Abscesses are usually an accumulation of pus caused by an infection consisting of dead white blood cells and microorganisms.
Abscesses can appear anywhere on the body, internally or externally, including ears, nose, throat, gums, abdominal wall, rectum or skin.
If an abscess appears around a hair follicle, it is usually referred to as a boil. Boils notoriously appear on your bottom or in your armpit. It's another way for waste to make its way out.
• Depleted immune system.
• Injury to an area.
• Nutrient deficiencies, possibly zinc.
• Toxic overload and blood impurities due to unhealthy diet and lifestyle.
• Inefficient detoxification and elimination of toxins from the body.
• High-sugar diet and blood-sugar imbalances. Diabetics are at extra risk as are people who are overweight. It is not uncommon for diabetics to get leg abscesses
• Viral infection.
Abscesses may appear in the form of red spots, raised red bumps, inflamed lesions, or yellow-white pustules.
Fever, malaise and swollen glands may be experienced.
The infected area around an abscess usually becomes swollen and tender.
If you are diabetic, you need to keep your weight in check so that you are less at risk of leg abscesses. It takes about two weeks for an abscess to open up and rid itself of its pus. When this happens, all pain and inflammation goes away.
Do not squeeze a boil or abscess or it may become worse, may cause scarring, and the bacteria may spread through the bloodstream.
Abscesses require attention and measures should be taken to avoid more of them.
Your goal should be to strengthen immunity through your diet and eliminating the emotional causes of abscesses and boils
Abcesses can be painful, itchy, and unsightly. While you can't always prevent an abscess, the following tips can help lower your risk of developing one.
Keep your skin healthy and cleanOne of the best ways you can prevent an abscess is to take care of your skin. A skin abscess occurs when an infection takes place in your hair follicle, skin injury, or a blocked oil or sweat gland.
You can keep your skin healthy by following these tips:
• Wash your hands regularly
• Properly clean skin injuries, even if they're minor
• Wash your face when you wake up and before bed
Another good practice is to avoid touching your face. This can transfer dirt, oil, and bacteria from your hands to your face.
Do not share personal itemsStaphylococcus bacteria can rest on the skin and not cause infection. Sharing personal items, greatly increases your risk of an abscess.
Your mind is the most powerful tool you have.
Every thought you get, causes changes throughout your body.
Neutral, calming or happy thoughts have the opposite effect.
It is always a set of emotions or an emotional state that manifests itself in the form of a disease.
The key emotions that generally co-exist so as to become the root cause of Osteoarthritis are as follows.
The skin is the outward reflection of our inner beauty. It represents how we present ourselves to the world, as a reflection of how we see ourselves.
It is highly sensitive and absorbent so it reflects even the smallest of change in our internal and external environment. When our skin is healthy and glowing, we feel good about ourselves and complete in our own reflection. When our skin is irritated or inflamed, it is an indication that there is a frustration stemming internally of how we see ourselves.
Any consistent imperfection of the skin is a sign that we are seeing ourselves in an inadequate manner in some way: an imperfect self-perception will naturally create an imperfect external image.
Boils speak that you have been "boiling over" with anger at your whole situation. It also represents a feeling of being betrayed or sabotaged. There has been denial to some extent as a child and now you deeply resent it.
This can come from:
• A genuinely depriving and undermining family
• An imperious expectation-generating family
• A current situation in which they are frustrated, deprived or harmed.
Abscesses represent a feeling of restriction and overwork, of over-responsibility and deprivation. You are experiencing conflict and irritability, frustration and rejection of your situation.
The suppression that has been cultivated with you since a long time has now begun to surface on a physical level. Children often develop this condition when they feel that influential people are suppressing them.
Repetitive and un-resolved quarrels/Confrontations in the environment seem to be affecting you and lead to feelings of being overwhelmed.
Conversations in the mind seem to keep you occupied, taking your focus away from how you feel in the heart. The idea of letting go of anger and circumstances that are unhealthy seem to become a challenge.
Personal relationships seem to be having a love-hate pattern whether it is with a partner, friend, co-worker or a family member.
You may find yourself being unable to express joy or make your own decisions. You desire more personal space and freedom.
Here are ways to master the mind/body connection to eliminate boils and abscesses and rejuvenate your skin.
1. Relax. Relaxation is an active state of deep rest where the mind is quiet and the body is physiologically calm.
Meditation, guided visualization, body scanning and slow, diaphragmatic breathing are some of the many techniques that achieve relaxation.
2. Stop taking stress. Stress is heavily implicated in any disease. Review your life and see if you can avoid the causes of stress or change your response to them. Stop worrying about the past or future and live in the present. As that is all you can influence.
3. Express your emotions. Emotions are energy. Suppressing them takes physical effort that can cause pain.
Repressed emotions cause poor health. Suppressing emotion also keeps you stuck, unable to move past what you are avoiding. By contrast, writing in a journal or talking to someone about how you feel, and even just sitting quietly and "mindfully" to fully experience and acknowledge the feeling, all lead to feeling better both emotionally and physically.
4. Try to be cheerful. When you laugh your body produces endorphins, the body's natural healers.
5. Process your trauma. There could be a connection between earlier experiences of psychological trauma or chronic pain or illness of the past.

90% of the diseases are a result of build-up of unresolved negative emotions and pre-programming of your mind as discussed above. Your soul tries to express these unresolved negative emotions first through your thoughts and feelings. If you fail to listen to the messages that are crying out to be heard, these messages become stronger and then harder for you to ignore. They then express and manifest themselves by means of pain, discomfort or ill-health.
Along with Emotional management, Spiritual programming of your mind is a must to unwind yourself from the clutches of the negative emotions you've held so long which has ultimately led to the dis-ease.
This we achieve by means of:
1- Facilitated Spiritual Detox
2- Meditation
3- Identifying the imbalance and healing at the level of the Chakra
4- Energy healing
