The following tips will mean that you don't have to endure the pain of over the counter or prescribed medication. I'm guessing you could do without the side effects:
Garlic is another substance that can be a very potent treatment for infections of this kind. You can choose to insert a garlic tab into your vagina as needed. Just make sure that the ingredients of the garlic tab are all pure and natural. Another option is for you to take garlic tabs internally. However, the most effective method for treating yeast infections and removing vaginal odor is to drink down a fresh clove of garlic with water. Do this if you don't mind the taste and smell of fresh garlic.
Apple cider vinegar is also an effective treatment option. Since this is a concentrated solution, it is not advisable to be applied directly on the affected area. You can mix 1 cup of this solution in your bathwater and immerse yourself in it for several minutes.
As one of the most common natural remedies to cure any ailment - eat garlic. It seems this small bulb has some phenomenal healing powers. You can also crush garlic and mix it into a paste and apply it to the external areas of your vagina.
Yogurt: Unpasteurized plain (unsweetened) yogurt has been used for remedying yeast infections for many years. The good bacteria (L. Acidophilus) found in yogurt kills the excessive yeast bacterium, allowing the vaginal pH to return to normal. Yogurt may be applied topically, or some prefer to dip a tampon into the yogurt and then insert it into the vagina.
Cut down on sugar in your diet. Yeast may already be existing in your body but may not be causing you any symptoms of infection or annoyance but even if this is the case, do not feed them. Sugar from dried fruits, alcohol, sweets and many others are food for the yeast that allows them to grow rapidly. Cutting down on sugar and alcohol will not only be beneficial in avoiding yeast but also good in losing weight and having a healthier diet.
When you take antibiotics, they can weaken your immune system and destroy good bacteria. Most dietitians recommend that their patients stop taking antibiotics and cut back on the intake of dairy products that could contain antibiotics. Making your immune system stronger is an important factor in preventing yeast infections. Eating plenty of garlic can reduce the chance of recurrent yeast infections.
