Homeopathic Yeast Infection
Homeopathic Yeast Infection Treatments You Can Do From Home
More women are moving towards natural medicine. It's less expensive, and usually has less or no side effects on the body outside treating a particular condition. Homeopathic yeast infection treatments are no different. While there are several treatment creams which can be bought from your local drugstore, they're not the only way to get rid of yeast infection symptoms. In this article we're going to explore three alternative remedies you can probably find right in your own kitchen.
A word of caution about Homeopathic yeast infection treatments, often times these methods take 1-2 weeks for relief. So if you're looking for immediate relief another option might be better.
Garlic
Garlic is great for our bodies, heart, and cholesterol, and did you know it has antifungl properties to? Adding two or three cloves to your salads and meals each day will help to re balance your vagina, and reduce the growth of new yeast. Garlic can also be used to directly treat the infection by wrapping in cheese cloth and inserting into the vagina over night. If you go this route, be sure to continue the treatment for several days after the symptoms appear to be gone. This will ensure you don't have an immediate recurrence.
Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION:
Homeopathic yeast infection pills have yeast in them? How does that work?
I actually am pretty sure I have bacterial vaginosis, but I got Nature's Cure homeopathic yeast control pills because they have yeast in them, which I figured would help. but it got me wondering... how in the heck is it supposed to work for a yeast infection??? I've seen other brands of remedies labeled "homeopathic" with candida yeast as a main ingredient, as well, so it's not just Nature's Cure being weird.ANSWER:
Homeopathy is based on the idea of curing illnesses etc. by taking what you are actually trying to cure ( a bit like the way vaccines work ). What you need to take is a probiotic with acidophilus and similar organisms. They are brilliant at preventing yeast infections if you are on antibiotics.
I don't know how effective homeopatic remedies are for yeast infections. I know they can be quite effective for some problems but it always sounds weird to me the way they are supposed to work.
QUESTION:
What are some homeopathic yeast infection treatments safe for kids?
My 4 yr old may have one... I'm already doing the probiotics (lactinex and organic yogurt) but I'm interested in doing more... especially anything topical to help w/ her discomfort.
mossbreaker... this is for my 4 yr old, so it must be external/topical!! but I'll keep it mind if I ever get one
ANSWER:
Grapefruit seed extract is safe and effective (10-20 drops per oz of DISTILLED water is what is recommended for yeast diaper rash, not sure if you could go stronger for a 4 year old). Vinegar is less effective but equally safe (1part to 5-10pars water).Garlic (raw clove cut in half with a string if desired for easy removal) is commonly used by adult women like a suppository -however not sure if that would be reasonable for a toddler. For me putting it in would be a big issue (maybe I am just squeamish?). Garlic oil may be effective externally? Not sure.
I would stay far, far away from tea tree oil.
QUESTION:
Has anyone ever used a homeopathic yeast infection medicine containing pulsatilla?
It is making me very tired and weak.ANSWER:
Never heard of this. For Yeast infections try:http://www.mynsp.com/leslie_cider/products/guide.aspx?StockNum=4080
http://www.mynsp.com/leslie_cider/products/guide.aspx?stockNum=1808
http://www.mynsp.com/leslie_cider/products/guide.aspx?stockNum=508
http://www.mynsp.com/leslie_cider/products/guide.aspx?stockNum=292 (this one is a no odor product.)Even if your problem is vaginal not intestinal, these products will still work. If you treat yourself for vaginal yeast, you definitely need to replace the benificial flora and bacteria that most treatments will kill off.
QUESTION:
What are homeopathic remedies for systemic yeast infection?
I saw a program with a checklist for systemic yeast infection. I answered "yes" to nearly every question! I already know about yogurt and probiotics. What other things I should be incorporating?
This is NOT for specific treatment of a vaginal yeast infection, rather an overgrowth of fungus throughout the body. Instead of "homeopathic" maybe I should have specified "natural" remedies instead -- such as certain foods, vitamins, or supplements to use.
Thanks for all the suggestions so far!ANSWER:
This stuff. 98% kill of Candida Albicans. Triple blind placebo study completed in 1998 and found on Pubmed.org
http://www.microbiologybytes.com/video/Candida.html
Proof that Candida takes two forms and can become systemic.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7727934020345992708&q=candida+albicans+video&total=22&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=3 What feeds candida and what starves candida.
What I did. http://www.glycoscience.org is real. Dr. Hudson Freeze used "Mannose" to help improve his genetic patients which is found in aloe and this company has as well. He was angered by the fact that one of his patients dropped out to take this complex from glycoscience web site and as a result, he has been on a campaign to put down the company that sells it because he wants to market glyconutrients. However, he has no patent and Oxford University has taken down his slamming article against the company that sells it, because he is proven wrong.
In the interum, there is a triple blind pacebo study conducted by Doris Lefkowitz PhD who approves of medical dictionaries and this study shows that glyconutrient complex has a 98% kill of Candida Albicans... The mannose alone, has a 45% kill.
Kalos, from your other answer tried to report me to Yahoo as a solicitation and once they saw my answer was helpful they restored my points and my answer.
If you ever see Kalos Orisates answers again, feel free to report him if he calls osteopaths and chiropractors who have earned their degrees and have healed countless people in a non toxic manner quacks.
This yahoo forum is to be of people of quality and its time for people to take charge and report those who slam natural healing to the extent that it is actually harming people, because side affects of OTC drugs is blindness and liver damage.
It is the body, with the proper nutritional tools that are missing in the modern diet that can cure itself. Once your cells recognize the fungus, it eliminates it on its own safely with no side affects from drugs.
