Must Read Vitamins and Minerals To Be Banned

From time to time, an issue comes along that is so important that we have to devote a newsletter to it, in preference to promoting our products for our short term interest. This is one of those times.

The banning, within months of something as innocuous as vitamins and minerals. Seems incredible doesn't it? Would and could the EU really ban most vitamins and minerals from being available in meaningful dosages? Is something as surreal as this really happening? Unfortunately the answer is yes, and it is very likely under the soon to be finalised EU regulations, and things are not looking good at all.

All this despite the fact that there was not even one death caused by a dietary supplement in 2008, according to the most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System. The new 174-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published in the journal Clinical Toxicology, shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin.

(It is conservatively estimated that around 200,000 Americans and 40,000 Brits die every year from the use of correctly prescribed conventional medications).

Yet the EU do not seem to be interested in these facts. Read full newsletter here:

13 Natural Remedies For Radiation Exposure

The recent tragic earthquake and nuclear power plant meltdown brought up many concerns involving radiation levels in Japan, and the entire globe. Here at Global Healing Center, we are committed to educating and helping individuals reduce radiation exposure caused by nuclear fallout, as well as everyday exposure to harmful electromagnetic frequencies.

There are multiple harmful effects of radiation, and sadly many of them go unnoticed in the body for some time.

Low level exposure, overtime, can lead to major digestive imbalance, blood alteration and even the destruction of many cellular structures in the body’s key organ and tissue systems. Common signs of low level radiation exposure include symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, nausea, scalp tenderness, scalp discoloration and dry/itchy skin. In extreme cases, lower doses of radiation may also cause brain damage, memory problems, mood changes and reduced listening capacities, psychomotor abilities and information processing times. All good reasons to consider protecting oueselves from this type of exposure.

Large amounts of radiation exposure can have devastating consequences such as bloody vomit, hair loss, nerve damage, blood vessel destruction, seizures and, with prolonged strong exposure, can even lead to death.

Our circulatory system is also vulnerable to radiation. Even very low levels reduces lymphocytes in the blood. When lymphocytes are lowered, we are more likely to get infections, and what is known as mild radiation sickness. Symptoms are flu-like and may increase the likelihood of developing leukaemia and lymphoma in the future. The reproductive system is also vulnerable to exposure. Long-term radiation exposure can even lead to sterility, birth defects and still-births.

Radiation has a direct effect on the thyroid gland, prohibiting its ability to create iodine, an imperative player in healthy DNA integrity, immune function, metabolic and endocrine balance, as well as cardiovascular health. Supplementing with nascent atomic iodine helps counteract the effects of radioactive Iodine. It is one of the single most bio-available forms of iodine, and may be effective in aiding individuals exposed to radiation by lowering accumulated and stored radioactive toxins in the thyroid. Detoxadine® is Global Healing Center’s brand of standardized nano-colloidal nascent atomic iodine manufactured with a unique transformative bio-elemental matrix using a revolutionary process. This means that it will be gentler on your digestive system than other iodine supplements.

In addition to radioactive iodine, the body may also be exposed to a radioactive isotope of caesium known as Cesium-137. This is formed as bi-product of nuclear fission. Potassium orotates can prevent the accumulation of Cesium-137. In fact, getting enough potassium from food such as bananas is a good first step at preventing radioactive cesium 137 retention. That said, potassium in the diet may not be enough. According to the CDC, potassium can play a major role in protecting the body and thyroid gland after an internal contamination, as in the example of the Japanese nuclear reactor explosion. Potassium Orotate is the best form of potassium to use for radiation exposure.

Radiation Remedies

Each of these essential minerals can decontaminate a form of nuclear waste known as Strontium 90. Dr. Linus Pauling recommends calcium supplementation, as it can lower Strontium absorption by up to 90 percent. I recommend using calcium and magnesium orotate found in the product IntraCal.

