Natural and Fast Ways to Treat a Yeast Infection

By on Monday, June 20th, 2011 | No Comments

There are several reasons why people decide to treat themselves with natural rather than medical options. First of all some are just as effective and when treating a yeast infection naturally and quickly you avoid side effects that come with medications. As well as this being a safe alternative you can save yourself some money too, as you may even already have a natural yeast infection treatment in your kitchen. Here are four tips on treating a yeast infection naturally and quickly, two tips on how to make treatment more effective and two tips on actual natural treatments you can try.

Diet. There are foods that you may be eating that are making your problem worse and making any treatment you try ineffective or longer to work. Foods that have sugar such as cakes, sweets, soda, cookies should be cut out as sugar is a source of food for candida. Also cut out refined foods like white bread, alcohol, processed and junk foods. Eat more whole grains, drink lots of water and eat more vegetables and fruit. This does not have to be a permanent change, you can reintroduce some of these foods into your diet when you are yeast free, but consider cutting back on them to avoid future problems, and because you will be more healthy overall!

Washing. It is important to keep the area clean for a faster healing process, but also to try and keep it as dry as possible too. When you wash use a mild unscented soap, and avoid products that contain chemicals which can make it worse. To keep dry during the day wear cotton underwear as it does not trap in the damp as synthetic materials do. Loose fitted also helps by allowing air in and treating candida.

Treating a Yeast Infection Naturally and Quickly with Garlic. Garlic is one of nature’s most powerful anti-fungal items. In fact garlic can be used for many different medicinal purposes as it has several healing properties and that is why it has been used for so long. It will help fight the fungus and can be inserted into the vagina wrapped in a gauze like material, peeled, or can be crushed and pasted into a thick creamy substance and applied directly to the outer area. If inserting inside yourself make sure you can retrieve it.

Vinegar. When talking about vinegar for fast working yeast infection treatments we mean apple cider vinegar. Often part of the problem with a yeast infection is the pH is out of balance, making the conditions more favourable for the candida. Vinegar will restore the pH of the vagina making it less hospitable for the yeast to thrive in. Run yourself a warm bath and add half a cup of apple cider vinegar and sit in it for at least 20 minutes. This will also help bring relief to the itching and burning symptoms.

I Really Hate Yeast Infections!

When I had my last yeast infection I decided was done with only treating the symptoms by using the countless over the counter products that are available. So I went to the doctor and I asked if there was anything else that I could do differently. His answer shocked me! He told about three different organic alternatives. I tried them and not only did they get rid of my yeast infection, but they actually cut the duration of the infection in half.

Organic Yogurt- This was a little surprising to me, but apparently yogurt has been known to cure yeast infections for years! My doctor said the of the three ways that you can use yogurt as a treatment that eating some everyday was the easiest to use and to prevent new infections! Otherwise you could take a tampon that is coated with yogurt and insert it into your vaginal if you are having any kind of internal problems. For irradiation that is on the vulva, spread some on your skin on and around the area.

For any kind of internal issues he recommended that I take a tampon and dip it into the yogurt then wear the tampon. He did mention that yeast can actually grow more quickly when it’s exposed to sugar.

Garlic- Right after my doctor mentioned this to me I suddenly remembered that I had read about using garlic to treat infections before. This is an excellent treatment option as garlic has many anti fungal properties that should help to treat the infection quickly. The ways that the doctor recommended that it be used are to mash some into a fine paste that is placed around the irritated area or you could wind a bit of gauze around it and place it inside of your vagina for a little while.

Honey- this is best used in its natural form. Try to find unpasteurized honey from local farmers markets or organic specialty Shoppe’s. This honey needs to be place right on top of the area that is affected by the infection.

At Last! I Found Relief For My Yeast Infections.

By on Sunday, October 17th, 2010 | No Comments

Do you have a problem with reoccurring yeast infections like I do? Well after dealing with these infections for the last few years I was able to determine that there were a few natural options that actually worked for me. We are going to discuss these in depth today as well as a few different things that you can do to help you to prevent other yeast infections from occurring.

