Guest guest Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi Jahmanna; This is not my expertise, so I defer to others on it. Some thought though, as many mothers both do not get enough outdoor time and fresh prana in their lives (dietarily a big piece) AND there is more delicate agni or digestive fires, the ability to keep the reproductive organs well circulated/cleansed, already challenged by constrictions on blood vessels by the baby's position, is double or triply compromised. Yeast infections also often are linked to low thyroid, which also is linked to weakened agni. That's my contribution...looking forward to learning more on how it is best managed in pregnancy; quite different from the western approach as well as from how we might be able to handle it with vaginal suppository of diluted tea tree oil or some such along with diet and herbs, at another time. Warmly, Ysha > I have a question about the reason for and the curing of yeast > infections that occur more frequently during pregnancy what is the > auyervedic prespective on this?

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Dear Kim; Please don't hesitate to bring up questions, even if none of us can answer them it is worth the possibility, right? Besides, we certainly have tremendous resources on our little forum here. This question makes me wonder about access/where is this family, do they still live in the house, are they wanting to clear the mould or move? There is some very interesting discussions about a blend of essential oils and research reports on their very cost and health effective results killing the two most dangerous types of toxic mold. Very good results diffusing over several days. Same blend used in a concentrated cleaner on side of a house that normally was cleaned with chlorine every year for mold accumulation. The area cleaned with this blend the next year had no mold, the rest of the house as usual, where had been cleaned with (very toxic to environment and humans) chlorine, had mold growth needing cleaning again. The blend includes oils such as cinnamon, clove, rosemary, lemon, used also effectively in plague times. Baby will benefit greatly from diffusing this or other anti mold oils. Email me privately if you want more info, it is available in Hawaii. Ysha(@)sacredwindow.com > > Regarding yeast infections, I only yesterday saw a > baby who has been exposed to a very moldy house.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hello, Purification of house can be done with the help of dhupana (medicinal smoke). This helps getting rid of unwanted life forms such as bacteria, fungus, etc The herbs used for this are karpura(camphor), guggulu, aguru, vacha. This is similar to the way operation theaters are sterilized using fumigation. Neem and triphala decoction can be used for spraying. I usually treat the herb containers with vacha dhupan before storing my herbs in them. This is very effective in preventing the herbs becoming contaminated.
