Yeast Infection Cure

Many women and men treat their yeast infections with over the counter drugs or prescriptions from the doctor.  These usually do take away the symptoms of the condition.  But they do not seem to affect a cure.  Only changing the reasons yeast thrived in the first place and instituting preventative measures, can you achieve a yeast infection cure through the whole system.  And then there will be no recurring symptoms.

Treating with antibiotics is a definite no-no.  Antibiotics kill all bacteria, even the good ones that normally keep the candida cells in control.  Without those organisms, such as lactobacillus, the yeast thrive and your yeast infection becomes worse.

Also, candida albicans, the yeast that causes yeast infections, can become resistant to the antimycotic or antifungal drugs that are used medically to treat the symptoms.

If you treat the symptoms with natural remedies you will still get rid of the symptoms, and you will also pave the way for a healthier body that does not allow the candida to grow. 

 It is worth spending a few dollars to take the help of a professional who knows what works and what doesn’t.  Linda Allen is our choice for that expert advice.  As well as being a certified health counsellor and nutritionist, Linda herself was a chronic yeast infection sufferer.  Her yeast infection cure has cured thousands of people, including herself.  Her book is Yeast Infection No More, which you can download today.  It’s very comprehensive – the only book you need buy on the subject.
 
Here are some yeast infection home remedies that have worked for me:

Plain yogurt
Yogurt containing probiotics such as lactobacillus can be used both internally and externally.  It is very soothing on the skin and can also be placed inside the vagina.  The probiotics keep the numbers of candida down.

Be sure you get plain yogurt which has not been heated either during or after manufacture.  Organic and biodynamic yogurt should both be good, but read the labels.  Of course, you can also make your own.

Eat the yogurt before meals because the friendly bacteria aid digestion.  Also use it on skin yeast infections, including nappy rash and penile yeast infection.  Let it sit in the mouth before swallowing, if you have thrush. 

Place outside or inside the vagina.  It’s a good idea to remove the yogurt after an hour or two so that it doesn’t sit after it’s done its job, creating more moisture for candida growth.

Garlic
Garlic is an excellent yeast infection cure! You can use either fresh raw garlic or an excellent garlic capsule or liquid.

Take it internally or use externally.  You can take a capsule, or press a whole peeled clove and quickly swallow it with water.  A peeled garlic clove or a garlic capsule can be put inside the vagina every few hours or as needed.  This can give instant relief.

Pure organic apple cider vinegar
Apple cider vinegar can be used both internally and externally.  However, it is very strong, so it needs to be diluted.  Even so, it can sting on the skin.  A relaxing way to get relief is to put a cup of apple cider vinegar in the bath water and take a hot bath.  It will give you relief and also kill the yeast.

Never use plain white vinegar.  This actually feeds the yeast!

Water
We all know these days that it’s important to drink plenty of water.  In the case of a yeast infection cure, drinking plenty of water will flush out the toxins and sugars and help create a clean environment in which yeast will not over-grow.

Make sure you only drink good filtered water so as not to add chemicals and organisms to your body.

Oregano oil
This herb is very potent against yeast.  Take it internally. 

Beneficial bacteria supplement
Find a source of high quality, live probiotics.  These probiotics re-colonise the colon, and keep the candida in balance.  It’s important that the probiotics are live, so look in the fridge in your health store.

Here are some things to avoid when fighting a yeast infection, as they create an imbalance in the body that causes the proliferation of yeast:

• Taking birth control pills and hormone therapy
• Taking antibiotics
• Douching 
• Feminine deodorants - these contain chemicals and fragrances.  They can be very irritating to anyone, especially those with yeast infections.
• Non-cotton underwear - any underwear made of man-made fibers is not as breathable as cotton. They trap moisture and heat, creating a perfect environment for yeast.
• Clothing that is tight in the crotch
• Staying in a wet bathing suit or damp workout clothes
• Pantyhose – are tight, man-made fiber that allows yeast to flourish.
• Foods that feed yeast - Avoid sugar, yeast, refined foods (such as white flour).
