This article gives a quick outline and a few natural health suggestions for improving several of the more common medical disorders suffered by females.
A
AGEING

CANDIDIASIS The problem of thrush affects many ladies and the over-prescription of medicines can easily aggravate the issue. Include Probiotic dietary supplements to restore the natural healthy equilibrium of microorganisms in the intestines. Try the natural herbal remedy, Oregon Grape which has natural anti-biotic and anti-fungal properties.

CYSTITIS
Cranberry extracts help reduce bacteria from affixing to the urinary tract. Increase the antibiotic plant Oregon Grape. Vitamin C with bioflavanoids and zinc to aid healing. Meanwhile stay away from all processed carbs and processed sugars (sucrose, glucose and fructose being the arch enemies – some plant sugars may even help) products and boost garlic, onions and water intake.
E
ENDOMETRIOSIS Consume less fat, meats and dairy foods and increase fruit, vegetables and fibre intake. B vitamins help regulate the body’s hormones by encouraging a healthy liver. Antioxidant vitamins including the carotenoids and vitamin C have already been shown to be useful.
F
FIBROIDS Agnus Castus and milk thistle have supporting qualities. Golden Flax Oil, antioxidants, B complex and zinc.

INFERTILITY Research suggests that agnus castus can increase corpus luteal performance, thus prolonging the luteal phase and normalising progesterone levels often observed to be low in infertile women.
IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME (IBS, CROHN’S, ULCERATIVE COLITIS) Glutamine powder for repair, fibre to clean, calcium with magnesium and zinc as an anti-spasmodic, quercetin and golden flax seed as an anti-inflammatory.
Thirst is not always a reliable gauge for dehydrating conditions. In fact, thirst does not develop until after the body fluids are depleted well below levels required for optimal functioning. Simply stated, if you are thirsty, you are already dehydrated. How many ounces of water a day are you drinking? Based upon your weight, how many ounces a day should you be drinking?
The Institute of Medicine, based in Washington, D.C., recommends that men consume 3.7 liters (125 fl oz.) of total water a day and that women consume 2.7 liters (91 fl oz.) of total water per day. Another method to employ for calculating water intake is to drink 2/3 oz. for each pound of body weight. Example: If you weigh 160 lbs., you need 106 oz. of water per day.
