Homeopathy For Women Today

……………. continued from last post 

Things you can do to aid healing

• Drink cranberry juice to flush out toxins from the body
• Take unsweetened yoghurt or lactobacillus acidophilus to replace “good” bacteria that might have been destroyed after taking antibiotics
• Cut down or stop intake of refined sugar
• Eliminate all foods containing yeast
• Cut down or stop taking alcohol
• Drink plenty of water, at least 8 glasses a day
• Eat a healthy diet of whole grains, vegetables and fruits ((some authorities advise avoiding fruits during treatment. Please check with your healthcare provider about this)
• Clean the external area with a mixture of ½ water and ½ vinegar or lemon juice
• Avoid douches (except if medically required), vaginal deodorants & bubble baths.
• After drying the area, you can apply Homeopathic Calendula cream

Prevention tips

• Wear cotton panties,“breathable” pantyhose and loose-fitting slacks to allow the moisture in the genital area to escape
• Change your bathing suit/swimwear and exercise wear (including your panties) soon after swimming or exercising.  Wash these thoroughly after EACH use, preferably separately from other’s clothes.
• When cleaning the genital area after passing stools, wipe from front to back.
• Take unsweetened yoghurt (or lactobacillus acidophilus) to replace the “good” bacteria when you are taking broad spectrum antibiotics
• Practise safe sex (including the use of condoms)

A little self-care can go a long way towards preventing an infection.
