I have been a long term sufferer of chronic yeast infections and I was tired of spending a fortune trying to treat them
. I was finally able to find a few organic treatments that actually took care of the infections and I found some preventive measures as well that were easy to implement and didn't cost me anything extra to use. Because my yeast infections are chronic, I had to make all of my changes in habit permanent ones.
In this article I will walk you through the different methods and uses for the natural remedies that I have found.
Garlic-This is a time tested method of treating yeast infections! The garlic has lots of anti fungal properties that will help you feel relief in no time at all. To use garlic you could crush a bit up and smooth it in the general area that hurts, you could eat it or you could even peel some, then wrap it in gauze and insert put it in your vagina for a little while.
Yogurt- this is used very similarly to garlic as you can use it both internally and externally. The important thing to remember with this is that the yogurt must be organic and completely sugar free to be acceptable for this use. When the yogurt is to be used internally; you will need to dip a tampon into it and wear the tampon for about 30 minutes or so. If you need soothing relief for the skin on the outer area of the vulva just rub some on. Otherwise it is always recommended that you eat several large servings every day.
Life style changes- this is perhaps one of the more challenging items that we are discussing as this will take continued vigilance to stay on top of. First you should be aware that wearing tight clothes can breed yeast. The same goes for wearing clothes that are made of non breathable material - make sure that your panties are lined with cotton and change out of your wet bathing suit ASAP.
