The key if you suffer with recurring yeast infections is to figure out what’s the cause, then incorporate some preventative methods.  If not you will only clear up the yeast infection flare-up instead of actually keeping the overgrowth of yeast at bay.  There are ways in preventing yeast infections that can permanently remedy this aggravating problem.  In addition, you can alleviate the harsh pharmaceuticals from your routine yeast infection outbreaks and cure yeast infections permanently.

What is a yeast infection?

Yeast infections are caused by Candida albicans, which are bacteria present in the vaginal area. This bacteria is kept at bay by the healthy bacteria.  However, if the good bacteria are compromised, the candida can multiply hastily and cause a yeast infection.

There are unlimited reasons why you may suffer with one, including:

A weakened immune system.

A change in the vaginal environment.

Injury.

Intercourse.

Increased pH.

Increased heat and moisture.

Allergic reactions.

Hormonal changes.

Unhealthy bacteria over-populating.

PREVENTING YEAST INFECTIONS

Wear cotton underwear

Avoid wearing tight-fitting pants and shorts

Change wet clothes immediately

Douching is a NO, NO!

Don’t use scented powders, scented tampons, and feminine deodorant sprays

Wipe from front to back after using the bathroom to avoid spreading bacteria from the anus to the vagina.

Beware when you’re taking antibiotics, they also destroy the healthy bacteria while killing off bad germs from an infection.

ALSO

Boost your immunity.

Try to keep stress levels low, at least try.

Include natural healthy cultures of bacteria in your diet.

REMEMBER

The only way to cure yeast infections is to take control of your body.  You get different results when you try something different.

Complete relief from yeast infections is possible!

• Body image -When a woman doesn’t feel attractive, it can be difficult for her to maintain interest in sex.
• Fear of intimacy – Unlike men, women have a tendency to equate sexual intimacy with emotional intimacy, which can be one reason why they lose interest in sex. If a woman fears getting close to a man emotionally, she isn’t going to want to be intimate with him sexually.
• Lack of Sleep - Fatigue can wear down all of the senses, which might be why women lose interest in sex. If all you can think about is catching a few z’s, sex is low on the priority list.
• Increase in Stress - When women experience high levels of stress at work or at home, sex becomes a non-issue. This is because the mind is preoccupied with other matters and doesn’t have the ability to become interested in sex.
• Relationship Disagreements – Men can have a fight and then jump into bed five minutes later with no thought to the subject of that disagreement. Women are different; when they are experiencing discord in relationships, many women lose interest in sex.

If you are bothered by a low sex drive or decreased sex drive, there are lifestyle changes and sex techniques that may put you in the mood more often. Some medications may offer promise as well.  See your primary physician for concerns and questions.

Our digestive system has intestinal motility also known as Peristalsis.  It is an automatic and important process that moves food through the digestive system where a series of organized muscle contractions that occur throughout the digestive tract.  It also moves urine from the kidneys into the bladder, and bile from the gallbladder into the middle part of the small intestine where absorption of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients begins.

Peristalsis is a normal function of the body. It can sometimes be felt in the abdomen as gas moves along.  Sometimes peristalsis is slowed down by

• Constipation
• Irritable bowel syndrome

• Chemotherapy
• Anti nausea medications
• Irritable bowel syndrome
• Codeine
• Bacterial overgrowth syndrome

There are some things that you can do to stimulate peristalsis, which can help your body function more properly.

• Drink plenty of water, 8 glasses or more to keeps stools soft and easy to pass
• Exercise, even a brisk walks helps speeds up your metabolism and stimulates the digestive process.
• Add fiber to your diet like broccoli or cabbage to help produce gas to help flush out fats and waste.
• A probiotic like Yefense contain live bacterial cultures that promote healthy intestinal flora that facilitate digestion.

A properly functioning digestive system will help control weight, the elimination process, fat absorption, and overall health including boosting immunity.

• Stress
• Lack of sleep
• Illness
• Poor eating habits, including eating extreme amounts of sugary foods
• Pregnancy
• Having your period
• Taking certain medicines, including birth control pills, antibiotics, and steroids
• Diseases such as poorly controlled diabetes and HIV/AIDS
• Hormonal changes during your periods

One of the best ways to control the overgrowth of yeast and bacteria is by taking a probiotic, which contains the “healthy” bacteria that hinders the yeast from overpowering your body and an excellent way to keep your intestines in good health.

My favorite remedy for a lot of ailments is tea tree oil.  It’s a pure essential oil with anti-viral and bacteria fighting properties, that really work.  I live by the use of this product.  Tea tree oil does exactly what I said; it kills the bacteria that are hiding the clear beauty behind those bumps.

The best way to use it is dilute it with an aloe vera gel, which also has anti-bacterial properties and it soothes and calms the skin as well.  The tea tree oil is too potent to use alone for most areas.  Use a nickel-sized amount of aloe vera and one drop of tea tree oil.  Rub together and smooth it all over your face and neck.  These two miracle products working together are sure to help bring out your beautiful skin.  Trust me!

JUST DO IT

Don’t wait for your body to breakdown before you decide to take the initiative to care yourself.  There’s only one of you and you have only one shot to get this right.  Start now, as I mentioned before, I don’t care what you do as long as you do it.  You have a life and a family, and your job is to ensure long fulfilled lives.  But only way you can do that is by committing to a “health-style” change for you and them.  It shouldn’t take a scare for you to want to take better care of the temple you’ve been blessed with.  It should just take looking in the mirror daily and wanting to get up the next day to see that beautiful face again.

Take small steps, begin with just one or two naturally healthy remedies, keep us updated, appreciate your hard work & results, then choose another natural remedy for the next six months and lets keep it going.  Making this part of your daily “health-style” is not only healthy, but it’s fun and cheap!  The best part is that everyone can be involved, share and get ideas from others and include your family.

One last thing, I’m a woman that enjoys the pleasures of life like food and kool-aid, but the key is moderation.  Don’t stop doing and eating things you love, just don’t over do it and try to cut back on one or two things at a time.  I’m a firm believer in if a girl works hard, she deserves a treat…:).

Our great women of the past survived off nature and worked with what they had.  There were no magical pills or miracle creams.  They knew all the natural remedies to live long, healthy lives.  Now many women of today for the most part, attempt to live a healthy lifestyle.  For many of us though, we’re still feeling bad and run down.  We’re waking up groggy, feeling sluggish throughout the day, suffering with frequent illnesses like colds and pains from headaches and debilitating premenstrual cramps, not eliminating properly, and aging at a far rapid pace than our grandmothers.  Yet, we try to feel better by invading our bodies with more foreign substances like prescriptions, weight loss and energy pills that are making matters worse.

Over the Odor
Dr. Lisa Masterson’s blog from “The Doctors”

Do you ever have that not-so-fresh feeling down
below?
“Douching, I’ve always said, bad, bad, bad, bad,
bad,” Dr. Lisa says, “because the vagina is a self-
cleaning oven and has a normal vaginal acidic
pH that keeps the bacteria away and yeast away.
All of us women are worried about odors down
there, and that’s very, very real. We want to smell
fresh. Every woman thinks it’s supposed to have
this perfumey odor, when, in fact, it really
shouldn’t smell like anything.”
Foul odor in the vaginal area is often due to an
infection, Dr. Berman explains. Keeping the area
clean by washing with soap and water daily is
essential, but hygiene is not always enough.
