• Natural, plain yogurt with live cultures helps to minimize yeast infection by establishing a normal environment in the genital tract.
• Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, which provide the nutrients needed to resist infection and facilitate healing.
• Regular consumption of unsweetened cranberry juice will help to prevent and treat urinary tract infection.
• Warm and hot natured foods that damage qi and yin should be avoided, such as:

- certain fruits like mango and durian that produce heat.
- stimulants like coffee, alcohol, and energy drinks.
- spicy/pungent/aromatic vegetables such as pepper, garlic, onions, basil, rosemary, cumin, funnel, anise, leeks, chives, scallions, thyme, saffron, wormwood, mustard, chili pepper, and wasabi.

• Avoid food and drinks with artificial coloring.
• Consume as few meat products as possible. Do not eat processed meats, such as lunch meats, hot dogs and sausages, as they contain nitrites that are associated with inflammation and chronic disease.
• During the treatment period, avoid sexual intercourse to prevent further irritation or infection, and to prevent spreading the infection to one‘s partner.
• Substances that irritate the genital area should be avoided, such as spermicides, lubricants, condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps, and contraceptive sponges. Select toilet tissue or feminine hygiene products that are not dyed, chlorine-bleached, or scented.
• Use hypo-allergenic or fragrance-free substances whenever possible, such as fabric softener, soap, laundry detergents, deodorant sprays, bathwater additives, shower gels, and related products.
• Candida cannot be killed with the normal washing and drying methods. Patients suffering from yeast infection can try to soak their underwear in bleach for 24 hours before washing them. Ironing may also be an alternative as candida is killed at high temperatures.
• Refrain from douching or the insertion of foreign objects in the vagina. In the case of severe itching, refrain from scratching or from excessive washing of the affected area.
• Wear loose clothing and refrain from wearing tight slacks, vinyl, or tight denim. Wear silk or cotton underwear for better ventilation. Avoid polyester, snug, nonporous or nonabsorbent underpants.
• Patients with urinary tract infections and cystitis should drink more water (more frequently) and urinate more often to prevent pathogens from lingering in the urinary tract and bladder.
  

Take 3 to 4 capsules three times daily with warm water on an empty stomach. Dosage may be increased to 6 to 8 capsules three times daily, if necessary.
