Steps To Eliminating A Vaginal Yeast Infection
Naturally.
Although
they can be quite embarrassing, vaginal yeast infections are extremely
common. Around 75 percent of women experience one at some point in
their lifetime and 50 percent will have more than one. A vaginal yeast
infection is caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans, which is a
fungus that lives in your body. Here are seven tips and steps to help
you eliminate your infection naturally.
1.
Consume Yogurt
Yogurt
contains helpful bacteria that work to destroy yeast. Eating yogurt can
help you fight off the infection because of the live cultures,
acidophilus and bifidus. You can also benefit from applying the yogurt
topically. All you have to do is insert some of the yogurt into the
vagina using a finger or plastic tampon applicator. Make sure you only
use plain yogurt with active cultures.
2.
Lactobacillus/acidophilus supplements
The
next step to help you eliminate a vaginal yeast infection is to take
lactobacillus and acidophilus supplements. Seek a physician’s
advice when pursuing this method and take the supplements according to
the directions given to you.
3.
Vinegar and water
Another
technique to try out is douching with a solution of 1 to 3 tablespoons
of vinegar in a quart of water. You can do this once a day as soon as
you begin to see the symptoms appear in the vaginal area. If you
continue to see the symptoms after a week has passed, discontinue and
talk to a physician.
4.
Decrease foods with sugar
Few
people do not enjoy sugar, but unfortunately it can play a major
contributor with bringing on a yeast infection. Sugar does promote
yeast growth and by decreasing or eliminating sugary foods, you can
potentially get rid of the infection.
5.
Gentian violet
Gentian
violet is a traditional remedy that is used to treat several different
infections including a yeast infection. You can find this remedy at
your local pharmacy for a reasonable price. When treating the area,
swab the area once or twice a day using a thick pad as it tends to
stain everything.
6.
Garlic clove
Garlic
contains a natural anti-fungal agent that is perfect for treating
vaginal yeast infection. By using a garlic clove as a suppository, peel
the fresh clove and wrap it in gauze. You can then insert it into the
vagina and let the rest do its work.
7.
Herbal douche
The
last technique is to use an herbal douche. You can combine equal
amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with ¼ part
goldenseal. In addition, you can also combine this with cider vinegar
for the best results.
