Yeast ArrestYeast Arrest is an over the counter treatment for yeast infection and providing you understand one or two things about it, it is an effective yeast infection cure for some women1. First thing to keep in mind - a key ingredient in Yeast Arrest is boric acid. This is what makes it so effective. It is also what makes it sting and burn so much if your vagina is raw. Boria acid vaginal capsules are a well known "old fashioned" treatment for yeast infection that has been studied a little more of recent years and seem just as effective as more conventional yeast infection treatment. In fact, against several species of Candida, boric acid capsules are more effective.2 Boric acid is also effective against chronic yeast.1 Recurrent yeast infection (vaginal thrush) can indicate that your infection is being caused by one of the lesser know strains of Candida and in that case this product is a good choice. This is an over-the-counter treatment but you can also buy Yeast Arrest online. Other ingredients:
Calendula flowers - the flower of calendula (Calendula officinalis, pot marigold) does have antibacterial ability3 although there does not appear to be any hard evidence out there of its use against vaginal yeast infection. It does however have a long and well documented history as a herbal healer. Orgeon grape root - (Mahonia aquifolium has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties4. If your vaginal skin is broken then don't use it because boric acid can be absorbed through broken skin. It will sting like crazy! If your vaginal skin is not too raw, then Yeast Arrest is a sensible choice. It is NOT ABSORBED through intact skin. This is probably the key reason why some women swear by Yeast Arrest and others find it stings or burns too much. One thing you can guarantee - it won't work for everyone. Each woman's body is different, your vaginal flora will be different, the reasons you get yeast infection will be different - I've never heard of a remedy that "cures" everyone. This is a genuine product with good results for some woman. If you decide to try it - give it time to work. Some women (in desperation, I know) are bouncing from one remedy to the next with the result that their poor ol' vagina becomes even more troubled and painful. These suppositories are inserted into the vagina - I mention this because in some countries suppositories are popped in elsewhere! This is a vaginal treatment. Front passage, ladies! When a woman is deciding if this is the right yeast infection treatment for her, it is always helpful to read comments from other women who have already used it - so if anyone would like to share their views please do and I'll add your reviews of Yeast Arrest to this page. 1.
