Yeast infection, candida - help me!

[Guest guest]

I have a very itchy yeast infection. Somewhere I read that it results

from an overloaded liver that isn't able to clean properly. What

chinese medicine can offer for this itchy problem? How can I cleanse

my liver affectively if that's what I have to do? Is there any chinese

medicine practitioner in my area (Northern NJ)?

There may very well be some things you can do yourself to treat this,

but the overall general consensus is that the body and it's

intracacies can be very complex, and the average person is limited in

what they are able to treat. It could very well be your liver, but

you would have to also know in what general context for most treatment

to be efective, especially root cause treatment vs symptomatic treatment.

 

There will be many many practitioners in your area, esp depending on

how close you are to NYC. Here are a few tools to help you find someone.

and on this one you can pick the city that is closest to you and do

the search that way.

Hi Sara,

 

Various Chinese patent formulas and topical preparations might help this but the

pulse and tongue and ten questions have to be taken in an intake session.

 

Without a TCM diagnosis coming form this session, treating the condition is

literally a shot in the dark.

 

Try check www.nccaom.org for North NJ.

 

The other thing to consider is a tea tree oil douche followed by a yogurt

douche.

 

Goes like this...

 

Buy a med to large rubber hot water bottle w/ a douche attachment at Duane Reade

or like vendor. Fill the bag with warm water and add 3-6 drops of teatree oil,

careful!!!, a little goes a long way, and as this is a strong antifungal it can

irritate tender skin!!!!! Shake it and apply. Do this for 2-3 days.

 

Then same process with 2 tablespoons of good whole, active yogurt for a couple

of days to restore normal fuana and flora.

 

Lastly make sure your MD has ruled out any serious infection which the yeast

infection might be secondary to.

 

All these suggestions are made by a layperson not a qualified MD but many have

found it helpful.

A highly effective home treatment of yeast infections is using live-

culture plain yogurt as a suppository. Insert it nightly for 5-7

nights, wearing a pad to avoid making a mess of the bed as it drains

out. It would also speed up healing time to insert yogurt several times

per day, if you can remain prone for periods of time throughout the day.

 

It also helps soothe the itching.

Yes, acupuncture and Chinese medicine can help with a yeast

infection. I know this because I recently got out of the hospital and

was sent home with an iv to get doses of antibiotics. The dang

antibiotics( as expected) caused a severe reaction with a yeast(

fungal) infection. The suggestions already made to you about the yogurt

suppository was goods but....Go to your local health food store and buy

some probiotic capsules which can be found in a refrigerated case

there.Start taking the capsules,2 capsules three times per day with

each meal.This will help tremendously with getting your intestines back

in the health range as well as populate them with friendly bacteria.A

good Chinese medicine doc can treat your immune system with acupuncture

as well as give you herbs to " kill " the fungus or overgrowth of bad

bacteria.It will take a little time but it does work.Use the yogurt

internally mixed with the contents of one broken probiotic capsule

and get it in there. My acupuncture doc said using these two in

combination will really help. Hope this helps.

I haven't been able to respond to any posts in a while so I'm coming in late

here. Many suggestions have been given but I'm offering one from a somewhat

different viewpoint. (Unless I missed a post that mentioned what I'm going to

write. If so, I apologise.)

 

The typical daily North American or European diet is very different from the

Asian diet. Far more sugar & sweet foods are consumed here than in Asia.

Sweets are used less & more as occasional treats. I know foods & eating

habits are changing around the world & many Asian people (especially young

ones) now consume almost as much sugar as in western cultures. But

traditionally, sweets & sugars were used in small amounts & not daily.

 

Every TCM practitioner I've talked to has stressed how important it is not to

eat much sweet foods. I guess they expect that I eat the typical western diet

which I don't. I do crave sweets more in winter but now I'm careful even

then, to only occasionally eat sweets. Even a lot of 'healthy' foods like

fruits, if too much is eaten, provides more sugar than is good for us.

 

High sugar consumption tends to keep blood sugar levels higher than normal &

can feed fungal infections. My ex-husband ate LOTS of sweet foods & candies.

I'm not saying this caused him to develop diabetes in his late 30s but

something led up to it & he wasn't overweight at all. He continued to eat

lots of sweet things while trying to take medication to control his blood

sugar levels. Of course, it wasn't too successful & he ended up in the

hospital & now has to take insulin by injection. He was plagued with fungal

skin infections that could never be treated successfully.

 

So check over your diet. If you eat ready-made or refined foods (crackers,

cookies, candies, salad dressings, sauces & spaghetti mixes, pop, 'fruit'

drinks, pizzas), they all contain lots of sugar, even those that you might

not think sweet. Pop is one of the worse - one can contains about 10

teaspoons of sugar! Cut back on sugar consumption - way back if you eat lots

of sweets. This in itself won't 'cure' a fungal or yeast infection but it

will enable treatment to prevent its return. Otherwise, no matter what you

do, fungal/yeast infections will reappear just like weeds in fertile loosened

soil. Normally, various yeast, fungi, & bacteria live harmoniously on & in

our bodies & are there for a purpose. It's only when we disrupt their balance

that they cause problems & disease conditions.