Dimethylsulfoxide is an antioxidant sulphur compound. Studies show that DMSO actively detoxifies and protects the body from the effects of harmful radiation. One study from Japan found that even small amounts of DMSO offered radio-protective benefits on human DNA and overall cellular structures. It also neutralizes exposure from radio-isotopes. Studies show that the X-irradiation that can damage the body’s Kupffer and serous cells can be prevented with the use of DMSO.. Animal studies also show that rats exposed to x-ray radiation could be protected from the negative effects of the exposure via the intake of DMSO. This chemical could at least partially protect the rats by halting the typical toxicant reactions associated with radiation. Another study from the School of Medicine at the Yokohama City University in Japan found that DMSO offered protective effects for cell destruction, as well as DNA aberrations, in mice exposed to radioactive substances.

Nuclear waste is typically “cleaned” or “stored” in the environment by mixing it with Zeolite clay and packing it underground. Zeolites can attach themselves to and remove nuclear waste from the cellular level. In fact, one European study found that Zeolite clay was an effective decontaminate for animals affected by the nuclear waste disaster in Chemobyl. Zeolite clay can also be taken internally for detoxing radiation. Perhaps the best evidence proving that Zeolite helps detoxification of radiation was its widespread usage in the nuclear meltdowns at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and the British Nuclear Fuels (BNF), where it was used to absorb radioactive strontium and cesium – 137 from walls and floors. Similarly, the United States’ nuclear weapons facilities use Zeolite clay to line walls and floors to prevent toxicity.

There are many types of clays that bond to nuclear waste from the body. Others include Kaolin, Red Clay, Bentonite, Fuller’s Earth, Montmorillonite. French Green Clay is another absorptive clay shown to possess the ability to rid radiation, toxic metals and chemical residues from the human body. This should come as no surprise, as clay has often been used by engineers, and by the environment itself, to remove toxins from the body or ground. Again, it was also used at Chernobyl in 1986. In fact, the former Soviet government added this type of clay to chocolate bars that were then given to citizens to help them remove radioactive waste from the system.

Another wonderful substance heralded for its absorption properties. Studies show that charcoal possesses the unique ability to neutralize radiation, and that 10 grams of charcoal can neutralize up to 7 grams of toxic material.

Papain is a cysteine hydrolase extracted from papaya fruit known for its ability to reduce toxicants. In one laboratory study on rats, it was found that half of rats supplementing with papain could survive a lethal amount of radiation, whereas control rats did not survive.

Initial evidence suggests that bee pollen may significantly lower the negative side effects of radiation exposure, in particular that of radium, x-rays and cobalt-60 radiotherapy. Because exposure to radiation lowers many of your body’s natural vital substances like white and red blood cells and antibodies, bee pollen is a natural way of boosting these vital functions.

Beets - Natural Remedy for Radiation

Upon radiation exposure, the body’s blood haemoglobin can be broken down. Studies show that beets can help aid the body in rebuilding this damaged haemoglobin. In fact, animal lab studies have shown that rats eating a diet heavy in beet pulp were able to more effectively reduce the effects of radioactive cesium-137 than rats who did not eat beets. In fact, the beet-eating rats absorbed and detoxified up to 100 percent more effectively than the control group animals.

Oils such as sesame oil, extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil also help pull radiation out. Sources recommend drinking 4 ounces of oil if you have been exposed. Not only do the lipids in the oils bind the toxins, they also offer a protective layer on cellular membranes. Studies done on mice exposed to lethal doses of x-rays have found that the mice can survive if they are given oil. Another study on mice found that olive oil could protect the mice against high doses of x-rays ranging from 300 to 2,400 roentgens.

Sources recommend using organic Brewers use for prevention against radiation exposure. In terms dosage, 5 mg. to 15 mg. should be given to children, and 25 mg. to 50 mg. can be given to adults. For cases of direct exposure, these amounts can be doubled, or tripled. Brewer’s yeast may aid the body in both repair after exposure, as well as protection.

An oxygen-rich, free-radical scavenging organic compound. When we are exposed to radiation, the rays from this exposure release harmful electrons the kill blood cells (haemoglobin). Organic geranium has been shown to snatch up these radioactive rays, allowing them to move freely inside the nuclear structure of the Germanium, instead of entering the human cells and bloodstream. This is related to geranium’s ability to protect the amino acid cysteine, in the human body. Other studies showed promising results involving the use of germanium-132 and a strong reduction in cell death in those cells exposed to cesium-137 and gamma rays. Currently, the Japanese are recommending 100 mg. per day.

