Hi La Sondar
Quick Action Plan for Vaginal Infections
1. Avoid all sugars, refined flour products, and carbohydrates, milk and dairy products, processed foods that contain preservatives and artificial sweeteners, alcohol, hydrogenated and trans-fatty oils, as well as foods that are common allergens.
2. Emphasize a diet of fresh organic foods and drink plenty of pure, filtered water throughout the day. At least a gallon.
3. To boost your body's resistance to vaginal infections, supplement with vitamin A, beta carotene, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc, as well as acidophilus and the amino acid lysine.
4. Useful homeopathic remedies for vaginal infections include Belladonna, Cactus, and Sepia.
5. Combine two parts Echinacea and goldenseal and one part phytolacca as a tincture. Take 20 to 60 drops directly into your mouth every two to four hours.
6. Herbal douches and suppositories are highly recommended. Herbs for this purpose include calendula, comfrey leaf, Echinacea, garlic, goldenseal, plantain, and St. John's wort. You can also add two tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar to one quart of pure, filtered water.
7. Also effective is a suppository consisting of powdered boric acid mixed with berberis, calendula, and goldenseal, inserted into the vagina.
Causes
The most common causes of vaginal infections are overuse of antibiotics, bacterial infections, candidiasis (yeast overgrowth), parasitic microbes such as Trichomonas vaginalis, hormonal imbalances, such as those that can occur during and after menopause, and unsafe sex.
Other causes include poor sanitary habits, local irritants, such as chemical or perfumed vaginal products, and wearing undergarments that are too tight or contain synthetic irritants, such as pantyhose.
Prevention Guidelines
To prevent vaginal infections, and to aid in their elimination, women should take the following precautions:
1.Shower or bathe at least once a day to keep the vaginal area clean.
2. After showering or bathing, keep the vaginal area dry throughout the day.
3. Avoid wearing pantyhose, especially nylons brands; wear white, undyed cotton underwear instead.
4. Avoid the use of perfumed douches or douches that contain chemical irritants, as well as all other perfumed or chemical products in and around the vaginal area.
5. Have your sex partner use condoms to reduce the risk of bacterial infection.
6.Wipe away from the vagina (front to back) after each bowel movement.
Best of health to you
