My Red Yoga Mat

Tara Carpenter, NC., CPES.

Originally published on July 15, 2015

My red yoga mat is like a loved teddy bear that has been with me through thick ‘n thin since my 20’s when I taught myself how to do each yoga posture with a little book written by Richard Hittleman.

Vaginal Yeast Infections: A Holistic Take

Written by Tara Carpenter, NC.

Vaginal yeast infections are often the result of a type of micro-flora called Candida albicans that have grown out of control. This type of flora typically lives in harmony with other types of flora in the digestive tract; from the mouth down and out the genitals.

Problems occur when this delicate balance gets out of whack. When that happens, the Candida breed quickly and overtake the good flora living in the body; including the birth canal.
