Home Remedies for Yeast Infection – Natural Candida Treatment

Do you feel itching and burning around your vagina? Is there a white, cottage cheese-like discharge? Do you experience pain during sexual intercourse or when urinating?

If your answer is yes to all of the above questions, then you might just have a yeast infection.

A yeast infection is caused by Candida albicans, a fungus. It is also commonly known as Candida. While yeasts are normally found in the body, an increase in these microorganisms causes an infection.

There are several factors that may have triggered your yeast infection and these include use of oral contraceptives, steroids, and antibiotics, diabetes, an irregular menstrual cycle, and pregnancy.

There are many ways to cure that bothersome infection and there are several home remedies for yeast infection that are just as effective as yeast infection medication.

Some effective home remedies you can try out involve tampons.

Twice daily, insert a tampon, covered with yogurt, in your vagina. Continue doing this until one day after your symptoms have cleared up.

Insert a tampon into your vagina. Pour a solution of 1 tbsp of potassium in 1 cup of water on the tampon; make sure the tampon absorbs the solution. Keep the tampon in there overnight, and continue doing this until your symptoms disappear.

Make your own tampon using a clove of garlic wrapped in cloth and tied together by dental floss. Insert this into your vagina and let it stay there for several hours. Repeat this process until one day after your symptoms have gone away.

If you´re pregnant or experiencing stronger symptoms, consult with your doctor before resorting to home remedies for yeast infection.

There are now also many natural yeast infection supplements on the market. These are made from natural herbs and minerals and so have less side effects compared to yeast infection medicine.
