Acupuncture for Yeast Infection
Yeast infections occurs when acidity levels rise in the vaginal flora, causing abnormal discharge accompanied by itchiness, soreness, burning and thick, white discharge. Yeast infections can be the result of antibiotics overuse, hot weather, tight clothing and a low immune system. The Chinese believe that yeast infections are the result of internal and external pathogens that create imbalances in the energy flow of the internal organs. Chinese herbal remedies are believed to promote homeostasis in the vagina’s environment.
