Natural Remedies for Yeast Infection
So you may have a vaginal yeast infection. There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
Vaginal yeast infections is a common occurrence. It’s caused by the build up of a fungus called Candida Albicans, which is normally found in small amounts in the vagina. The acidic environment in the vagina prevents yeast from growing. If the acidity of the vagina decreases, then too many yeast grow, causing vaginal infection.
The acidity of the vagina can be changed due to menstruation period, pregnancy, intake of antibiotics, steroids, diabetes, personal hygiene or birth control pills.
Overgrowth inflames the vagina and creates discharge, odour, irritation, and/or itching. Some of the most common symptoms of the infection are
1. Itching and burning feeling in the vagina
2. Burning sensation when urinating
3. Swelling around the vulva
4. Odorless vaginal discharge
5. Rash and soreness on outer surface of vagina
If you’re embarrassed to see your doctor, there are many traditional natural remedies that can prevent and help treat the yeast infection.
* Use only organic lubricants – non-organic lubricants may contribute to yeast growth, especially since some lubricants have glucose and other sugars as additives or flavorings, which cause the development of yeast infection.
* Don’t use latex condoms – The use of latex condoms as contraceptives also irritates the sensitive vagina and can aggravate cases of candidiasis.
* Aloe Vera gels when applied will give a quick and soothing relief to the intense itching and burning pain that can accompany candidiasis.
* Break open a vitamin E capsule and apply to the affected areas.
* Wear underwear made only from natural organic cotton fibres
* Regularly daubing apple cider vinegar in the areas prone to this infection. This would stop the growth of infection.
* Dip a cotton tampon in tea tree oil and insert it at night, removing in the morning. Repeat the process for 3 to 4 days. This will reduce the vaginal pain and inflammation.
* Prepare a solution by mixing 5 grams of Potassium Sorbate in a pint of water. Using a cotton tampon, insert it into the vagina and keep over night. Remove it in the morning.
* Prepare a mixture of olive leaf extract and grapefruit seed extract and add them to a glass of water. Use it to wash the affected area. This is an effective cure for treating yeast infection.
* Applying honey externally on the affected area will be helpful in treating yeast infection. Keep it on for 15 minutes and then wash the area with warm water.
* Cut a few garlic pods in small thin pieces and wrap them in cheesecloth. Insert into the vagina for about 20 minutes, leaving part of cheesecloth hanging out for easy removal.
* Fill the bathtub with warm water and add a cup of vinegar to it. Soak the affected area in this bath solution for about 20 minutes. This is an effective way to cure yeast infection.