Healthy Skin Natural Organic Skin Care

Have you ever thought why you should turn to organic skin care products?  With so many reasons to do so, not to mention while using conventional products you are absorbing the chemicals contained within these products through your skin.  To keep clear of the many common issues these chemicals have you should definitely look at the benefits of natural organic products.

Remember natural organic skin range products should only contain natural ingredients naturally.  While being aware of the effectiveness this has compared to say petroleum based waxes and so on that is put inside these conventional products.  You just have to think that organic products are meant to work in balance with you, just like the natural balance you have on earth.  So treat your skin right help enhance your natural healing abilities.

It is really down to us to be concerned with what we let enter our body through our skin or by what we consume as our diet.  You would also guess right there is more and more, lack of support for the crap that is thrown into the conventional products nowadays.  The purer the better natural organic healing products combine the ingredients which come from various sources of untreated natural land.  Meaning of farm land without herbicides and pesticides being involved, you also have sea products and botanicals.  Where it may be necessary for the use of semi synthetic ingredients in shampoos, soaps, and body washes, they are classed as still being healthy as part of the production of such products.

Keep in mind the structure of these ingredients stem from resources which are natural.  Most experts who are in the know, as their recommendation will inform and advise you to be in the know also with regards to skin care product ingredients. Be cautious of the unnatural chemical skin care ingredients when choosing.   If you would prefer check over where the ingredients have been collected produce or farmed.  Organic skin care products will contain some form of preservatives for the product to remain fresh for its purpose.  Again various essential oils, organic herbs comes into play to preserve products by way of natural anti bacterial anti fungal properties, preserving organic skin care products in airtight packaging prevents the build up of bacteria also.

Some products will have the need for additional preservatives, but there are various plant based oils which do have natural preserving properties this include various balms as well.  As we do absorb practically everything we put onto our skin good or bad, organic skin care products by far are the safest and definitely most effective products around.  Note that If you are of the sensitive skin type then natural organic skincare products is a must have in your life.  For a look at how you may benefit from these products click on UK product range.

Natuurlijke Organische Healing: Organische Landbouw

Heir is veel gesproken in de afgelopen jaren over het
mondiale milieu en welke zaken hebben ontwikkeld sinds het grootste deel van de
landbouw is conventionele landbouw in plaats van de meer traditionele
biologische landbouw. conventionele landbouw toestaat voor het gebruik van
synthetische chemische meststoffen, pesticiden en herbiciden sommige van die
heeft gevonden voor het milieu aantasten, zelfs wanneer juist wordt gebruikt.
landen in de wereld zijn meer of mindere mate, de exploratie biologische
landbouw technieken als milieuvriendelijke manieren zijn om te groeien
opleveren voor de wereldbevolking en daarbij het milieu zo gezond mogelijk te
houden. Biologische landbouw, zoals we weten dat ze vandaag, begon in
Midden-Europa en in India.


Vandaag lopen er vele landen gewijd aan een grotere
produceren door biologische technieken zonder verlaging van de
wereldvoedselproductie levering. In de US, biologisch voedsel kan worden
officieel gecertificeerd “ biologisch ” door te berekenen strikte richtlijnen
garanderen van het voedsel is echt biologische. De verklarende organisatie
staat bekend als de “ nationale organische Program ". Er zijn andere
biologische voeding bewegingen in de US, maar dat ook proberen te omzeilen de
formaliteit van certificering door voor te stellen andere, minder dure normen,
net als de “ authentiek voedsel norm ”.


Deze norm laat voor de passage van diverse criteria,
waaronder dat alle levensmiddelen worden verkocht door de organische producent,
dat verse produkten, melk, eieren en vlees worden verkocht binnen 50 mijl van
hun productie en die kaas, wijn, brood en andere gegiste produkten worden
geproduceerd met het traditionele methoden. Een andere Amerikaanse gebaseerd
biologisch voedsel benadering is gebaseerd op het produceren en verkopen
biologisch voedsel producten lokaal. Consumenten partner met plaatselijke
boeren en pre kopen voor een bepaald percentage van het jaar in de oogst.


