Easy Ways To Treat Your Worst Yeast Infection Symptoms
For many women, yeast infections are an unavoidable part of life. While they are only an over growth of the yeast that is found naturally in the body they are uncomfortable, irritating and can be embarrassing to treat. For these reasons we felt that we should let you know how they are caused as well as how to treat them naturally. Yeast infections can be caused by taking prescription antibiotics, wearing wet or damp bathing suits, panties that are not made of a breathable material or even if your clothing is too tight. Here are a few of our favorite ways to treat yeast infections at home and in the most natural way we could find.
Tea tree oil- Tea tree oil can be found in pharmacies and grocery stores. For women the ideal way to use this is to apply it undiluted to a tampon and insert it into the vagina.
Natural yogurt- You can add some to the end of a tampon and insert into the vagina. This can also be used for treating irritations of the skin around the affected area as well.
Lemon Juice- Lemon juice is highly acidic. This makes it ideal to use as a wash that is mixed half and half with water and applied to the area, or it can be poured into your bath water.
Garlic- externally you can either rub peeled or crushed garlic on to the affected area. Or if you would rather use this internally you could peal it and wrap it in gauze and insert it into the vagina.
Cranberry juice- By far the easiest way to restore the vagina’s natural pH level is to enjoy 2 glasses of cranberry juice every day. Long term, this is a great way to maintain a healthy balance of yeast. Any time you plan on beginning a new treatment plan for an illness, be sure that you have had a formal diagnosis from your doctor. This is critical as there are many different illnesses that can present with virtually the same symptoms, however if these illnesses are left untreated they can become very severe.
