Why the ocean is good for your health. Specifically, why it’s good for skin conditions like Eczema and Psoriasis.

Let’s start with the ocean breeze according to Lung Institute in Florida just by breathing in the air you can improve lung function, and decrease sinus pressure. Not only that sea air accelerates the ability to absorb oxygen due to the negative ions that is found in sea air.

When your body can absorb more oxygen, it will in turn increase blood circulation. This will speed up the process of recuperating the skin such as wounds. Both Eczema and Psoriasis are like wounds on the skin due to the increase inflammation and the scratches that occur after relieving an itch.

So, is it good to swim in the ocean when you have a flare up?

Yes! it will help you recover quickly. Now let us discuss the healing benefits of ocean water.
Ocean water contains Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfate, Potassium, as well as dissolved gasses, including Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon Dioxide.

What exactly does all that mean?

The ocean has the power to absorb toxins out of your body and remove any bacteria that is on your skin. Eczema often times at its worse runs the risk of getting infected if not thoroughly washed everyday. By just swimming in the ocean you are able to remove these toxins and help your body to go into “healing mode” quickly.

Not only is the ocean water good for your skin but the sand you walk on also helps you. By relaxing your muscles you are able to calm your mind. Your mind is very powerful when under stress it can trigger your eczema no matter how perfect your diet or conditions are.

EXFOLIATION: Helps stimulate blood flow and the lymphatic system. Sand exfoliates your feet and your skin and can be used to help aid your body in the shedding of dead skin.

How It Feels to Have Anxiety & Depression

Yara Health mental health 0

How does it feel to have Anxiety and Depression at the same time? It comes out of nowhere. Suddenly you fall into the bottom of a dark well. You land in a pool of deep water gasping for air you reach the surface. Your still alive but feel like your dying. Anxiety starts to kick in. Your trying to escape but there is no way up. You see sunlight at the top of the well but it is far away. You see the people that are happy and joyful but it is out of reach.

Your trapped at the bottom of the well. It’s torture seeing the people walk past the well you are trapped in. Some people look down at the well but then walk away. Your screaming for help but no one can hear you. It’s all in your head. In reality you are unable to react. No one is able to help you they can’t hear the mental screaming.

You want to escape this state of mind so much you begin punching the brick wall that surrounds you. You keep punching till your hands are bruised and bleeding and then suddenly you realize that there’s no way up.

Now the anxiety has left but depression has taken over. Your just floating in the murky water staring at the opening that is above you. Till the point you get tired of trying to live and you begin to sink. Your muscles tired of fighting no longer moving until your lungs slowly begin to fill up with water and your breathing stops.

This is something I wrote awhile back *note I don’t feel like this right now but sometimes those thoughts come back and I just keep fighting.

I’m going to keep sharing my struggles even though I know my voice will not be heard today this is just for me. If you suffer from either Anxiety or Depression feel free to share your story below.
