Shopping for a yeast free diet

What is Candida?

Candida is a controversial term because most of the medical professionals deny its existence making it very difficult to get a medical diagnosis of Candida. But many of Western Medical Doctors/ Naturopaths are beginning to recognize it. So, if you feel this can be a part of your case history, find a doctor who best represents your needs.

Candida is the popular term for Candidiasis (yeast overgrowth) - a condition first identified by American physicians in the 1970s. Moderate amounts of Candida (and other yeast) live in every one of us without causing any harm, but when given free rein to grow (when intestinal bacteria is killed by antibiotics, drugs, NSAID’s, alcohol and other items listed below) it leaves an opportunity for invaders to recolonize the intestines. Once Candida mutates, it begins to break down the intestinal lining and eventually breaks through the intestinal wall. Once through the intestinal wall it now moves through the bloodstream and anywhere blood travels (organs, tissues, joints, bones etc.)

Contributory factors to Candida over Growth:
 use of the contraceptive pill or HRT
· use of natural progesterone cream
· use of other steroids (hydrocortisone, prednisolone etc.)
· use of immune-suppressive drugs
· repeated use of broad-spectrum antibiotics e.g. for acne
· dental mercury amalgam poisoning
· other heavy metal poisoning e.g. lead, cadmium
· chemical poisoning from the home, garden, workplace etc.
· hormonal changes e.g. puberty, pregnancy, menopause and Stress

In cases of low levels of chromium, supplementing with extra chromium could make a difference in balancing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon: This spice is a powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and anti-microbial agent. In laboratory tests, growth of yeasts that were resistant to the commonly used anti-fungal medication fluconazole was often stopped by cinnamon extracts.

The Blood Type Diet by Dr Peter D‘Adamo is outlined is his book Eat Right For Your Type. I feel it can be of supreme guidance in selecting foods that harmonize with you and avoiding foods that potentially have a deleterious effect on your blood and hence, immune system. Make sure you only choose foods that are compatible with the yeast free diet.

How to have a fresher and less itchy vagina

Many women have suffered from yeast infections or bacterial vaginal infection at least once in their lifetime. And a good deal of both men and women may also have suffered from viral skin infections such as genital warts and herpes.

Essentials Oils for Treating Yeast Infections

Many women have probably suffered from yeast infection at least once during their lifetime. This infection is usually characterized by an itchy, painful and burning sensation along with "cottage cheese" or thick vaginal discharge. Yeast infections can be caused by a number of organisms. One the most common causes of this problem is Candida albicans, a type of fungus, which exists in the normal healthy vagina.

Among the most effective essential oils against the common yeast infection are lavender and tea tree oil. All of these essential oils have strong antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, these oils were proven effective in inhibiting the growth of the Candida fungus in laboratory experiments.



Aromatherapy Treatments for Viral Skin Infections

Genital warts and herpes are viral infections, which commonly affect both men and women. Genital warts are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) while herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus.

One of the most effective ways to treat genital warts is by applying essential oils directly to the warts two to four times daily. When essential oils are used full strength, they must be dabbed directly to the warts only since they can easily burn sensitive skin. Sexibalm is blended to be safe for delicate skin, including the vagina and anus. It has been used extensively in this fashion.


Do you have eczema or psoriasis? Do you have flare ups in your genital region? Sexibalm contains a Coconut Oil and Shea Butter base, along with the essential oils, that will not thin your skin like steroid creams.


Sexibalm is can also be used as an after shave skin conditioner.

Simply put, razor bumps — also known as shaving bumps and pseudofolliculitis barbae — are the consequence of too-close shaving. Hair that's cut too short can curl back into the skin, resulting in tender, swollen bumps that can be skin-colored or reddened. Also, bacteria on the skin can enter through abrasions. The essential oils in Sexibalm has activity against this bacteria.

Your immune system reacts to ingrown hair the same way it reacts to splinters, producing inflammation and pus to rid your body of the "foreign" substance. Because of this, razor bumps aren't technically considered an infection. As hair continues to grow under the skin, however, the ongoing irritation can lead to folliculitis, an infection of the hair follicles. Although most folliculitis cases are mild, "deep" folliculitis can result in permanent hair loss and scarring.

With proper skin care, you can protect yourself from razor bumps. But if they do appear, home remedies can help relieve the irritation and speed healing. Persistent and painful razor bumps — especially those that become infected — should be evaluated and treated by a doctor or dermatologist.

Who Gets Razor Bumps?

Anybody who shaves — men, women, and even children — can develop razor bumps. No shaved skin is immune, including the face, armpits, legs, and pubic area. Other hair-removal techniques, such as plucking, waxing, and electrolysis, can also cause razor bumps.

Sexibalm is also great for women who work out in spandex and have topical itching. This oil is a good moisture barrier and helps itching!
