Treating Yeast Infections At Home
Women often get yeast infections because yeast can build up easily and multiply for many reasons such as sexual activity, excessive moisture in the vaginal area or even diet.
Frustrated by having to go to the pharmacy so often for medication to treat your recurrent yeast infections?
There are at home yeast infection treatments you can do to stop and kill the yeast infection as well prevent future episodes. You can do these at any time from the privacy of your home and they’re inexpensive.
Try different foods
Eating certain foods can help stop a yeast infection from starting in the first place or at least decrease your odds even if it won’t cure one later on. Changing your diet can have a profound effect on your future health. Use some of these foods to treat the infection topically and get immediate results.
Plain yogurt
Loaded with calcium, packed with vitamins and low in calories this is good for you no matter what. Lactobacillus acidophilus, a “good” bacteria is found in yogurt and fights off yeast production.
Stop future yeast infections by increasing your yogurt consumption.
Crushed garlic
Vampires and yeast are afraid of garlic because it stops both in their tracks. Neutralize your itch by applying some garlic to the end of a tampon and inserting into the infected area.
Cranberry juice
These berries are used for flushing out the colon, urinary tract and vagina because their acid is a powerful cleansing agent and helps clean and polish your insides.
Use tea tree oil
Get out that KY jelly and cover a tampon tip with it then coat in tea tree oil.
Recover the tampon with the applicator and put into the vagina.
Allow the tea tree oil to soak into the vaginal walls after pulling back the applicator.
Soothing the pain and discomfort, tea tree oil works to reduce inflammation, swelling, redness and soreness.
Take an apple cider vinegar bath
Prepare a warm bath and add a bottle of apple cider vinegar to it.
Sit in your bath for twenty to thirty minutes and soak.
Direct applying apple cider vinegar to the vagina isn’t good because the skin is extremely sensitive and the vinegar quite strong.
Up water intake
Water can cure a lot of things, honestly it can. Clear your system out and eliminate problems by drinking more water on a regular basis.
Thus increase your water consumption. It may not be fun because it hurts when you pee, but do it.
Dress in cotton undergarments
Dress in breathable underwear so you don’t promote yeast breeding with moist conditions, cotton underwear is best.
