Vaginitis

Vaginitis is a common problem among women

Like an ecosystem, the sensitive organ of women which is the vagina is the habitat of different kinds of flora. The good and bad bacteria co exist with each other. The good bacteria  is living up to its role as the killer of its rival, the bad bacteria.

The latter cause infection, inflammation and the annoying discharges that most women complain. Usually vaginitis can categorized into four types: Atrophic vaginitis, Bacterial vaginosis, Trichomoniasis,Candida albicans. However, Candida is kind of yeast infection.

While most conventional doctors will prescribe antibiotics to ward off the infection, alternative doctors will go for alternative ways to prevent or cure the infection. It is also important to note which organism causes the infection before trying these alternative cures.

It is important to lie low on sugar to starve the bacteria. Also avoid refined carbohydrates and alcohol which will also turn into glucose in the body.

We all know that yogurt is good for the maintenance of the good bacteria in our system. Well, for women with BV or bacteria vaginitis, this is also a must. Eating 8 ounces of yogurt everyday for 2 weeks will help in the healing process.

The Lactobacillus acidophilus content of yogurt is the important factor in the healing and prevention of recurrence for vaginitis. There are also capsule suppositories with L. Acidophilus content that may be inserted into the vagina as alternative treatment.

Some medical practitioners will say that Psoriasis is incurable. Alternative doctors would say that there is a way to control or eliminate psoriasis. I say, while there is a flicker of hope, why not try the alternative method for psoriasis treatment?

When I read their study, it made sense to me. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin characterized by constant scaling, itching and bleeding. Alternative medicine would tell us that we have to go deeper than skin deep.

The real cause of psoriasis according to them is the leaking of the toxins from the intestinal walls which have become thinner. The toxins runs havoc through the body systems excreting toxins through the largest organ of the body which is the skin.

Thus the scaling, bleeding and itching. So, in order to address this problem, psoriatic patients must make a major clean up with their digestive system and improve their diets.

For internal cleansing, water is the perennial advice by most alternative doctors. This is to help clear out the toxins out of your body by drinking more than 8 glasses a day. To stimulate bowel movements, stewed fruits are recommended like figs, apples, and raisins.

To stimulate the internal organs by increasing circulation and blood oxygenation, exercise is recommended. A daily 30 to 40 minutes aerobics like walking, biking and swimming will be beneficial for this purpose.

To help moisturize the dry and scaly skin, castor oil is recommended. Or you may opt to mix one part olive oil and one part peanut oil for thinner lesions without further irritating them.

It is normal for the body to undergo a healing crisis when toxins are being excreted. This is the time when skin sheds off and there is intense itching. It is recommended that during this period, patients may take a warm bath with apple cider vinegar if the skin is not yet cracked from scratching.Add 1 cup rolled oats and cornstarch plus a pound of baking soda. This becomes an alkaline solution that’s good for soothing the nerve endings.

You see, there is always hope. For cases like this, it is important to share alternative cures to friends and associates who may be enduring the pain and the cost of medicines for ailments that are believed to be incurable by conventional medicine.

Hemorrhoids. It’s a secret nobody would not like to share. Even for those who have been suffering the pain down there. That’s why most of us would succumb to over the counter ointments for instant pain relief. What if you have hemorrhoids?

Well, they are effective but that’s what they provide instant pain relief and unfortunately, it’s temporary. Over the counter ointments or drugs for hemorrhoids treatment are truly effective but have a also the potential to create side effects that we don’t like. Examples of which are itching and burning sensation not only in the anal area but also on the sensitive genital parts.

Here’s what alternative doctors would say for the all natural relief for hemorrhoids.

To shrink swollen tissues around the anal area, butcher’s broom herb is recommended. To make an ointment, mix 10 to 15 drops of butchers broom tincture of the powder from the capsules into a small container of beeswax.

Vitamin E and aloe vera gel may also be added to help reduce the inflammation and speed healing. Butchers broom may also be prepared and taken as a tea. Boil a cup or two of water then add ½ teaspoon of the herb and steep for 10 minutes. Drink like tea.

For prevention of hemorrhoids, we try to strengthen the veins around the anal canal. You can achieve this by taking flavonoids either from supplements or from fresh fruits and vegetables.

Getting comfort from a hot bath? How about sitting on one? A hot sitz bath is a tub of warm water where you will seat for at least 10 minutes a day. The affected area will be  exposed to warm steam thereby increasing the circulation of the area and facilitate healing.

Finally, for easier and pain free episode to the bathroom, try to make your stools softer by taking psyllium seeds. These seeds increase the bulk but softens the stool. Drink more than 8 glasses a day and maintain hygiene down there to avoid infections.
