Vaginal Infections

Like any other infection vaginal infections arise when the body's immunity is low and when the pH (Acid-alkali) balance is off in the vaginal area. This could be because of poor hygiene also.

We suggest to follow these general recommendations for one month and if you still have problems write to us and we will be able to suggest individualized therapy for you.  These work for sinus problem also.

Vaginal douching: Prepare good quality yogurt (curd) at home. Allow is to sour well. Apply this yogurt slightly inside the bacteria. These bacteria are good and so will stop the growth of unwanted bacteria causing infections.

Vaginal  Tampoons (Candida infections): Wash 8 to 10 neem leaves crush them to extract the juice and  make it into a vaginal tampon using fine clean cotton covered with a  sterile piece of gauze. Keep at night inside the vagina before going to bed and then remove in the morning. Do this for two to three weeks till it is gone.

Make sure at least three inches of cloth lies outside to freely remove the tampon.

You can use good quality neem oil also instead of leaf juice for tampooning. Try always a small quantity of oil or leaf extract and see if it suits you and then proceed.

Vaginal  Tampoons (Trichomonas)  If it is trichomonas  infection, then garlic is better than neem. Take a small clove of garlic (separated from a cluster of garlic cloves) without removing its flaky skin. Removing skin may CAUSE irritation in the vagina because the skin is so soft there.  Also hard tipped end of the clove needs to be removed because it may cause injury to vagina. Insert garlic clove like a tampon into the vagina, change garlic three times a day for the first three days, then twice a day for two weeks.

Another way is to take one or two separated garlic cloves and make a tampon using a fine clean gauze. Insert this tampon into the vagina at night after relieving yourself before going to bed and remove in the morning. Continue this treatment for 10-15 days and discontinue it during menstruation. Also it is good that both the partners consume orally 3-4 cloves twice a day after food.  

Water Therapy :   We generally recommend doing Water Therapy  to detoxify the body. Instead of drinking room temperature water you can drink luke warm water (with general flavors like ginger, cumin seeds, mint leaves, cardamom, coriander seeds, Sarsparilla root powder, hibiscus flowers etc)  for better results.

Earth Therapy: 

Neem oil : Once a week before going to bed drink one teaspoonful of neem oil. This will kills the parasites and also improve the immunity and decrease infections

Herbal preparation: Asparagus racemosus (Satavari) is good for non-specific vaginal infections.  Grind 5 grams of roots , 10 grams of cumin seeds and 15 grams of brown  sugar. Add a cup of fresh milk to form a paste. Take a cup of this paste every morning on an empty stomach (just before breakfast)  for a month.

Soup: Horse gram (brown lentils): Sprout and cook this  lentils with little turmeric salt, tamarind and chillie or black pepper  to taste. Take two tablespoons of cooked gram twice a day at meal times for few weeks.

 Other changes: We recommend using less cheese and milk products because they increase mucus in the body.  Also use fiber rich whole grains like brown rice (remember to soak in water and cook), whole rye flakes (33% fiber compared to 20% fiber in oats), whole wheat flakes (28%), barley flakes (26%).

Include more vegetables and fruits in your diet. Reduce or avoid any kind of meat foods. It is good to remove mucus in the body and cleanse the liver.  Do  Castor oil and Gallnut (cleansing) alternatively every two months.

Fire Therapy:  Yoga is very good especially Surya Namaskar given in fire section. It helps in good lymphatic circulation.

Lymphatic circulation is very vital to prevent allergies. Because immunity of the body depends on the lymphatic circulation. So do Surya Namaskar, walking particularly Breath-aware  Pancha Bhoota  walking will help.

• These two simple self-massage practices that follow are incredibly effective for improving immunity. For both, sit at the tip of a sturdy chair with your back erect, spine stretched, and your head tilted slightly forward.

1. Inhale and gently press your forehead just inside the temples with your palms. Exhale and release. Repeat three times.

Air therapy: Pranayama  is equally effective in reducing allergies. Taking a long breath and relaxes every now and then reduces stress in the body and improves lymphatic circulation.
