Some Helpful Information About Yeast Infections
Try A Natural Remedy For Yeast Infection



While a small number of yeast do not cause a noticeable problem to their human host, an overgrowth of yeast causes infection on and in different parts of the body; skin, vagina in females, armpits, between toes and so on. Medical science has contrived many remedies for treating yeast infection. But one can try a natural remedy for yeast infection if he or she feels like avoiding the side effects of allopathic medicine. Following are a few popular natural remedies for yeast infection in vagina and other body parts.

Yogurt Tampons

The yeast-killing bacteria acidophilus are found in yogurt and hence yogurt serves as an effective natural remedy for yeast infection of vagina. Yogurt is beneficial both when eaten and also when used for dipping a tampon in, which is to be used twice daily.

Garlic Tampons

Wrap a freshly peeled garlic clove into cheesecloth. Use un-waxed dental floss to tie the piece into the cloth to make a tampon. Use this for several hours and then remove. In case the infection is serious, use twice daily until the symptoms are relieved.

Tea Tree Oil Tampons

Take a lubricated tampon and put a few drops of tea tree oil on it. Insert into the vagina for treating yeast infection.

Fresh Garlic

Chop fresh garlic to make a paste. This serves as natural remedy for yeast infection of body parts other than vagina.

Boric Acid Capsules

Insertion of one to two boric acid capsules to be used overnight helps relieve symptoms of yeast infection.

Teabags

Place a wet teabag in the freezer and take out just when it is about to freeze. Dab it at the yeast-affected area to relieve the irritation.

Vinegar And Salt

Take a bath in lukewarm water after you have added half a cup vinegar and half cup of table salt to it. The itching caused by yeast infection will be relieved.

Grapefruit Seed Extract

Mix twenty drops of grapefruit seed extract into eight ounce of water. Douche the affected area with the mixture, which works as a natural remedy for yeast infection.

Cultured Buttermilk

Drink an eight-ounce glass of cultured buttermilk daily at night. You can hold you nose while drinking (if the cultures smell awful to you).

Olive Leaf And Grapefruit Seed

Take twice or three times a mixture of 15 drops of grapefruit seed extract in water (or juice, if you are tame before bitter taste) daily and the oil leaf extract twice daily. This combination is a useful natural remedy for yeast infection.

Recognizing Signs Of A Yeast Infection

The most common type of yeast infection occurs in women in the form of an overgrowth of the candida fungus in the vagina. The infection can be caused by taking steroids or antibiotics, wearing clothing that�s too tight in the crotch area, some bath products, and wearing damp underwear or swim suits in warm weather. The signs of a vaginal yeast infection include irritation, burning and itching in the vaginal area, and an odorous vaginal discharge. Candida yeast infections can be treated by anti-fungal pills, creams, or suppositories. Vaginal candida infections are not the only type of yeast infections; many men and women may not recognize the signs of other types of yeast infections.
