BackgroundFrostbite is caused by extreme cold, and is most likely to happen in body parts farthest from the heart and those with large exposed areas. Three Stages of FrostbiteFirst degree frostbite is called “Frostnip.” This is a superficial cooling of tissues without cellular destruction that causes skin to appear yellow or white.

BackgroundFatigue is very common, and most people would like more energy. Although it is important to have your doctor make sure you do not have anemia, low thyroid, diabetes or other common causes of fatigue, in most cases it improves by simply cleaning up your lifestyle a bit.

When the flow out of the eye is slowed, pressure inside the eye rises. Holistic physicians suspect the backup of fluid in the eye may be caused by lack of integrity of the collagen in the eye tissues.
