HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR CYANOSIS
Cyanosis
is a bluish color to the skin or mucus membranes that is usually due to a lack
of oxygen in the blood.
Red blood cells
provide oxygen to body tissues. Most of the time, almost all red blood cells in
the arteries carry a full supply of oxygen. These blood cells are bright red
and the skin has a pinkish or red hue.
Blood
that has lost its oxygen is dark bluish-red. People whose blood is low in
oxygen tend to have a bluish color to their skin, called cyanosis.
Depending on the cause, cyanosis may develop suddenly,
along with shortness of breath and other symptoms.
Cyanosis that is caused by long-term heart or lung
problems may develop slowly. Symptoms may be present, but are often not severe.
When oxygen levels have dropped only a small
amount, cyanosis may be hard to detect.
In dark-skinned people, cyanosis may be easier to
see in the mucus membranes (lips, gums, around the eyes) and nails.
Causes--Cyanosis that is seen in only one part of the body may be due to:-A
blood clot that blocks the blood supply to a leg, foot, hand, or arm, Raynaud
phenomen
LACK OF OXYGEN IN THE BLOOD
Most cyanosis occurs because of a lack of oxygen in
the blood. This can be caused by the following problems-Problems with the lungs:Blood clot in the arteries of the lungs Drowning
or near-drowning, High altitude, Infection in the smallest air passages in the
lungs of children, called bronchiolitis , Long-term lung problems that
become more severe, such as COPD, asthma and interstitial lung disease,
severe pneumonia
Problems with the airways leading to
the lungs:-Breath-holding, Choking on something stuck in the airways, croup,
epiglottitis
Problems with the heart:--Heart
defects that are present at birth (congenital), heart failure, Heart stops
working (cardiac arrest)
Other problems:--Drug overdoses
(narcotics, benzodiazepines, sedatives), Exposure to cold air or water, Seizures
that last a long time, Toxins such as cyanide
