Elderly Care: Helping You Deal With the Dying Process
Natural Treatments For Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Julio Carr
A diagnosis of pelvic inflammatory disease can be devastating to a woman who is still in her reproductive years. There are several medical treatments that are available for taking care of a pelvic inflammatory infection. However, there are also natural treatments that you can use to ensure that the infection does not spread. Nature has provided powerful natural solutions that can help you to cure pelvic inflammatory disease naturally.
Get As Much Vitamin C As Possible
Vitamin C is extremely good for your cervix, since it helps it to produce collagen which holds your cervical cells very closely together, so that bacterial infection can be prevented or curbed. You can take vitamin C supplements if you wish, but getting it from natural sources is best. Eating a lot of citrus fruits, such as oranges and strawberries is one sure way to ensure that you get enough vitamin C.
Eat Foods That Are High In Beta-Carotene
Foods that are rich in beta-carotene will strengthen cervical cells and stop infections. You should try to eat carrots, sweet potatoes, mangoes and spinach as much as possible. Eating some of these foods at least twice per day will help to ward off pelvic inflammatory disease.
Get More Garlic Into Your Diet
Garlic is rich in a compound called allacin which is a very powerful antibiotic. The allacin in garlic will help the good bacteria in the vagina to thrive and prevent the bad bacteria in the vagina from spreading. In order to take advantage of the benefits that garlic can provide against pelvic inflammatory disease, you should try eating it raw or chopping it up and adding it to your food.
Use Yogurt
Plain yogurt that is sugar free is great for healing pelvic inflammatory disease. This is because it contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, this is good and healthy bacteria that is also found in the vagina. The bacteria called Gardnerella vaginalis, is often responsible for causing pelvic inflammatory disease. Lactobacillus acidophilus is toxic to Gardnerella vaginalis and will effectively destroy it. In order to make use of this treatment you should lather the yogurt onto your vulva and then push a good quantity of the yogurt into the vagina. Wash off the vulva after three hours. The vagina will self-clean itself of any excess yogurt. For best results, you should repeat this treatment for three days.
Natural treatments for helping pelvic inflammatory disease are not only effective, they also save on medical expenses in the long run. Talk to your obstetrician for more information.
Share
As an elderly care worker, I have witnessed the deaths of many individuals. I have seen family members become angry, sad, and completely silent at the end. I have also seen individuals refuse to see family members out of denial. People deal with death in different ways, and the strong emotions are often unfamiliar and scary. If you have a parent or grandparent who is elderly, then I want to share with you what I know about end of life care and dying process. We are a society that does not talk about death, and this can cause great pain when a family member dies. Learn about the process and find out how to deal with your own emotions and how to love your family members at the end. If there is only a small amount of time left, then I want you to cherish the final moments.