Voorstanders vinden dat lokaal geproduceerde en
verkochte organisch voedsel smaak beter dan die voedingsmiddelen over lange
afstanden vervoerd in gekoelde trucks. In de gehele wereld, voedsel dat is
geteeld met behulp strikt biologische technieken goed voor ongeveer 1 2 procent
van het bruto voedsel verkopen. Biologisch voedsel verkopen zijn echter worden
steeds dramatisch wereldwijd. In feite is de wereld biologisch voedsel markt is
groeiende consequent sinds 1990 bij een percentage van 20 procent per jaar. In
de Europese Unie, de EU eco verordening organisatie regelt alle van de
biologische voeding in Europa. in Oostenrijk, biologische boeren hebben
gekregen die prikkels en deskundigen verwachten dat tot 10% van alle voedsel
verbouwd lokaal. In Duitsland, bijna alle babyvoeding is volledig biologisch en
in sommige plaatsen, met een derde van alle brood wordt gebakken door
biologische ingrediënten.


Italië nog verder te verzekeren dat haar kinderen eten
biologisch voedsel. Haar regering wetgeving dat alle voedsel bereid in school
lunch programma's moeten worden organisch voedsel. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk,
werd gemeld dat meer dan 600.000 hectare grond werd toegewezen en beheerd onder
organische verzorging normen en de verkoop van biologische levensmiddelen
gestegen van ongeveer 100 miljoen pond aan ruim 1,2 miljard pond in slechts
tien jaar. Misschien wel de grootste verandering is gebeurd in Cuba, waar sinds
de jaren negentig, de regering verboden veel chemicaliën gebruikt in
traditionele landbouw en omgerekend de grond in het hele land naar biologisch
landbouwbedrijf grond. Dit betekent dat hij zou zijn zeldzaam zelfs vinden van
een stuk van biologisch geteelde producten binnen het land. duidelijk de wereld
gaat organische en in verschillende landen zijn lichtjaren voorligt op de US in
bevordering van biologische eten en stimuleren op de biologische boeren. De
trend is echter wel degelijk onder leiding in de goede richting.

10 Natural Remedies for Kidney Stones

The kidneys are one of the most important organs in the human body, as they help to detox and filter out impurities from the blood, as well as waste products in our urine. Kidney stones form when the kidneys are not able to process these toxins efficiently. In this case, a crystallization of unprocessed minerals build up, causing pain, stones and possible blockage of urine flow.
The following section will offer some simple natural remedies to help soothe the discomfort of kidney stones, as well as speed up the body’s natural healing process.
Lemon Juice for Kidney Stones
This is one of my favorites and easily one of the most effective remedies for kidney stones and the pain you may be experiencing. At the first symptom of stone pain, start by mixing 2 oz of organic olive oil with 2 oz of organic lemon juice.
Drink it straight down and follow with a 12 ounce glass of purified water. Wait 30 minutes. Then, squeeze the juice of 1/2 lemon in 12 ounces of purified water, add 1 tablespoon of organic raw apple cider vinegar and drink. Repeat the lemon juice, water and apple cider vinegar recipe every hour until symptoms improve.
Uva Ursi is another common folk remedy for kidney stones. Not only will it help fight off infection in the kidneys, but it may also help reduce pain and cleanse the urinary tract. 500mg three times a day is recommended for kidney stones.
Organic dandelion root is another great overall kidney tonic and cleanser. Taking up to 500 mg twice a day may be beneficial.
Kidney Beans for Kidney Stones
The shape of this bean may be indicative of its healing potential. An effective urinary home remedy for kidney stones, traditionally the pods where used as a medicinal decoction.
Try removing the beans from inside the pods, and then boiling the pods in purified hot water for six hours. This liquid can be strained through cheese cloth, cooled and taken throughout the day for one day to ease kidney stone pain.
A diuretic, horsetail tea is another effective natural remedy for kidney stones. Drink up to 3-4 cups of horsetail tea daily, or 2 grams of the herb in capsule form daily.
Pomegranates for Kidney Stones
We all probably know that pomegranates have many health benefits. But, more specifically, the seeds and juice of pomegranates can be considered another natural remedy for kidney stones. This may be related to their sour and astringent properties. Try eating organic pomegranates or drinking freshly-squeezed pomegranate juice.
Studies show that people with recurrent kidney stones who took magnesium supplements had a 92.3 percent improvement rate in reduction of kidney stones. 300 mg of magnesium orotate is recommended daily for prevention and reduction of stones.
Celery for Kidney Stones
Both the vegetable and the celery seed are great diuretics and kidney tonics. Regular use of celery seed, both as a spice and a tea may prevent kidney stone formation.
A kidney tonififer, basil tea can be taken throughout the day for overall kidney health. If you have kidney stones try taking one teaspoon each of basil juice with raw honey daily for up to six months. It’s believed that folk remedies with pure basil juice can help induce stone expulsion from the urinary tract.
Unhealthy food intake is a primary cause of kidney stones. Try to cut down on the amount of sodas and energy drinks you consume. Avoid processed foods, as well as all alcoholic beverages. Add more fruits and veggies to your diet, especially those that are listed above.
I would also recommend reading the book “The Green Body Cleanse” to learn how to avoid kidney stone forming foods and beverages.
Please remember, the remedies for kidney stones listed above are not intended to replace medical care. If you’re experiencing alot of pain from kidney stones, it would be wise to go see your doctor immediately. For optimal health, I would also highly recommend doing a colon cleanse, liver and gallbladder cleanse, chemical and heavy metal cleanse and even harmful organism cleanse at least 1-2 times a year.

