subject: Natural Steps To Cure Yeast Infections For Good [print this page] Many believe that yeast infections happen only to women, but men too can contract this itchier-than-god fungus that is unrelenting enough to drive a sane person to the brink of insanity.
Diet: The most important step to take is to begin putting the right foods into your body. Candida yeast thrive in our modern poor diets high in sugar and refined carbs. Find a good Candida Diet Program and follow it.
Treat your partner. Yeast infections are not considered to be STDs, but if you have an infection, you can pass it to your partner during intercourse, who can later pass it back to you. It's like the adult version of tag. Youre it!
This product is among the best item that you can find in the kitchen. Not only is this cheap but easy to find as well. All that you have to do is dissolve ? tablespoon of baking soda in 1/8 cup of water. Rinse the affected area with the solution. Boric acid is also considered as a natural cure for yeast infection. However one needs to be extra cautious while using boric acid as it is toxic and can cause irritation and burning.
A garlic suppository can be made by peeling one clove, wrapping it in gauze, and inserting it into the vagina. Or you can insert potassium sorbate that has been diluted with water.
Suppositories can be inserted into the vaginal canal and deliver the powerful bacteria-killing compound to the candida yeast inside the vagina. According to Michigan State University, one of the most powerful yeast-killing natural suppositories is fresh, raw garlic, which is antimicrobial and powerful. To use garlic for a yeast infection, wrap one clove of peeled garlic in cheesecloth, and tie the end of it tightly with dental floss. Leave a tail of dental floss hanging so that you can pull the garlic out of the vagina in the same way you would a tampon.
Tea Tree Oil. In several studies, the oil from the tea tree, when diluted and applied to the vaginal region has proven very effective in killing off the fungus that causes yeast infections. Tree oil, however, should not be used in its concentrated form, as it can cause problems to the vaginal region.
Garlic is yeast's nemesis. For instant relief, you can insert one all-natural garlic tab or a garlic clove into the vagina every few hours or as needed for relief. Inserting a clove at bedtime and removing it in the morning works well. Sure, this sounds weird, but letting your yeast proliferate will lead to utter agony. You can also take your garlic internally, a tab or munch on some cloves. Yum.
