodendron

In this remedy there is discharge that burns and vesicular eruptions. The person feels better by warm applications and worse by cold air. The person feels better by hot shower and by rubbing the affected area. In the mind state, the person that needs Rhus-t, is very restless and is constantly changing positions.