Natural Yeast Infection Remedies Are Perfect Yeast Fighters


Natural yeast infection remedies are preferred by the health-conscious. Even though over-the-counter and prescribed treatments are easily available, those who are looking for more lasting solutions to their yeast infection problem are now turning to natural remedies for yeast infection. Simply put, most natural yeast infection remedies are not only effective in combating yeast infection, they can be used on a more regular basis without any harmful repercussions on our health.

Natural yeast infection remedies can be easy to prepare. Folks always have this mindset that grabbing a medication or two at the pharmacy or clinic is the easiest and most convenient thing to do. This is not actually the case as natural yeast infection remedies too can be concocted with homemade ingredients. You get to save money and time waiting for consultation with your doctor.

We have a number of natural yeast infection remedies that have been reported to provide quick relief and healing for yeast infection.

Natural Yeast Infection Remedy 1 - Plain Yoghurt

You may have heard about this. Yoghurt is rich in acidophilus which is a natural yeast killer. Use only non-flavored yoghurt without sugar content. There are different ways to use yoghurt to cure yeast infection. You can either apply it directly in the vagina using a yoghurt-dipped tampon or douche with water. Some folks prefer it to be frozen as a popsicle. It is said to be extremely soothing though you would experience a slight sting initially. Eating yoghurt brings the acidophilus directly into our bodies. Normally the yeast infection would go off in a matter of days.

Natural Yeast Infection Remedy 2 - Acidophilus

Its effect was explained earlier in plain yoghurt. You can get hold of pure acidophilus in certain foods, milks and diary products. Head to the supermarket for some shopping and read the product labels. Alternatively, you can find them in powdered form at health food shops.

Natural Yeast Infection Remedy 3 - Gentian Violet

Smear gentian violet over the yeast infected area. Remember to wear a pad when you use this remedy. It probably works after the first round of treatment.

Natural Yeast Infection Remedy 4 - Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is one of the most potent natural yeast infection remedies. But we would not recommend using it as a direct topical medication because of its sting. Dilute it with water as a douche or take a bath in the apple cider vinegar-water solution.

Natural Yeast Infection Remedy 5 - Buttermilk

Buttermilk would build up your resistance against yeast infection. Be sure to drink at least one glass daily during the infected period. The yeast infection should clear up much faster.

10 Natural Remedies for the Flu

As we enter into the flu season, chances are that many people will experience the pesky effects of a cold or flu. Highly contagious, colds are the name we give for over 100 mild viral influenza forms floating in the air, on surfaces and in our bodies. There are many natural ways to both prevent and reduce the symptoms of the common cold and raise your immunity during this vulnerable season. If you follow these recommendations, chances are your flu catching ability may be prevented, wont last as long, or be quite so severe.