Plain yogurt- Plain yogurt is great for treating yeast infections; this is because it is packed with plenty of live bacteria that are actually known as “good bacteria”. Yogurt is relatively easy to use and can be done in several ways. The first thing that I need to mention though is that the yogurt should always be sugar free and organic. This is very important as if there is sugar in the yogurt you will actually start to feed the yeast and potentially make the infection worse.

When the flare up of your infection is internal take a fresh tampon and place some of the yogurt on it, then insert it into your vagina and leave it in for about a half an hour. Just be sure that the yogurt that you are using is completely sugar and additive free. If not, don’t be surprised if your infection gets worse

Apple cider vinegar- I think that this is the easiest treatment to use. Apple cider vinegar can be a scrub or a soak. If you are using this as a scrub you will want to dilute it with 50% water and a soft wash rag on the area that is irritated. If you would like to have a bath with the vinegar, then pour a cup or so into hot water and relax while your infection is treated.

Tea tree oil-this powerful astringent can clear up infections in a matter of days! If you need an internal treatment then you will use the tampon method just like it’s listed above. Just be aware that if you are having any external issues then you should be use very little of this on the outside as it could irritate your skin, if so just rinse with warm water.

Get Rid Of Your Infections Permanently!

By on Sunday, October 17th, 2010 | No Comments

How could I have known that I was spending too much money on medications that just suppressed the symptoms of my yeast infections? It wasn’t until I saw a new doctor that I found out that there are many all natural cures for yeast infections that nobody advertises. I can understand drug companies not wanting you to know about this but why wouldn’t a responsible doctor tell you?

After consulting with the doctor I was able to determine that I wanted to find an inexpensive option that was locally available. But it also had to work quickly and be inexpensive. So with all that being said I found two different options that have really worked for me. They were highly effective in treating my current infection and whenever I have had an infection since then the duration has been nearly cut in half.

First of all let’s discuss yogurt. Yogurt has been a favorite of women all around the world to treat their yeast infections for years. However you should know that any yogurt that is being used as a treatment for yeast should always be sugar free and should also be organic. If you have yogurt with sugar in it then you could accidently make your infection worse as yeast will grow very quickly if it’s exposed to sugar.

To use yogurt as a cure you could do one of three things. You could eat some everyday as a preventative measure and to restore the pH levels in your body. You could take a clean tampon and dip it into the yogurt prior to inserting it into the vagina, just leave it in for an hour or so they take it out. Or you could even just apply some to the vulva this will soothe the burning feeling.

The other remedy is apple cider vinegar. This is a strong natural astringent that is simple to use. You can create a wash that is 50% apple cider vinegar and 50% water, this should be put on a soft wash cloth and gently scrub the area. Otherwise it is recommended that you replace two cups of the vinegar in a very hot bath.

Too Many Of Us Have Suffered From Reoccurring Yeast Infections.

By on Sunday, October 17th, 2010 | No Comments

Many people are shocked to find out that prescription medications have been known to cause yeast infections; so why would you take a prescription to try to cure one? On top of that there are countless over the counter creams that will treat your symptoms but not really clear up the infection. This is part of the reason that I decided that it was time to find a readily available treatment that I could rely on using at home.

Cranberry: Cranberry helps to completely detoxify the body. The two ways that you can use cranberry are in a supplement that is a pill or it can be made into juice. If you are taking the pills you should know that it can turn you urine into a bright red color. That is completely normal. When drinking cranberry juice just have a few glasses and you will get the detoxifying benefits from it. It doesn’t matter how you take it, whether it is in pill form or if you are drinking the juice.

Yogurt- This is an easy treatment and it can be used in three different ways. First of all you should be eating some every day as it will help to get some of its good bacteria inside the vagina. Other ways that it can be used are to smooth some on to the vulva if you are having issues with sensitivity or burning feelings on the outside. If your pain and discomfort are on the inside then you could always dip a tampon into the yogurt and place it in your vagina for 30 minutes.

Garlic: Garlic is awesome for clearing up your yeast infections in a very short amount of time. One of the best parts about it is that you can use it just like you would the yogurt.

It could be eaten, made into a paste and rubbed into the sore area or it could even be loosely wrapped in gauze and placed inside of your vagina for relief.
