Description, Symptoms & Causes
The symptoms of vaginal irritation, or inflammation of the mucous membranes lining the vagina, include a burning and/or itching sensation and abnormal vaginal discharge.
Vaginal irritation may be caused by bacterial or fungal infection, vitamin B deficiency, or irritation from excessive douching or the use of such products as deodorant sprays.
Other factors, such as poor hygiene and tight, wet or damp underwear may contribute to the problem.
Pregnancy, diabetes, and the use of antibiotics disturb the body’s natural balance, creating an environment in which infectious organisms can thrive.
Oral contraceptives also can produce vaginal inflammation.

Genital Herpes
The Herpes Simplex virus is responsible for cold sores and genital herpes.
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease.
Although type 2 herpes virus is the common cause for genital herpes, the herpes virus that causes cold sores [type 1] can also infect the genitals and vice versa.
The first attack is usually the most painful and normally lasts for a few weeks.
After healing the virus remains dormant until it is reactivated.
Natural remedies are aimed at reducing the duration of an attack as well as the frequency.
Symptoms
Small, irritating, fluid blisters and red, burning, itchy sores on genitals, buttocks or thighs.
Lifestyle
- Avoid processed food, sugar, pure coffee, colas, chocolates, vinegar, citrus, tomatoes, white bread, white flour products, fine pastries, cream, full cream milk, ice cream, butter, bacon, sausage, peanuts, and peanut butter.
- Limit salt intake, dairy, seeds, whole wheat, seed loaf and nuts during attacks.
- Try to eat lean meat like turkey, lean pork and fish as well as vegetables.
Prevention
- Probiotics [500mgx2]; rinse mouth for one minute with 10ml colloidal silver first thing in the morning and last thing at night to improve immunity.
- Refrain from intercourse with carriers or use a condom.
- During outbreak: spray colloidal silver on affected areas to kill the virus.

- Drink 1.5-2.0 litre of water per day at the first signs of an outbreak to detox the body.