Flu Remedy - Vitamin D

Boosting up on Vitamin D helps to prevent colds and flu. This may be related to the necessary role this vitamin plays in the protection and lubrication of many of the body’s principle organ systems. It also boosts cellular growth and immune cell activity, and lowers the inflammatory response. I recommend 15 minutes daily of natural sunlight, consuming more foods with vitamin d and possibly taking a vitamin D3 supplement.

Flu Remedy - Vitamin C

If you have had a lingering cold that just wont go away, chances are you are not getting enough vitamin C. A powerful support for the common cold, you can take up to 2000mg four times daily. Fresh squeezed lemon is also a good way to naturally supplement vitamin C levels. The benefits of drinking lemon juice mixed in water go beyond the naturally occurring vitamin C. Lemons aid the body in purifying the lymphatic system, which is a crucial component of fighting off colds. Squeeze ½ lemon in one cup of purified warm water and drink 3 or more times daily. For particularly mucous-ridden colds, you can add black pepper and fresh or powdered ginger.

Double blind studies have shown that zinc reduces both the intensity and the duration of the common cold by up to 50%. I personally take a zinc supplement when I want a strong anti-viral response. Zinc Orotates increase lysosome activity, which attacks viruses and has been an effective immune booster for the flu by lowering the viral load. Try taking a zinc supplement.

Flu Remedy - Oregano Oil

An extremely potent anti-bacterial and anti-microbial agent that relieves congestion and inflammation. I recommend about 9 drops of organic oregano oil taken internally in a capsule after meals on a full stomach.

Flu Remedy - Turmeric

An amazing herbal remedy, turmeric is a strong antimicrobial that helps push out out bacterial and viral infections. You can purchase in capsule forms, or you can buy the herb fresh or dried. For a cold-fighting tea, place a ¼ tsp. in hot purified water and drink often. This herbal jewel also helps ease sore throats. For a throat-coat for comfort, place 1/2 tsp. of turmeric in 2 tablespoons of raw honey and let seep down the throat.

Another great flu remedy is Germanium-132. I recommend taking about 600mg daily. The best source is available at: JARROW Formulas Germanium Ge-132 100 mg. – 60 Capsules. I would also suggest googling “Organic Germanium-132? to discover more benefits, but I would definitely recommend reading this article about Germanium-132 for attacking viruses.

Flu Remedy - Echinacea

An immune booster, this herb is a strong anti-viral and anti-bacterial agent. It is also a potent blood purifier, and overly-toxic blood may lead to flu and cold responses. Echinecea has also been shown to increase immune-boosting white blood cell counts in the body. If you have a cold, take 3 droppers full of tincture in warm water or drink as a tea.

Apple Cider Vinegar

A well-known natural healing agent, Apple Cider Vinegar is a good herb to take with a cold. Drink a mixture of 1/2 cup of purified water with 2 teaspoons of organic raw apple cider vinegar 3 times daily until symptoms disappear. After consuming, drink some more water to rinse the acid of the teeth. You can also sprinkle a little on your pillow before going to bed to breathe in the fumes while you sleep. I recommend Braggs apple cider vinegar, but any brand that still has “the mother” will work well.

Flu Remedy - Iodine

“In 1945, J.D. Stone and Sir McFarland Burnet (who later went on to win a Nobel Prize for his Clonal Selection Theory) exposed mice to lethal amounts of influenza viral mists. The lethal disease was prevented by putting iodine solution on mice snouts just prior to placing them in chambers containing influenza viruses.” I recommend 3 drops 2x daily of Detoxadine until symptoms diminish. Learn more about the different types of iodine supplements.

Many types of Silver are available. GHC has a limited supply of Silver Fuzion, but you can also find good sources online. The only three I would recommend are – Silver Fuzion, Utopia Silver and MesoSilver.

Things to avoid while fighting the Flu:

You should try to avoid the following list of foods – Milk and dairy, alcohol, coffee, animal meat or products, microwaved food or beverages, sugar, artificial sweeteners, white flour

My Personal Note

I would avoid flu vaccines like the plague. Most people do not know this but it is scientifically impossible to create a flu vaccine due to the fact that influenza has a different genetic pattern each time it replicates and is different every year. Each years flu vaccine is created from the previous year. Basically this means that the flu vaccine is nothing more than a money generating toxic injection.

