Vaginal Douching Protocols: Colloidal Silver and Calendula

8 Comments

While douching isn’t something I recommend women do on a regular basis, there are some benefits to using this technique if you have a yeast infection you need to clear up. The key is to choose the right ingredients to prepare your douche. While an apple cider vinegar douche may work well, there are a couple of others to consider.

Douching is considered by some women as not a good thing to do as it may aggravate a vaginal condition, others find that it offers no real positive effect on a chronic condition. In my experience, the feedback I’ve received from many women has been most positive, especially the protocols I mention in my book Candida Crusher. Here are some useful douches you will find can offer much benefit.

Colloidal Silver

Colloidal silver is a mixture of microscopically small pure silver particles suspended in water. When applied topically to the vaginal area, colloidal silver when diluted in water can provide immediate relief as it has a marked anti-fungal action. The usual dosage is to mix ½ – 1 teaspoon of colloidal silver with a glass of tepid pure water (250ml) and use the mixture to douche the vaginal area. Colloidal silver works well when used in this way, or when added to apple cider vinegar as a wash.

A stronger concentration can be used after several hours if you feel no change or im­provement. Silver is a powerfully effective anti-microbial that is able to destroy bacterium and various fungi, and I have seen this treatment work when others failed, especially when the colloidal treatment was rotated with the water-soluble tea tree oil douche.

Calendula

Here is a great douche, which is particularly effective around childbirth, or any time the vagina has been affected by any kind of trauma. This douche is very effective for any ongoing issues after an episiotomy or any vaginal tears. Calendula herbal tincture, and be sure to get the low-alcohol extract version, is one of the most anti-fungal of liquid me­dicinal herbs and is well known for its ability to heal skin rapidly. Use one dessertspoon of calendula tincture per 250ml tepid water and use this mixture to douche the vaginal area. Use a suitable applicator to irrigate the vagina deeply if possible. Just speak with your naturopath or herbalist who will be able to supply you with liquid calendula of a low-alcohol content.

Don’t want to use liquid herbal medicines or find it all too much? Another option is to use calendula cream or Kolorex (Horopito) cream. Kolorex cream or capsules is a New Zealand product that is available in USA. Here is yet another effective solution for you; you may want to consider a feminine cream based on tea tree oil, Horopito or calendula.

An Introduction to Eradicating the Vaginal Yeast Infection

1 Comment

anxiousMany female patients we see want to cure their yeast infection once and for all. They have most probably been to their medical doctor before seeking relief, and it is usually instant relief they are looking for. They want it fixed and they want that annoying prob­lem fixed NOW. Can you relate to this? The you’ve come to the right section on my website.

Some have visited their doctor just once, some twice, and yet others have gone to their health care practitioner literally dozens of times repeatedly trying to find the magic cure for their yeast-related problems. I would question the motive as to why any health-care professional is happy to see a patient routinely over and again, often giving the same advice and not seeing much improvement, let alone a permanent cure. This chapter is about a QUICK improvement, but not about a permanent cure in most cases. If you are looking for a permanent answer you will need to adopt the Candida Crusher Program.

By following my 3-step male or female fast relief plan outlined below, you will get quick relief and sometimes within a few hours. You can do this mini program over and again and each time you will most probably find even more relief.

Quickly Crushing Female Yeast Infections is a 3-Step Process

I have always found that the women most often wanting a quick solution for yeast related problem would be generally referring to a vaginal yeast infection.

If it is a permanent cure of your yeast infection you are after, then it is important to follow the entire Candida Crusher program outlined in my book in addition to following the blueprint I have given down below. The female fast relief plan is a part of my Candida Crusher protocol, the same protocol I have recommended and fine-tuned over the past twenty years in my clinic. I know it works particularly well for most all women who follow it, because that is the feedback I nearly always get.

Important Note: Women who are experiencing a mild case of vaginal thrush will find this chapter most useful. If you condition is severe, then it is important to get the right diagnosis rather than to keep on treating a condition that may later turn out to be bacterial vaginitis or even an STD. For these reasons, be sure to visit your doctor to get the right diagnosis.

Women’s yeast infections are easy to treat at home and you won’t need to take any drugs or creams from the doctor either. I will outline the quick program below and give you all the instructions you need; this is one problem you can easily fix yourself.

