The Infrared Sauna, your yeast infection cure when nothing else works.

Use the infrared sauna when you are looking for an effective yeast infection cure, or even to treat conditions like vaginal bacterial infection.

Not exactly situations that you like to discuss with your doctor.

Various types of bacteria are naturally present in all people. This is normal.

Candidiasis, better know as thrush or a yeast infection is a fungal infection resulting from the overgrowth of certain types of bacteria. They most often strike women, which doesn't mean that men never need a good yeast infection cure. Most women will develop one at least once in their lifetime. It is the most common cause of vaginal irritation.

Symptoms are :

• Itching feeling that makes you want to scratch
• Redness of the skin
• A burning feeling
• Irritation of the skin

What causes it ?

A lot of people have a hard time looking for an effective yeast infection cure. Experts are not sure what the exact causes are, but have a good idea that taking antibiotics for a prolonged period of time can be a factor. In some cases, birth control pills are also mentioned.

Experts agree that anytime your immune system is suppressed, you are more sensitive. And that is exactly where infrared therapy comes into the picture. Infrared is a most effective yeast infection cure.

How does infrared help ?

Infrared heat is a completely safe form of naturally occurring energy that travels 2 to 3 inches deep into your body and warms up your body.

By creating an "Artificial Fever", infrared heat has a positive effect on your immune system. Often misunderstood, fever is a natural healing response of your body. Your body naturally boosts the function of your immune system during a fever, slowing down virus and bacterial growth. This helps ward off invading organisms.

Infrared sauna therapy allows increased blood circulation to carry great amounts of nutrients to the skin, thus promoting healthy tone and texture. It also provides a mild cleansing of the skin.

If you prefer a natural way of healing yeast infections over taking pills or using creams, infrared is definitely the way to go.

Please note, however, that personal experiences may differ among individuals. I am not a doctor. If your infection does not go away with infrared therapy, it would be wise to consult a doctor.

Some treatments that I know of besides infrared are :

• Diflucan (pills)
• Monistat (cream)
• Terazol (cream)
• Mycelex (cream)
• Gyne-lotrimin (cream)

Please allow me to say that I haven't tried one of them (I was lucky enough to be spared from yeast infections - at least until now).

I may sound like a broken record, but please, consult a doctor before you decide to self-medicate. The only exception here is if you have been previously diagnosed for yeast infection by a physician. A doctor can diagnose you by performing a microscopic examination of a so called "slide test".
