Treat Yeast – Douche is Not a Good Idea

If you want to treat yeast, a douche is not a good idea! Chemical douches can disturb the healthy balance of Yeast And Bacteria in the vagina.

Healthy vaginas are a result of the correct balance of bacterial organisms, yeast and pH levels. If something should occur to throw that delicate balance off – such as using a chemical douche – the outcome can be a vaginal yeast infection.

Vaginal yeast infections – Vaginal Candidiasis – are caused when the Candida yeast fungi that lives throughout the body becomes agitated and an overgrowth of yeast occurs.

Causes for agitation can include..

• Hormonal changes such as pregnancy;
• Sperm.. and spermicides;
• Antibiotics – which can destroy the good bacteria that keeps yeast in check;
• Bubble baths, perfumes, and scented detergents that irritate the vaginal and perineum area; and..
• Using a chemical douche – which can negatively affect the proper pH balance in the vagina.

Chemical Douches Can Lead To A Yeast Infection:

Douches may contain antiseptic chemicals, baking soda, vinegar, or just plain water. Regardless, of the ingredients, most medical experts agree that douching should only be performed under the direction of your gynecologist.

Our bodies are designed to clean our vaginas through the course of natural, normal mucous discharge. To care for the vaginal area and perineum, simply wash with warm water and a gentle, unscented soap.

While experts agree, douches won’t actually cause a yeast infection; they can disrupt the healthy balance of lactobacillus bacteria that resides in the vagina. This is the bacterium that helps to keep yeast under control.

If you are experiencing any unusual discharge, itching or odor, it’s time to pay a visit to your gynecologist. He or she will perform tests to determine if there may be a vaginal infection, or some other abnormality occurring.

Douching During Pregnancy:

According to a recent clinical study performed by the Department of Microbiology and Clinical Microbiology at Trakya University Medical School Hospital, Edime, Turkey, douching during pregnancy led to a higher incidence of vaginal infections. And, such infections led to increased risks to perinatal mortality and morbidity.

Their study showed not only a marked increase in Candida, but also in “bad” bacteria such as Group B. Strep, and E. Colli. in the vagina. That’s bad news for the mother and her unborn child.

What can i use to extend the longevity of home made foods?

Hi there. Im planning on making my own almond and grain milks at home so I can have complete control on what goes into the mixture. My only concern is that these may not last too long, granted they are heated to 180 degrees during the mixing process. What can I use to act as a preservative without altering the taste that is not a synthetic or chemically modified product? The more organic, the better. I could also use a tip on what is the best method on preserving yeast breads and other baked goods that may not necessarily be used within a week.

pressure can the milks. You are already pasteurizing them so additional heat should not harm the flavor.

take the hot milk and pour into jars that have been sterilized in a hot water bath (fill the jars up with water put in a big pot and fill that with water until the tops of the jars are covers and bring to a boil and boil 10 to 15 minutes. I put my lids and rings in the boiling water as well) and than once filled and lids and rings are put on put the filled jars into a pressure canner and follow the instructions and the milk should be fine for a year or more.

You can also freeze the milks but that might compromise the flavor (do a test). Frozen milk should store in air tight jars for at least 6 months

You do not need to add any preservatives

I would think the milk would last at least 14 days in your fridge so if you make enough for a week and made milk every week you should need no preservatives nor should you have to can or freeze the stuff.

Should I Proof Yeast when Baking?
