You do not need studies to confirm that the general health of the average person is slowly declining to such an extent that most of us almost live on medicines and supplements. Yeast infection, as a natural fall out, has become a common phenomenon, especially among women, though not restricted to them. Although there are good medicines available, most of the infected persons prefer to use yeast infection home remedy, rather than antimycotics.
Candida yeast infection, whose medical name is candidiasis, generally manifests itself on the surface of the body, when our immune system becomes compromised or the probiotics in the body are killed. The probiotics are the good bacteria in our body which keeps the Candida yeast, which are always present in small numbers on the warm and moist surface of the body, under control and do not let them multiply.
Candidiasis generally manifest inside the mouth, in the armpit, under the breast, in the fold of the skin, in the genital area and even between the toes. Vaginal yeast infection is very common because this part of a women's body perpetually stays warm and moist. Vagititis or the vaginal yeast infection can effectively be treated with home remedies. However, it is important that you have it and other yeast infections diagnosed by the doctor before you start using any yeast infection home remedy.
Home remedies are much better than the antimycotics, because these are natural cures for yeast infection and have no side effects. These have been handed down for generations. Although no clinical studies have been carried out on most these natural home remedies, their continual use for generations is the proof of their effectiveness.
Of all the natural remedies, unsweetened yoghurt is said to be most effective. Make it a part of every day diet. Yoghurt contains probiotics, which kills the Candida. Make yoghurt at home to be sure that it is the pure variety. Making yoghurt at home is easy. You can use the curd maker. However, learn to make it the natural way. All you need to do is:
Buy a little commercial yoghurt. One tablespoon will be more than enough, for a medium bowl of yoghurt.
Spread it over the bowl in which you want to make the yoghurt.
Pour tepid warm milk over it.
Mix the milk with the yoghurt.
Set the bowl aside in room temperature until the yoghurt sets in.
Before using, keep away one tablespoonful for making yoghurt next time.
Having yoghurt before meals is a good way of supplying the body with necessary probiotics. However, yoghurt is good for external use too. Spread it on the affected area. In case of vaginal yeast infection, soak a tampon in the yoghurt and insert it in the vagina. Keep it that way for an hour at least. It will give instant relief. Remember to use unsweetened variety all the time. As yeasts thrive on sugar, the sweetened variety will make matter worse.
Natural cures for yeast infection can include:
yoghurt
garlic
cranberry juice
lemon juice
apple cider vinegar
oil of oregano
tea tree oil
However, just because these are yeast infection home remedy, you should not use them as you please. Some of them, like lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, tea tree oil should be diluted with water before using. Garlic should be crushed and made into a paste.
Garlic can be used as tablets too. In fact, most of the medication for yeast infection is made from these home remedies, which have been used for generations. Lasuna is one such medicine. It uses the goodness of garlic "to produce more natural killer cells in the blood that will tackle infections". Insert Shaklee's garlic tablets in the vagina for quick relief. You can also insert boric acid capsules into the vagina. Keep that for entire night for several nights. In some women, it may cause burning in the beginning.
Medication for yeast infection can be bought over the counters or on-line and of course, on prescriptions. They can be creams and lotions as well as oral drugs. Oral drugs are of course prescription drugs. However, very few people use those prescription drugs because most of them do not deal with the root cause. Their approach is more cosmetic and can only suppress the symptoms for few days only. On the other hand, homeopathic and herbal medicines can do wonder in this respect. Unless the medication for yeast infection can cure the base cause, the infection can never be cured permanently. Homeopathic and herbal drugs claim to do just that.
