subject: Yeast Infection Treatment At Home - Remedies To Cure Candida Naturally [print this page] Sufferers are increasingly using natural home remedies for yeast infection. Mainstream yeast infection treatment, using things like creams and pessaries, are drug-based, which although they can get rid of the symptoms, don't address the root causes of yeast infection (Candida). But there are many home remedy treatments you can use. However, some work better for some people than others. Here, you'll discover 3 that are proven to be effective for many sufferers.
Let's look at the root causes of your infection first, shall we? Although your symptoms are caused by the overgrowth of the Candida Albicans yeast-like fungi that we all have in our bodies, it takes something else to help trigger that overgrowth. The main triggers for this are; a low immune system, hormonal imbalance, friendly bacteria depletion, high blood sugar and some drug therapy.
The problem with over the counter and prescription drugs is that they only address the symptoms, not the root cause(s) above. Which is one of the reasons why around fifty percent of sufferers have more than one infection, and many of those have recurring infections, which can eventually seriously affect their health. So more and more victims are turning to yeast infection treatment at home using remedies that are totally natural. Here are 3 simple, but effective ones...
Home Remedy No. 1 - Natural Yogurt
Natural yogurt without sugar, coloring, fruit or any other additives, contains good bacteria that can fight the Candida Albicans. Eat every day and also apply to the local area showing the symptoms. You can also dip a tampon in the yogurt and leave in overnight, to beat the Candida fungi there.
Home Remedy No. 2 - Garlic
This has natural antifungal properties. Eat raw garlic daily. Or eat plenty of garlic in food that isn't too well cooked. Make a paste of raw, peeled garlic and coat over the local symptoms. Make a tampon by wrapping a peeled clove in muslin and leave in overnight.
Home Remedy No. 3 - Apple Cider Vinegar
In order for this treatment to work, it has to be raw, un-distilled, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar. Add 3 teaspoons to a large glass of water and drink a glass three times a day. You can also make a douche for the effected area by adding 2 tablespoons of cider to 2 quarts of warm water. Douche with cotton wool.
Many sufferers have had good results with these home remedies, so give them a try to see if they work for you. But, bear in mind, that there are still many issues that you need to get to grips with if you want to increase your chances of curing your yeast infection completely.
