Symptoms and Treatments for Siderosis

July 7, 2009


Siderosis is an infection that affects the lungs and is caused when a person inhales dust which contains iron salts and iron dust particles. Those suffering from the disease complain of high or low levels of iron in the body. If your occupation is in any way related to iron production or iron ore refining then your chances of contracting the disease is high. However if you protect yourself from the ore then you reduce your risk to zero.

Some of the symptoms of siderosis include diabetes, liver cirrhosis and cardiac arrest. It is unfortunate that the symptoms only show themselves when they are serious and in some cases it is too late to detect the illness. You must educate yourself about the disease else you could be seriously ill. If you are diagnosed with the symptoms or the illness then you must try and understand the different aspects of it and get the required treatment. Your doctor will be the best person to help you with all the details and you may use the internet as well to do the rest of your research.

In order to prevent the disease you must take care to avoid occupational hazards. Use the required protection in order to keep yourself safe. You must also make sure that you do not consume excess iron in your diet. Beer is a rich source of iron and hence you must take care not to drink beer in high quantities. Daily consumption of beer is harmful to your body. Vitamin C can also prove to be therapeutic in the cure of the illness. You can get the vitamin in high doses from oranges, tomatoes and other colored fruits and vegetables.

Amongst the herbs; turmeric has proved to be effective in the cure of the ailment. Add turmeric to your cup of milk or add a small pinch of the herb to your food preparation. It is effective in the smallest proportions and shows positive effects within a few weeks. You can also use lavender oils in a diffuser in your room at night. The oil helps to increase blood circulation and improves your breathing at night. It cures any signs of nasal congestion.
