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.
Reasons
for Candida overgrowth
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.
What is
Yoga and how is it an effective cure?
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?
