subject: 10 Tips To Cure A Yeast Infection [print this page] In this article, I will highlight some remedies that have worked for me, as a woman. Most, if not all, of these can be adapted for a man, as well.
Most doctors say that we should drink at least eight 8-oz. glasses of water daily, but many people need even more than that. I have found that simply drinking enough water greatly reduces my likelihood for getting a yeast infection. Because I am drinking more water, and subsequently urinating more frequently, my body is able to flush out the sugars that feed the yeast.
There is a large number of home remedies for a yeast infection and some are more effective than others. If the first does not work for you try another and another as some people have to try a few before they get one that works for them. On the other hand there are some that may be just old wives tales some argue that yogurt is one of them. Just be safe about what you try.
Chamomilla is actually another name for German Chamomile. This treatment is an ideal homeopathic application for dealing with irritating diaper rash. What is nice about this product is that it can also subsequently treat teething pain in young children too.
This product can also be used to deal with some digestive issues, diarrhea, and bowel irregularity; in repairing bowel functioning and digestive issues, Chamomilla may also help in restoring balance to digestive micro flora, which in turn, helps to battle yeast overgrowth on an internal level.
Yeast infections are caused by a fungus, Candida. Tea tree oil is effective in fighting yeast infections because its a natural antifungal. You can use tea tree oil vaginally the same way you use yogurt. Soak a few drops into a tampon and insert it into the vagina. Applying this treatment morning and night for a few days typically clears up yeast infections.
It has been proven that changing your diet has helped a lot of people get rid of their yeast infections. You should avoid foods with high sugar contents, high yeast (high carb) diet they feed the yeast in your body, processed foods etc. You should focus and eat mostly natural foods like vegetables, fruits, grains, lean proteins, and plenty of sugar free yogurt.On the other hand, they should also stay away from starch containing as well as fermented foodstuffs. On the other hand, artificially processed foods should avoided as they contain salts and sugars.
