Last summer I had a yeast infection. A minor bladder infection turned into a kidney infection while I was traveling, and I took a course of antibiotics. The antibiotics helped my kidneys, but did what they often do – they killed not only the infection but all the good, beneficial bacteria that was keeping my intestines and reproductive organs balanced. Hence, the yeast infection.

While strolling through the health food store looking for a product that would relieve the itching and discharge (I said this was TMI-zone!) I came upon one of the most amazing products I’ve ever tried. Vitanica’s Yeast Arrest was like a beacon of cooling, healing light at the end of a dark, itchy tunnel. Formulated by Dr. Tori Hudson, a naturopath, Vitanica contains tea tree oil, oregon grape root, boric acid, cocoa butter, and several homeopathic remedies.

These suppositories worked well and worked fast. What I also loved about the product was the box itself: Dr. Hudson makes dietary recommendations for avoiding sugar, yeast, alcohol, and fermented foods as well as several other ideas for decreasing the overgrowth of yeast. This may be the first time I’ve seen a product like this offer sound health advice necessary for helping customers truly heal.

The most popular over the counter product for yeast infections is Monistat. Monistat is applied in a similar fashion in that the medicine is inserted like a suppository. Unfortunately, the harsh anti-fungal chemicals contained in products like Monistat come with clear warnings and might cause:

Monistat may cause the following side effects:

• Rash
• Burning at the site of application
• Itching
• Irritation of the skin or vagina
• Stomach pain
• Fever
• Foul-smelling vaginal discharge
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Hives
• Chills

I feel safer already knowing that I have a full homeopathic flu kit at home. If you’ve never used homeopathic remedies before, you’ll be happy to know that they’re inexpensive, natural, non-invasive, and cause no dangerous side-effects.

Homeopathic medicines act by stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms. Because they are not acting chemically, they do not have the potential to cause any sustained damage. Therefore, homeopathic medicines are a great choice for mothers, adults, babies and animals. Generally very safe to use with other medication, homeopathy can be used for emotional and physical trauma, acute illness and long-standing health problems.

Dr. Jacob Mirman is a homeopathic medical doctor and author of “Demystifying Homeopathy”:
