Can
the daily practice of yoga be beneficial for
yeast infection sufferers? While the
true connection between yoga and yeast
infection hasn’t yet been studied adequately, a recent
research on yoga provided interesting findings on the
subject, showing how the daily implementation of
yoga principals is likely to benefit yeast infection
sufferers.
Also known
as candidiasis, yeast infection is caused by Candida
fungi, microorganisms that normally inhabit the warm,
moist environments of the genitals, mouth, throat,
gastrointestinal tract, and the digestive system. As
long as the beneficial gastrointestinal bacteria balance
the yeast, it will have no impact on one’s overall
health. However, under certain conditions Candida can
begin to multiply rapidly, and shift from yeast to
fungal form. Simultaneously,
it produces root like structures that tear the walls of
the intestines and penetrate the blood stream, thus
causing yeast infection related symptoms.
There
are several contributing factors, which can lead to
candida overgrowth. Among those factors
are:
1. Weakened immune system (due to other health impairments, lack of nutritional force, or the intake of immunosuppressing drugs, such as antibiotics) that fails to control fungi overgrowth.
2.
Extra consumption of foods that feed Candida (i.e.
sweets, refined carbohydrates, alcohol,
caffeine).
3.
Stress and / or poor mental state that weaken immune
system and elevates blood sugar levels, thus encourage
Candida overgrowth.
4.
The Accumulation of toxins in the blood and the
digestive tract that worsen digestion, stress the liver
and therefore hinder the normal defense process of the
body against candida.
Yoga
is a group of ancient spiritual practices that emphasize
conscious
living
and tapping into one’s inner potential for happiness,
mental and physical health. While
yoga principles are not originally created to heal
Candida infections, some of those methods can help
eliminate part of the primary conditions that lead to
this medical impairment. For instance, yoga relaxation
techniques place huge emphasis on mental focus,
alongside with physical postures and breathing. This can
greatly and positively help manage stress and strengthen
the immune
system.
Moreover,
yoga philosophy supports internal cleansing and
detoxification of the human organism by means of
fasting. Clogged and sluggish digestive system and
congested toxins in the blood and lymph are in fact the
primary Candida contributing factors. The first
rule of thumb regarding the vast majority of western
diseases in to discharge toxic matter, remove mucus and
restore the natural elimination process. Without that
step nothing significant can be
accomplished.
Finally,
the dietary principles outlined in the yoga
philosophy emphasize the importance of balanced food
combining and eating in harmony with the needs and
constitution of your body. Optimal dietary habits and
proper food combining can enhance digestion thus can
also be helpful in the battle against candida infection.
Despite
the fact that implementing yoga principles and practices
can be highly beneficial to your overall physical and
mental health and in your battle against candida
overgrowth, practicing yoga is only part of the puzzle
and is definitely not yeast infection cure per se. Yoga
principles can help you eliminate your candidiasis and
prevent its recurrence only when combined with
additional means of alternative medicine, such as the
intake of specific herbal and vitamin supplements,
dietary changes, detoxification and the while focusing
on killing candida and restoring the natural intestinal
balance.
Did you know that the holistic all natural approach is the only method that tackles the yeast infection internal environment from the root thus eliminating all candida related symptoms and prevent their recurrence permanently?
