subject: Vaginal Yeast Infections - 3 Natural Remedies [print this page] Vaginal yeast infections are very annoying and sometimes painful. Before talking about natural remedies for this problem let us look at what can be done to prevent the infection in the first place. To prevent this annoying problem, avoid wearing tight jeans and other tight clothing. This causes an environment that can bring on the infection. Also avoid using products to clean the vagina or use them very infrequently. Sometimes these products can cause a yeast infection because they are very harsh to the natural environment inside the vagina. Some natural remedies for vaginal yeast infection include: 1. Use yogurt or curds to replace the unhealthy yeast bacteria with beneficial bacteria that the vagina needs. You can soak a tampon with curds or active yogurt and place on the vagina for about an hour. You can do this 2 to 3 times during the day if you are able. This is very effective and was used long before modern man made medicines. 2. By swabbing with apple cider vinegar using a cotton ball or clean cloth. By adding a little garlic from fresh garlic cloves the itch will disappear. Dilute the vinegar with water before applying as pure cider vinegar is probably too strong for most people. 3. Drink 2 to 3 glasses of buttermilk daily because it contains the beneficial bacteria needed to combat the infection. It is a good idea to drink some everyday even when no infection is present to prevent getting a new infection. Some more basic tips include drinking lots of water to help flush out toxins and excess sugar which can lead to an imbalance in internal body bacteria levels.
