An Alternative Treatment For HPV
HPV, also known as human papilloma virus, is a group of over one hundred viruses that affect the skin and mucous membranes. Nearly forty percent of these strains are transmitted by sexual contact. The word, papilloma, means benign tumors, or warts. Warts are the most common external expression of this virus and therefore are the most treated symptom. Treatment for HPV can be done through the Western medical system or, as some people prefer through a naturopathic or homeopathic system.
Most people can have this virus and not show any symptoms. It is only when the immune system is compromised or the body is severely stressed. When this imbalance occurs, the body will usually produce warts at the site of the original contact. Most likely this will be around the genital or anal region, or mouth. This virus is also passed from skin to skin contact. Other symptoms are precancerous lesions in mucous membranes, which may develop into cancer. Have your medical doctor examination for these symptoms.
Remedies in the medical realm include many that work to remove the external signs of infection such as warts, by disrupting cell development of the Papilloma infection. Immune modulators for genital warts use two types of topical creams. Office treatments currently use a type of acid for small warts or a gel both can be used for external or internal vaginal warts. Surgical applications include freezing, laser, and cutting away larger warts. Side effects and repeat applications are common. A vaccine is available but must be given before any exposure to the virus occurs.
A natural and holistic approach to treating HPV, combines using several alternative approaches. Combining Homeopathic, Chinese, Ayurvedic, and, possibly other methods, symptoms of illness are treated. By balancing the body's functions, energy, and mind the immune system is believed to become stronger. With the increased strength, illness can be held off, or relieved.
The basis of homeopathic therapy is that a substance that will produce symptoms can be used to treat those same symptoms. Therefore, homeopathy uses substances found to give healthy humans symptoms of common ills, dilutes them, and uses this remedy to alleviate the symptoms in an ailing person.
Aspects of Chinese medicine are being incorporated into Western medicine. Acupuncture and massage being two most commonly accepted. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) focuses on how well the body's functions are operating and flowing. Western medicine primarily focuses on the body's anatomy. TCM incorporates food, herbs, massage, and acupuncture to bring healthful functioning to the body.
Ayurvedic medicine is a traditional medicine in India and South Asia. Ayurveda in the Western world is seen as an alternative or complementary treatment and is used in conjunction with Western medical ways. The emphasis in this practice is on balance. The thought that suppressing natural desires, such as eating and sleeping, needs to be heeded within reason otherwise it is unhealthy. Hygiene is also part of the practice. Treatments and the medicines used usually are plant-based, but others do include minerals, animal products, and fats or oils.
Search online for alternative or homeopathic treatment for HPV. There are many practices that approach health and treatments of illness as a whole body experience. Many do note on their sites that they do not suggest these treatments are to done instead of common Western medicine. It is suggested that treatments be used in conjunction with your doctor's recommendations.
