Natural Cures for Common STDS

Although there are countless prescription and even over the counter drugs that you can use to cure sexually transmitted illnesses and infections, some people prefer to use natural medication. People have been using plants as medicine for thousands of years, in fact without these plants, modern pharmaceuticals would not exist. Below are a few common STDs and natural remedies for them.

HPV

Human papillomavirus or HPV is one of the most usual sexually transmitted infections. Because of this, our immune system usually has no problem protecting us and countering it. being diagnosed with this infection shouldn’t be a cause of panic, so don’t agree to harsh testing like treatments injected to the cervix or even biopsy, 70% of untreated cases actually clear out the infection within a few months. You can use the extract from St. John’s or St. Joan’s wort which contains Hypericum perforatum, a few times a day to clear out the infection.

Chlamydia

Another common infection, this is caused by a bacterium that stays in the cervix. Untreated, this can permanently damage the sex organs, cause infertility and pelvic pain. Most doctors would use antibiotics to cure this infection. Natural remedies would be extracts from yarrow, usnea, pau d’arco and Echinacea, taken 3 to 6 times per day together with an antibiotic. This helps remove deeper infections without any relapse, scarring and will not affect fertility.

Genital Herpes

About 1 in every 5 college students are diagnosed with genital herpes. The bad thing about this infection is that it can stay doormat and it’s resilient to drugs, meaning once you get infected, it says there forever. Infections like these are one of the main reasons why people should have safe sex, since infections could affect them for the rest of their lives. Thankfully, there are natural remedies that help tone down the symptoms. Lemon and hyssop balms can help soothe any active sores. You can use oil form St. John’s or St. Joan’s wort to cure spots that develop on the skin. Black currants can also keep the virus dormant and minimize the chances of outbreaks.

 People need to be aware and well knowledgeable about the consequences of being sexually active. The best treatment for STD is still prevention and safe sex. Multi-vitamins can also help keep out immune system from becoming weak and stop infections from spreading out. Many natural multi-vitamins are available in health shops and even drugstores.
