13. What increases the risk of itching, fungal infections?
Fungi love warm and moist environments to grow in. Tight footwear or synthetic underwear, especially when used for exercising, provides an ideal breeding ground for fungi. Communal showers are another place that fungi commonly grow and fungal infections like Athletes' Foot are easily picked up on the feet. Candidiasis and any other reason for reduced immune functioning will predispose an individual to fungal infections. Diseases like diabetes and AIDS as well as lifestyle factors like exposure to pollution, lack of exercise and an unbalanced diet all hinder healthy immune functioning.
14. What else is recommended for diabetics with recurrent thrush and fungal infections?
Diabetics often suffer from recurrent fungal infections that cause unpleasant and chronic itching. Improve blood sugar control and reduce susceptibility to these infections with Insulate Plus, our 100% herbal remedy for diabetes.
15. What else can I do to relieve pruritis ani?
If you have noticed that there are certain foods or drinks that tend to trigger the itching, try your best to avoid them altogether. Common culprits include alcohol, milk, citrus fruit, fruit juices and nuts. Cleanliness or poor hygiene is almost never to blame for pruritis ani and vigorous cleaning with soap or toilet paper can actually make it worse. Avoid scratching or rubbing and try to keep the area dry. If the itching is associated with fatigue, low immune functioning, digestive problems or other fungal infections, systemic Candida may be to blame. See our Candidate Drops for a natural solution to Candidiasis.
16. When should I consult my health care provider?
If you suffer from recurrent itching without any apparent cause, total body itching or recurrent hives, it is best to see your health care provider to rule out the possibility of a serious underlying condition.
17. What else can I do to minimize itching?
- Try not to scratch, as this will just prolong the problem.
- Wear light, loose clothes and pajamas made from natural fabrics like cotton. Synthetic fabrics or rough fibers like wool can worsen itching.
- Apply cold compresses to the itchy area.
- Avoid excess heat or humidity, especially saunas, steam rooms and very hot baths. Instead, bathe in lukewarm water.
- May be used together with Candidate Drops in cases of systemic Candida or fungal infections.
