Yeast Infection Home Remedy
Experiencing a yeast infection can be an irritating, painful
experience. Home remedies can help you get rid of this type
of infection quickly and easily in many cases.
Of course,
if the yeast infection is persistent or does not respond
to home remedy treatment, it’s time to visit your
doctor or gynecologist.
Many of the home remedies for yeast infections have proven
themselves over the decades. Only in modern times were antibiotics,
ointments and creams available to treat this problem, but
women and men have been treating yeast infections using
home remedies throughout the centuries.
One home remedy that works for both men and women is a
30 minute bath in a tub of water containing one cup of sea
salt and one cup of apple cider vinegar. This creates an
acidic environment in the genital area, discouraging the
overgrowth of yeast. Fans of apple cider vinegar also swear
by adding two tablespoon of vinegar to one cup of water
and drinking this mixture twice per day during yeast infections.
Many women have experienced relief by inserting a yogurt-soaked
tampon at bedtime and leaving it overnight each night for
one week. The active cultures in the yogurt help create
a vaginal environment that welcomes good bacteria but proves
hostile to the overgrowth of yeast.
Apple cider vinegar and white vinegar douches are long
been popular as home remedies for vaginal yeast infections.
Simply mix one-quarter cup of vinegar with one quart of
water and use as a douche to create an acidic vaginal environment.
