Vaginal thrush is a type of infection that most women suffer from. In fact, it affects up to 3 out of 4 women at some point in their lifetimes. Some women may even experience more than one episode of it. Vaginal thrush, also known as a vaginal yeast infection or candidal vulvovaginitis, occurs due to excessive growth of yeast (candida) in the vagina. Under normal circumstances, the vagina contains a balanced mix of yeast, including candida, and bacteria. The bacteria produce acid, which prevents yeast overgrowth. When the balance between the naturally occurring yeast and good bacteria gets disrupted, it causes a yeast infection. The most common symptom of vaginal thrush is itching in the vagina and the vulva, which may be severe . Other symptoms include a burning sensation with urination, white and thick vaginal discharge having an appearance like cottage cheese, severe pain during intercourse, and redness and soreness around the vagina. Though not classified as a sexuall...

Nonresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is an infection caused by a type of Staphylococcus, or staph, bacteria. These bacteria have evovled through decades of unnecessary antibiotic use and have thus learned to resist many different antibiotics. Usually, these bacteria live in the nose and on the skin and cause no harm. However, when they begin to multiply uncontrollably, a MRSA infection can occur, especially when there’s a cut or break in your skin. This type of infection is highly contagious and can spread very fast through direct contact with an infected person. A person may also become infected by coming into contact with an object or surface that an infected person has touched. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one in three people carry staph in their nose, usually without any illness. Also, two in 100 people carry MRSA. MRSA infections are classified as either hospital-acquired (HA-MRSA) or community-acquired (CA-MRSA). Whi...

This plant was neglected, but it has many medicinal properties and all you have to do is pick it up from a clean field away from traffic. While our ancestors knew that dandelion syrup contains many medicinal substances, today we know that dandelion root may help cancer patients.     Scientists discovered that the root of this plant has a better effect than chemotherapy because it only kills cancer cells. It also has diuretic properties, stimulates the secretion of bile, cleanses the liver, helps with allergies and reduces cholesterol. It contains very important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B6, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin C, iron, calcium, potassium, folic acid and magnesium. The University of Windsor in Canada conducted a research at the department of chemistry and biochemistry, and the results brought new hope for patients with cancer.   It was discovered that dandelion root effectively kills cancer cells without any negative effect on other cell...

The cannabis-based, vaginal suppository is called Foria Relief and people are raving about its effects.  Making the claim "to maximize the muscle relaxing and pain relieving properties of cannabis without inducing a psychotropic 'high,'" the medicine accomplishes this using only three basic ingredients: organic cocoa butter, CO2 distilled  THC oil  and CBD Isolate. Lisa Rough, cannabis writer, experimented with Foria first-hand.  "Where I had been painfully aware of every inch of my midsection, suddenly it felt as though I had no midsection at all," she writes.  "From my waist down to my thighs, it was almost as if my groin had simply dissolved and was floating in some galaxy far, far away." The medicine still has yet to undergo clinical trials that would make it acceptable by common medical standards.  "Would I recommend something that's not FDA-approved or monitored? That would not be my recommendation," Dr. JoAnn Pinke...
