Great Ideas To Alleviate Symptoms of Yeast Infections

There are many natural remedies that can be used to treat yeast infections I have listed the three that I have found to be effective.

Use a plain unsweetened yogurt. This can be used both internally and externally. Make sure that it is sugar free as yeast thrives on sugar. You can use both store bought or homemade yogurt.

Garlic is a great natural treatment for yeast infections because it is a natural enemy of yeast. All you need to do is insert a garlic clove or capsule every few hours as needed to alleviate your symptoms.

I found that different remedies work for different women. My favorite source is an ebook called Kill Your Yeast Infection. This book is loaded with tons of tips on how to cure your yeast infection naturally and safely.

You can use apple cider vinegar to help alleviate symptoms temporarily but I noticed that it doesn't always work as a permanent cure. The best way to use apple cider vinegar is to add about a cup to a bathwater.

One of the best tips that I have come across is to drink plenty of water. I have found that when I am properly hydrated I am at a much lower risk of yeast infections. It is recommended that everyone drink 8 glasses of water but some women need more. Like I said this and many other great ideas are in Kill Your Yeast Infection, so you should definitely check it out.

Treating Your Yeast Infection with Tea Trea Oil



Tea tree oil has long been renowned for its healing properties. It can also be used as a treatment to cure yeast infections. In order to prepare a treatment with tea tree oil you will need to pick up the oil from a health store. Many people get theirs from online shops.

You will also need to have a lubricant or Vaseline and an applicator tampon. To prepare the treatment you will need to push the tampon up enough to be able to coat the tampon with the lubricant. This is so that the tea tree oil doesn't get absorbed into the tampon.

You will then need to place several drops of the tea tree oil onto the tampon. Replace the tampon into the applicator and insert into the vagina.

This treatment method is usually best used for minor infections as in is a mild cure. If you have a more severe yeast infection you can also use yogurt. All you need to do is apply an ample amount of plain sugar free yogurt to the tampon along with the tea tree oil.

How to Treat Yeast Infections with Garlic



Garlic is a great way to treat your yeast infection, it is especially helpful in alleviating the itching. In order to treat the infection with garlic you will need a garlic glove, gauze, un-waxed floss, and a lubricant.

To prepare the treatment begin by peeling the garlic clove. Next wrap the clove in gauze and tie each end with the floss.

Finally lightly coat the gauze with a small amount of lubricant. The lubricant is used to make it easier to insert the gauze. It is important to make sure that you don't over lubricate, as this will make it harder for the garlic to penetrate it, making the treatment less effective.

You finish by simply inserting the treatment into your vagina. You can also put the garlic clove in alone; however, without the floss to pull out the treatment you are taking the risk of losing it in your vaginal canal.

If you have a more serious or reoccurring yeast infection you can combine the garlic treatment with yogurt by replacing the lubricant with the yogurt. This will make a stronger treatment for your yeast infection.

How to Treat Yeast Infections with Yogurt


Using yogurt is probably the most popular treatment of women using natural home cures. The reason for this is probably contributed to the fact that it is an easy treatment with effective results. To treat your yeast infection with yogurt you will need an unflavored, unsweetened, plain yogurt.

From there, there are a few methods for applying the treatment. Many women simply rub the yogurt on the infected area; however, in order to treat the infection from the inside you will need to find a way to coat the vaginal walls.

In order to treat the infection from the inside you can find a syringe from your local pharmacy that has a wide enough mouth to allow you to place the yogurt inside your vagina. You then fill the syringe and squirt it into the infected area.
One of the easiest ways to use yogurt to treat a yeast infection is to soak a tampon in yogurt for a few seconds. Then you insert the tampon into the vagina.

Another method that has become widely used is using a empty tampon applicator. This method has you fill the applicator with yogurt and then freeze it. After it is frozen you insert it. This can be cold girls, but many find that it is also soothing compared to the itching and soreness from the yeast infection.This method can also be used with disposable gloves. You simply fill the gloves and then use each finger as an application.

There are many ways to use yogurt as a form of treatment for yeast infections. The way you use it is entirely up to you; however, you should use the yogurt treatments for a minimum of 5-7 days for effective treatment.

Ways to Prevent Yeast Infections


Yeast infections thrive in damp dark areas so one of the best ways to avoid getting them often is to allow yourself to be well ventilated. One of the best ways to do this is to sleep naked. If you are uncomfortable with doing this then just make sure to take of your underwear.

You should avoid wearing clothes that are too tight or constrict air flow. This includes materials such as; plastic, polyester, and leather fabrics. You should also avoid too many layers. If you must wear layers remove them upon arriving home.

Lastly you should avoid using powders after showers and baths. Starch is a great way to make bacteria grow. Since most powders contain starch, using them can encourage yeast infections.

Prevent Reacurring Infections


There have been studies that show that washing your panties after a yeast infection may not kill the infection. In order to prevent a reoccurring infection there are a few natural tips you can follow.

  • Pre-wash the crotch of your panties before washing them. Use a non scented detergent but avoid fabric softeners as they can irritate your skin.
  • Boil your panties or soak them in bleach before wearing them. Make sure to wash them with an unscented soap prior to wearing them.
  • Iron your panties prior to wearing them. This will kill any leftover bacteria.
