Natural Yeast Infection Cure

Posted by Fergal Butler in General Issues

Yeah, when you get yeast infection, the first thing you do is try searching for something natural. Anything to avoid visiting your doctor and feeling embarrassed. It’s normal.

So let’s look at some of the natural cures for yeast infection you can use at home:

Boric Acid

You can get these capsules at local pharmacy. You just load them up into your vagina and when they melt, they release boric acid. This is known to treat even strongest infections.

Yoghurt

It contains lactobacillus acidophilus, which produces hydrogen peroxide – an antibacterial agent. This fights bacteria such as yeast very effectively. You simply put some yoghurt on your vagina and it soothes the whole situation. But make sure you get non-sugared yoghurt.

Tea Tree Oil

In some parts of the world it is known to be very effective in treating yeast infections. What you should do is lubricate a tampon and drop a few drops of this oils on it.

Garlic

What people do is simply put garlic tablets or squeeze it in some cloth and put it into vagina. Garlic is known fungus, yeast killer. After a few procedures your infection should be gone.

Cranberries

While these aren’t very effective in killing strong infections by itself, it’s a very useful supplement when used along with other medications.

These natural at home yeast infection cures are really good and are reported to help many people. However in some cases, infections are little more stubborn. And natural cures may not be enough. Of course it’s always best to familiarize yourself with the causes of yeast infection. It may be birth control pills or food and sugars. Especially if you’re diabetic.

One prescription cure often prescribed is called Diflucan. When reoccurring yeast infection occurs, this drug is able to cure it quite successfully. However doctors give it only in some periods of treatment, because bacteria may get used to it and it loses effectiveness.
