subject: Vaginal Yeast Infection - 4 Easy Tips For A Home Cure [print this page] Here are some remedies that might give you yeast infection relief but please be warned that they are not scientifically researched ideas,but they are a combination of things that have worked for myself and many other women too:
A yeast infection is a superficial condition and is not that serious. Truth: on the contrary a candida infection is a systemic problem, it can affect the whole body and it can be quite serious. With a weakened immune system, the myriad of symptoms that are manifested from this internal infection tells you just how dangerous it can be if it is not treated properly.
Never keep wet underwear or swimsuit for longer than what is necessary. Moist, damp conditions are ideal breeding ground for the infection causing yeast to multiply. Hence you must get out of damp clothes as quickly as possible. Shower and wash as above.
Common vaginal yeast infection cure includes those available in the small pharmacies and local drugstores near you such as the Monistat cream, Femstat, Mycostatin and Gyne-Lotrimin. These mentioned creams are actually the popularly known brands in the field of yeast infections. Application runs from one to about seven days.
This is natures natural antibiotic wonder. I have found this to give quick almost instant relief. Try inserting a garlic capsule (an all natural type) or a whole peeled clove up the vagina. Do this until you notice relief. I buy Shaklee garlic tablets and use those just because I know that they are pure.
To maintain the proper pH level of your vagina, use acidic liquids such as apple cider vinegar combined with a little water as your intimate wash. You can mix it with crushed garlic to improve its antibacterial properties. In addition to the natural remedies for yeast infection during pregnancy, the patient should also watch out their diet because during this period of time, they will face higher risks of diabetes as well. Moreover, yeast need sugar to stay alive. One of the ways to eliminate the symptoms is to have a drastic cut in the sugar consumption.
Tea tree oil is a natural yeast infection treatment. It can be directly applied to the affected area where there is yeast infection. It is very important to dilute the pure tea tree oil before directly applying it to the affected area. A compound of tea tree oil, terpinem-4-ol is thought to be responsible for tea tree oil's healing effect.
