Welcome to Gaia! ::

My pH balance recently got off balance and allowed the yeast to take over my lady parts. There was discharge and a terrible itch. For the first time, I didn't use Flucanazole or Diflucan or Monistat to resolve it (Being prescribed antibiotics all the time will get you pretty used to yeast fighters). I researched that pure cranberry juice and two garlic cloves a day would settle it. Within three days, it is gone.

I'm in disbelief more than relief. I just healed myself naturally y'all.

That sounds like an awesome remedy! I'll have to remember to do this in case the same ever happens to me. I'm glad it worked for you!

My parents told me
that cranberry juice was helpful
if I ever had any issues.

I just never realized
they were right 3nodding

That's awesome! I mean, not the first part, haha. But it's awesome you cured it without meds!

Cranberry juice is so dang awesome.

Sometimes I notice I'm peeing more than normal, and my bladder kinda hurts. Maybe not pain.. but pressure. I don't know if it's a bladder infection or a kidney infection, because I've had both and they felt the same. xD

But my mom told my cranberry juice works, so every time I start to get that way again I drink cranberry juice and it goes away. :3 I probably should have said this before somewhere but I never thought of it until you mentioned it.

Glad to hear it works for other stuff too.

How about chlorella? c:

Since this says women issues, how about we share our experiences with organic ways around menstruation and PMS as well? For PMS symptoms and my skin, instead of using birth control pills, I use Evening Primrose oil capsules, from the brand Solgar. EPO is also a little alkalising, so it helps toward the pH problem as well. It also contains GLA that nourishes and hydrates the skin from the inside out (results seen in about 4 to 6 weeks). I'm on my second bottle. *happy*

Yes, I do ingest this. No, it does not obstruct the menstrual cycle in any way. It balances female hormones in order to reduce PMS symptoms including cramps, and also to prevent and remedy hormonal skin breakouts. It is a replacement for the Pill if you are taking it to balance your hormones. For a natural contraceptive, of sorts, try taking Neem leaf capsules (do not use if pregnant and/or breastfeeding, and keep out of reach of children, babies and animals - it is poison to them). Neem kills sperm as it enters your body and prohibits embryo growth. It's also detoxifying and when applied topically, kills the acne bacteria (specifically the acne bacteria). It can also be used as a natural pesticide (unless you have animals that nom on the plants) diluted and sprayed/misted on plants. I drank that for a while, but since I don't have sex, I don't really need it beyond its internal cleansing properties (from parasites, worms, viruses, etc).
