At Home Treatments For A Yeast Infection
One of the most common medical conditions a women gets are yeast infections because the vagina can easily host overactive yeast due to sex, moist conditions and sometimes even a diet that doesn’t have enough yeast fighting agents in it.
If you get yeast infections a lot you are probably tired of going to the doctor’s office for a prescription medication.
Try these at home yeast infection remedies to kill the yeast production, cure your current infection and stop another one from developing. You can do these at any time from the privacy of your home and they’re inexpensive.
Try different foods
Food won’t cure a yeast infection once it’s started on its course but it can help prevent one in the earliest stages or prevent it from forming at all. Changing your diet can have a profound effect on your future health. Many foods can be put directly on the skin to treat the infection immediately.
Unflavored yogurt
Loaded with calcium, packed with vitamins and low in calories this is good for you no matter what. Plus the Lactobacillus acidophilus bacteria it contains actually attacks yeast production and kills it solving the problem.
Stop future yeast infections by increasing your yogurt consumption.
Garlic cloves
It stops people from kissing you and vampires from coming near as well as killing yeast production. It may sting but applying garlic directly on the infection with a tampon will kill the yeast and stop your itch.
Cranberry fruit
Clean out your colon, vagina and urinary tract with some cranberries whose acid seems to clear things out and help facilitate proper re-growth.
Use tea tree oil
Coat the end of a tampon with lubricant and add some tea tree oil over it.
Recover the tampon with the applicator and put into the vagina.
Take off the applicator and leave the tampon in so the tea tree oil can absorb into the vagina properly.
You’ll get some relief because the oil works to calm inflammation, redness, general soreness and swelling.
Bathe in apple cider vinegar
Prepare a warm bath and add a bottle of apple cider vinegar to it.
Relax for thirty minutes in the tub.
Since apple cider vinegar is quite strong it shouldn’t be applied directly to the sensitive skin of the vagina.
Consume more water
Nature’s remedy is always water. Water clears out the foreign bodies and helps the system circulate and work better.
Thus increase your water consumption. It may not be fun because it hurts when you pee, but do it.
Cotton underwear only
Dress in breathable underwear so you don’t promote yeast breeding with moist conditions, cotton underwear is best.
