Tips for Preventing

When used in conjunction with the Homeopathic Remedies, the simple tips listed below are very effective for preventing yeast and other causes of infections.

Avoid soaps that contain alcohol and chemicals that may cause irritation or alter the pH balance of the vagina.

Routine douching increases the risk of yeast infection. Use condoms during sex to prevent transmission of a yeast infection.
Many studies have shown that oral contraceptives increase glycogen in the vagina, which encourages the rapid growth of yeast. Ask a doctor about alternative birth control methods.

People with compromised immune systems, uncontrolled diabetes, or increased estrogen levels run a higher risk of developing yeast infections. Sex with an infected individual and frequent use of antibiotics also cause yeast infections.

Avoid hot tubs, extremely hot baths, feminine sprays, deodorant tampons, and bubble bath solutions with chemicals. Check your pH levels with an over the counter test. A vaginal pH lower than 4 could indicate a yeast infection.

Don’t use baking soda to relieve itching. It raises the pH, creating an environment that promotes the growth of yeast. Avoid stress or reduce it with meditation, yoga and other techniques.
