Home remedies for a yeast infection is a great idea thousands of people have been cured through this manner of treatment. But why does this work so well? To answer this question we need to know how we got this infection in the first place. Every one has Yeast or also called Candida in the body and what keeps this in check is a healthy bacteria that balances it. But when we are sick or have an infection and we take an antibiotic, the antibiotic can distinguish between good bacteria and bad so it kills it all. The next thing that happens is we get an explosion of yeast over growth and we have a candida yeast infection. Clotrimazole creams and lotions can be applied to superficial skin infections. Other medications need a prescription. A visit to your doctor is always okay when a child is involved. For diaper rashes, frequent diaper changes and the use of barrier creams will speed recovery. Yogurt: No one would discount the benefits of yogurt. But make sure that it is PLAIN yogurt. No sugar, no flavor. And be sure that it contains lactobacillus acidophilus. There are several ways to benefit. Eat it, rub it on or insert it. Some women freeze it in a tampon applicator to make insertion easy. Make sure that you dry thoroughly when finished, as moisture is one of the biggest enemies of a yeast infection. Apple Cider Vinegar: Drinking it is for the brave! Dilute it and apply to the infected areas. Test first to make sure that it is weak enough not to burn. You may also put a cup full in a bath of warm water for soaking. Other homemade remedies for yeast infection are the tea tree oil, garlic, honey, boric acid. Tea tree oil should be dilute it with water or alive oil before applying. Boric acid is not recommend it to be used for open wounds, cuts or inside vagina as can be dangerous for your health. Also is not recommend it for pregnant women. Garlic must be used raw or as a paste on the affected areas. The garlic oil should not be used for treating yeast infection, especially undiluted Make your own tampon using a clove of garlic wrapped in cloth and tied together by dental floss. Insert this into your vagina and let it stay there for several hours. Repeat this process until one day after your symptoms have gone away. Currently there is no recommended dosage for tea tree oil; any dosage therefore may not be totally safe. Until a recommended dosage for this phytochemical is determined, any use of this substance is done at your own risk. Tea tree oil is commonly used as a treatment for external (i.e., not taken orally or inserted into any orifice of the body) conditions such as warts caused by HPV. If you desire to take tea tree oil internally please consult a naturalist or medical professional before proceeding The man also needs to have other illnesses ruled out before they consider home remedies for yeast infection. Some other remedies include the application of yogurt on the affected area. Yogurt contains lactobacillus acidophilus which is a good bacteria that checks the population of yeast in the body. Other remedies that have anti fungal properties include garlic, tea tree oil, honey, vinegar and the list is endless Eating garlic on a daily basis together with the external application of garlic (insert chopped garlic into a cheesecloth and put this into the vagina for about 120 minutes). The characteristics of garlic make it an effective probiotic, antiseptic agent, acting against bacteria and fungi, which brings Candida back down to limited numbers and assists beneficial bacteria in getting back into action. The best way to treat yeast infections is to get at the root cause of the yeast overgrowth rather than to just treat the annoying symptoms; of course, that is what the pharmaceutical remedies do, and it is not surprising that many folks have recurrent infections. The best home remedy for a yeast infection is available and you can learn more and become yeast-free by following the advice in some of the medical researchers' books on the subject. |
