Home Remedies for Yeast Infections – What You Need to Know
It’s happened to many of us at one time or another, and not just women, but some men too. We’re sitting in the doctor’s office, being told (once again) that this yeast infection we’re suffering through is just something that we’re going to have to deal with off and on for the rest of our lives. It’s obvious that modern medicine either can’t, or won’t find a way to cure this problem for good.
Out of the blue one afternoon, I thought to myself: “Before western medicine came to be, weren’t there any home remedies for yeast infections that people used?”
I mean if you consider it for a minute, it’s logical that folks from times gone by suffered with these same problems, and yet they were able to effectively deal with it. So why can’t we?
The answer to that question ended up taking me on a long and winding road. It seems that much of that sort of wisdom was handed down verbally (as it wasn’t something that was talked about openly in that era) and much of what was written has disappeared over time. Why? Well, two main reasons come immediately to mind:
1. The major pharmaceutical companies CANNOT patent anything that occurs in nature. (In other words, they can’t make money from it.)
2. If you didn’t keep getting sick, and going into the doctor for more pills and creams, he would be out of business! Staying well doesn’t line the pockets of doctors and drug companies.
Think about it!
It took awhile, but I did locate a precious few natural, safe treatments eventually. Now I know why they aren’t easy to find. They work! No more flare ups or issues in nearly a year now. So much for my “chronic” yeast infection!
