subject: The Most Effective Way To Treat Yeast Infection [print this page] Fungal creams and medications are the most common ways to treat yeast infections today. Although they may give the sufferer relief from the infection, the relief is most of the time temporary and there may also be major side effects related to the use of those medications.
There are other ways to keep the yeast fungus from multiplying rapidly. Yoghurt is a good natural remedy that reinstates good bacteria in your body and helps to keep yeast fungus at minimum levels. It is important to take plain natural and unsweetened yoghurt in your diet.
Drinking probiotic beverage is an effective way to prevent any yeast infection inside our body. These kind of beverages helps in balancing the pH of the body so that the natural candida albicans in the body will not go haywire and become infectious.
Some women choose to douche with a solution made up of a pint (500ml) of distilled water and a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. This solution can also be used to soothe the external areas affected by the infection. The douche may be repeated if the infection is advanced.
You can also boil the infecting yeast away. You can boil your underpants or soak them in bleach for 24 hours before using again to kill the infecting yeast. Wash with fragrance-free soap before wearing.
Yogurt with active acidophilus bacteria is one of the best ways to cure a yeast infection naturally. Yogurt can aid in curing yeast infection either through consuming it or through applying it on the affected area. It is important to remember though that the yogurt should have active acidophilus bacteria for it to be effective. Another reminder is that the yogurt must be unsweetened. Yogurt with sugar may have the opposite effect since sugar can feed yeast.
Apple cider vinegar is one of the most effective ways to deal with this problem. You can include it in your diet as well as make use of it as an external medicine. But never use it on the skin directly as it can burn very badly. It needs to be diluted before usage, so the best way to go about it is to add about a cup of vinegar to your bath water and take a relaxing bath.