10 Natural Remedies for Yeast Infections

The common yeast infection, also known as vaginitis, is a painful condition that many women may experience at some point in their lives.
Characterized by extremely uncomfortable itching, burning and pain, as well as a smelly discharge, vaginal yeast infections are most-often caused by unhealthy forms of fungus that grow in the warm, damp environment of the female genitalia. And while men may also experience this condition, it is most common in women. The most prominent form of yeast infection fungus is Candida albicans.
Below, we will discuss ten of the most common natural remedies for yeast infections. Hopefully, these remedies will provide you with relief from the uncomfortable itching and burning.
Probiotics for Yeast Infections
If you are currently taking any form of antibiotic, the likelihood of a yeast infection is increased. Taking a probiotic supplement or eating probiotic foods will help fight and restore the natural gut flora that prohibits fungal infections like Candida from forming. The antibiotic tetracycline is especially prone to causing growth of yeast organisms in the body. Learn more about probiotics benefits.
Soothe a yeast infection by douching with apple cider vinegar. Mix 3 tablespoons of raw organic apple cider vinegar with 1 quart of water, add to douche apparatus and use. I recommend Braggs ACV, but any raw apple cider vinegar with “the mother” still included should work. For added benefit you can add some colloidal silver to the mix. I recommend adding 2 ounces of Silver Fuzion to each batch.
Garlic for Yeast Infections
Another common remedy for yeast infections, is to eat several fresh garlic cloves on a daily basis. While this will probably give you bad breath, it will also help clear up your yeast infection. This remedy works because garlic has natural anti-fungal properties, which will also help these infections from starting. It is also a well-known anti-bacterial and natural antibiotic.
Most soaps are too harsh on the delicate feminine anatomy. They strip the area of its natural protective oils. These oils help prevent yeast from forming. Similarly, feminine hygiene douches and sprays, as well as perfumed products, also reduce the natural protective oils. Alcohol and other toxic chemicals in these products alter the delicate pH balance of the vagina and leave you more susceptible to infection. Use organic hygiene products, if necessary.
Oregano Oil for Yeast Infections
Oregano oil is another effective remedy for yeast infections. It will help reduce yeast and candida infections. Place 9 drops in a capsule and swallow 2-3 times daily after meals on a full stomach. Learn more about oregano oil benefits.
Tea tree oil is a powerful natural antifungal. Place a few drops of organic tea tree oil on a natural tampon and insert into your vagina for 4 hours. Do this in the morning and afternoon. Do not sleep with the tampon inserted. A couple of days should be sufficient to relieve the symptoms.
Cranberries for Yeast Infections
Cranberries are not just for bladder infections; they can also be used to help with yeast infections. A well-known female reproductive tonic, you can also drink the juice, unsweetened, to help restore healthy pH balance in the vagina. This aids in fighting off fungal infection.
Another common folk remedy related to restoring flora and pH balance, yogurt can be used topically and vaginally to reduce a yeast infection. Insert 1 to 2 tablespoons into the vagina, and externally to the affected area and leave for at least several hours before washing. Make sure yogurt has no added sugars, fruit or other ingredients. Another way is to soak a tampon in the yogurt and insert for 2 hours, then remove.
This remedy may sound silly, but it’s one of the easiest things you can do to help with yeast infections. It works because yeast fungus loves warm, moist environments. Wearing loose-fitting clothing and underwear will keep oxygen moving, and help prevent the growth of fungus. I recommend giving organic cotton and other natural forms of clothing a try.
Everyone has natural amounts of Candida yeast in the body, although a healthy body’s natural environment prohibits this fungus from taking over. It is when you get an infection that your body gives you a sign that you are out of balance. A stressful lifestyle can cause Candida to grow in excess, as our immune system becomes compromised. Make sure to take time to slow down and recuperate, particularly after stressful life events. I recommend massage, meditation, yoga and frequent exercise.
These are just ten remedies for yeast infections. Surely, you guys know of a few more remedies that I probably missed. Please feel free to add your remedies in the comments below.
