Yeast Infections, A Complete Guide

Yeast infections can be a one-time annoyance for some of us with vaginas. They can also be so frequent that some people struggle with them monthly. But there is another way!

This is my answer to a message I received about frequent yeast infections and thought it may help someone else!

This is by Aviva Romm, MD, herbalist, and midwife.

I reference it the most often because it helps us:

* understand why yeast infections happen and may be happening frequently, and getting to the root causes

* has both localized preventative and treatment tips

* with nutrition suggestions

In the off chance you are actually struggling with BV, bacterial vaginosis, it's not properly diagnosed in many folks and not well solved by the standard medical approach.
The symptoms are:

Thin graying colored discharge

A strong, unpleasant (often fishy) odor

Vaginal itching or irritation


This would be a more specific read for you if you feel those symptoms match yours.

How great does it feel that there are practitioners who actually know how to HEAL the body rather than just keep those who are already struggling in a cycle of antibiotics? And that there is an effective way out?

Those pieces by Aviva Romm are worth their weight in gold and one of the best guides out there to kick these infections!
