subject: Using Apple-cider Vinegar To Treat Your Yeast Infection [print this page] I suppose nowadays most people, (well at least most people that suffer from yeast infections), are aware that their problem is caused by the overproduction of yeast in the body. Also that it is usually one of the many types of yeast we all live with that is the main culprit.
This particular yeast is known as candida albicans, and is the source of the majority of yeast infections, which cause so much discomfort and distress. The body has got out of balance, allowing the yeast to grow to the point where it becomes a real problem.
Now, how does apple-cider vinegar fit into this? It is made, as the name suggests, from apples, well, cider or apple must to be more precise. It generally has a medium to light browny colour, and is often sold unpasteurised and unfiltered. It can be purchased in pretty much any natural food store.
It has become increasingly popular in recent years as people are drawn to natural remedies for their ailments in preference to prescription chemical medications, which are often seen as harsh, and frequently with unwanted side effects.
Apple-cider vinegar has proved to be very effective in the treatment of yeast infections, especially candida albicans. It appears to get the body back into a state of natural balance, and keep it there. Thus providing an environment in which the yeast naturally present in most of us is kept in check, unable to grow to that critical point where problems occur.
To get the full and proper benefit of apple-cider vinegar it should be taken each day. Just a note here, there is also available a pill form of apple-cider vinegar. My advice would be to avoid this. Some users having reported burning of the throat when using them.
Use the natural liquid form. OK this can be a bit harsh on it's own, but it's fine to dilute it with water, and you can also add a little honey if it's still too strong for you. The actual amount of apple-cider vinegar only needs to be a spoonful. The key here is to be consistent and take it every day without fail.
There are additional benefits to apple-cider vinegar as well as curing your yeast infection. It seems to promote a general overall good health. People who have been taking it for years on a daily basis report results bordering on the miraculous. Hardly ever getting ill.
This very simple and inexpensive treatment is a must in your treatment of your yeast infection. When you take this advice and start to see the benefits It's likely that you will want to continue with it. In fact you really should, even when your candida is cured.
Recurrent yeast infections are a bane, and anything which helps to stop them must be welcome.
