Since the occurrence of angular cheilitis is not necessarily independent from the presence of other dysfunctions, it does not make a lot of sense to look at the cracked lips alone and try to improve their condition with ointments and creams with antibiotic and antifungal properties. Angular cheilitis can occur as a result of a deeper problem and serves as an “alarm light”. A holistic treatment will take most, if not all, these factors into consideration, instead of trying to scratch at the surface and treat merely the symptoms. Turning off the “alarm light” does not do the trick, it is even potentially dangerous, since the possible severe underlying disorder remains unaddressed and can thus develop into a malignant type of disease, which will be very hard or even impossible to treat if the point-of-no-return is surpassed.
Angular cheilitis cure always or starts with preventive measures. Even if the disease is already fully blown, preventive measures have to be set up to avoid relapses once the disease is contained. Relapses are normally much harder to control than the original disease. Most of the time, prevention is already the key to the problem, even to the acute existing problem of actual disease. Measures which treat cheilitis symptoms can also be taken into consideration, in order to improve the patient’s well-being, since these cracked lips can have unpleasant effects while eating and talking. Antifungal and/or antibiotic creams and ointments can help to stop the exacerbation of pathogenic development and bring relief.
But these measures are only the start of a holistic cure. Good nutrition is often a key factor in prevention of many other diseases, not alone angular cheilitis. It is vital to support one’s immune system, since the development of angular cheilitis also points to the fact, that the patient might have a somewhat sluggish immune status, which is not able to fend off pathogenic attacks effectively. Food rich in vitamin B-complex and also in iron help the body to stay on top of the situation, before the disease has a chance to take over. Vegetables and fruits are a very important factor for the well-being of our gastrointestinal tract, since they provide all nutrients which are necessary to nourish the intestines. For example, it is discussed that the occurrence of colon cancer is related to a lack of vegetarian food intake, but therefore more meat products. Food rich in fiber is an essential ingredient for the large intestines, since vitamin resorption in this area is sponsored by certain microorganism, which feed on those fibers. A lack of fibers means underdeveloped colonies of those microorganism, means absorption deficiency, means malnutrition.
According to my experience, the best natural way to harmonize the patient’s immune system can be done by taking medicinal mushrooms, especially Ganoderma lucidum. These mushrooms do not boost an immune system per se. They balance it instead and create hemostatic conditions. A sluggish immune system will be strengthened, but an immune system on overdrive (allergies) will be brought back to normal strength. On top of that, they exert also very potent antiinflammatory actions, which will give additional benefit to the angular cheilitis patient, who suffers regularly not only from fungal and bacterial infection, but also from accompanying inflammation of the affected areas.
