Some of the most common conditions are faced with are yeast infections because they can form so easily with moist conditions, poor diet, and sexual activity. Luckily yeast infections are easy to treat but if you tend to have several a year you may get sick of seeing the doctor or getting medicine to take care of the problem. There are some at home remedies you can try to take care of the infection as well as prevent another one from forming in the first place. These are all easy and cheap involving things you likely already have around the house.
What you’re eating Believe it or not what you eat can have some effect on your yeast problem. If you’re not each enough foods that fight yeast production you may be opening yourself up to a recurrent condition. Also some of these foods can be used directly on the skin providing more immediate relief.
Plain yogurt It’s a regular superfood with all the vitamins in it along with calcium. Plus it’s low fat and low in calories. But that’s not all. It contains a bacteria called Lactobacillus acidophillus that is responsible for fighting yeast and killing it. Eating yogurt regularly can help you stop yeast in its tracks.
Crushed garlic Vampires and yeast are both afraid of garlic because it fights of yeast production. Put it on a tampon and insert it into the vagina and you have a direct treatment. It will sting a bit but it will also kill the yeast.
Cranberry cocktail Its natural acid cleanses the body and helps push out any foreign bacteria or products like yeast thus protecting against infection.
Tea tree oil Just like the garlic add it to tampon and put in for direct treatment. The oil has a soothing quality that will help aid inflammation, redness, itching and swelling.
Apple cider vinegar Don’t drink this one or apply it directly to the area, it’s just too strong. Take a warm bath and add a bottle of apple cider vinegar to it then soak. Like the tea tree oil it will soothe as well as cleanse the vagina.
Increase your water intake Drink more water. It will push out the bad things in your system and clear out your body.
Dress in cotton undies Cotton underwear or no underwear at all provides a breathable environment and doesn’t allow yeast to overproduce.