If you have a menstrual cycle, it is important to commit to the program even during your menstrual period. Candida yeast infections can multiply rapidly during your flow days and particularly just coming into the cycle and just when it finishes. Many books I have read say to stop any treatments during your period, and that you may “cause harm” if you treat during your period. This is simply not true, and some women will wish to continually treat, even during their flow days, whereas others will wait until their period is finished, ultimately it is up to you but there is no reason why you can’t continue treatment.

What are the 3 Stages?

Here is a quick solution that will give you almost instant relief from your vaginal yeast infection, sometimes in a matter of hours. Follow each of the three steps in succession for the best results. You can repeat this series of treatments as often as you like. The quick vaginal solution is in three parts. There is a reason why there are three stages that I will explain. Sure you can just do a douche like many books recommend, but from experience in treating many women with this annoying problem; I have found my 3-step protocol to work the best. Skip stage 1 if you feel uncomfortable about it or just can’t access the Manuka honey, but I do urge you to try it at least once. You will be pleasantly surprised at just how amazingly effective this 3-stage protocol is.

Because it works very well and gives immediate relief. The three stages are best used in succession, try not to skip a stage and you can increase or decrease the duration of each stage depending on how much time you have, the severity of the condition and your experience level of using this effective protocol.

  • Stage 3 Soothe Irritation, Calm Itching and Burning Skin.

In the next few posts, we’ll outline each of these phases.

The Yogurt Douche

An Effective Solution For Vaginal Thrush

Many women will have heard about a yogurt douche, and quite a few will have tried this method. There are several different ways you can do this and I will explain the different methods and techniques. Women have used yogurt in Third World countries for many years and for many this is the only way they can get relief from their vaginal yeast infection.

Yoghurt is rich in lactic acid, because the process of growth from milk into yoghurt involves the conversion of lactose into lactic acid. The lactic acid helps digest lactose. In other words, yoghurt provides the enzyme required to digest milk and various dairy products high in lactose. Candida yeast infections cannot thrive in a lactic acid rich environment, and because yogurt is so rich in lactic acid, it makes sense to eat yogurt and use it regularly as a douche.

You may want to use this method for example on holidays or if you travel, because you need minimum equipment and it is very simple to do.

The first thing you will want to get is an irrigating syringe or vaginal applicator. Your local drug store will be able to supply you. I know some women who have successfully used a turkey or chicken baster, one those plastic syringes some people use to baste poultry with gravy. You can buy one at a good kitchen shop, and there are many different types available. You may find the applicator from the drug store more user friendly, as they tend to have a narrower tip and a rounded smooth end, but I have seen some kitchen-type basters which are perfectly acceptable, so find a gadget for this job that suits your own needs.

Make sure you buy a top quality organic natural yoghurt, and leave some out until it gets to room temperature, you will NOT want to place refrigerated temperature yogurt inside your vagina!

Yogurt Douche Method

You will require up to two tablespoons of (room temperature) yogurt and an applicator. The technique is very simple, you just pull out the plunger (or squeeze the bulb if you use a baster) and fill with sufficient yoghurt, then gently insert the tip into the vagina and squeeze the contents gently inside. Get yourself in a comfortable position you normally would if you were going to do a douche.  Do not rinse the vagina afterwards, just rinse the outside gently and pat dry. You will want to wear a maxi pad generally to minimize any possible leakage, and most women will do this before bed and leave in overnight.

The trick with a vaginal yeast infection is to ensure that you get the yogurt deep inside the vagina up to and around the opening of the cervix. Yeast will often hide in and around the opening of the cervix and it is here where most vaginal yeast douche methods fail, they never mention the importance of trying to reach deep inside and only recommend that you just insert the tip  into the vagina, not taking into account the cervix. I recommend that you lie with a pillow under your hips and elevate the pelvis, thereby allowing the yogurt to move further and deeper into the vaginal area. That way you have a better chance of reducing the yeast population throughout the vagina, and will positively affect the health of the cervix as well.

In the morning you will want to have a good wash in the shower or bath naturally and preferably wear a mini pad that day to prevent any residual leakage. Some women will use a tampon they have rolled in yogurt, although I don’t find the yogurt tampon anywhere near as effective as the Tea Tree oil tampon I will describe  in my book The Permanent Yeast Solution.

The three basic treatment options for the yogurt douche are:

  • Use a high quality natural (organic) low fat plain yoghurt 10 ml
  • Use a mixture of purified water and yogurt
  • Use the whey liquid (the straw like liquid on top of the yogurt), soak a tampon in the whey solution as it is an extremely rich source of lactic acid, the perfect environment for lactobacillus acidophilus. (Note the “lacto” component of lactobacillus.)
