Yoghurt, A Natural Cure For Yeast Infection

When you think of a natural cure for yeast infections

, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

Yoghurt.

Yoghurt cures for yeast infections have been around for many many years and often thought of as an "old wives tale". The fact is, it WORKS and has been proven in research trials.

Yeast infections are known as Candida and they can develop in both men and women. Common areas to find Candida are around dentures, under the breasts, the lower abdomen, around your nails, within folds of skin and the vagina.

There are many advantages in using yoghurt over traditional drug based medications. It is a milder treatment with no side effects, it is inexpensive and readily available.

You can not just go to your local supermarket and buy just any yoghurt off the shelf, the latest fad flavour may taste great but it will not cure your yeast infection! In fact the sugar contained in these types of yoghurt will feed the yeast infection and make it worse.

Look for natural yoghurt, this contains the bacteria lactobacillcus acidophilus which actively kills the yeast causing you problems. This bacteria is found naturally in our bodies in the small intestine and vagina and is often sold as a probiotic supliment.

Eating natural yoghurt on a regular basis is an effective way to treat and prevent yeast infections. For best results in curing your infection, natural yoghurt should be eaten and applied directly to the affected area.

An easy way to insert yoghurt into the vagina is to put the yoghurt into a tampon applicator and freeze it. Once frozen, inset as you would a tampon. The coolness of the yoghurt helps relieve the immediate itching too.

It is common for people to get recurring bouts of yeast infection, treatment in these cases needs to be a systematic approach that not only kills the yeast but restores your natural body immune system balance.
