Discover More About Candida Home Remedies

By Margarete Broudy


Having a yeast infection can be irritating and even painful. Over the counter treatments and prescription drugs can be used to treat the symptoms of this condition. However, many people choose to instead try yeast infection home remedies.

This condition is caused by many different things. One one of the leading causes is taking antibiotic medications. These medications kill all of the bacteria in your body, which also includes the good bacteria that you need to keep your body healthy. Without these good bacteria, this condition can become a problem. These infections can also be caused by other things like pregnancy, high blood sugar and illness.

Most cases of these infections are found in women, but men can also suffer with this infection. Areas of your body that are damp and warmer are prone to these infections. It is also commonly seen in babies because their diapers don't allow their skin to stay dry enough.

There are some good reasons that people use natural cures. Many of the prescription treatments have harmful side affects. They can also cost more than the natural cures.

Apple cider vinegar is a popular treatment for these kinds of infections. This product is all natural and contains many anti fungal properties. It also helps your digestion and skin. You can drink a couple of tablespoons a day. Most people find that it is hard to drink straight, so you can mix it with water or juice or even make a salad dressing with it.

Garlic is another potent treatment. It has been used in alternative medicine for a long time and has many anti fungal properties. You can eat the cloves whole, but many people find that the taste is too strong. You can use it in many recipes as well. If you are not a fan of garlic, you can take it in pill form so you do not have to taste it.

Yogurt is a popular option for treating this condition. Eating this food everyday can help treat and prevent this condition. This is because it contains many of the good natural bacteria that you body needs to fight off the yeast. Make sure that the yogurt you are eating contains the live culture or you will not get this benefit.

Yeast infection home remedies can be used instead of over the counter medications or prescription drugs. Check with your physician before starting any treatment program. There are some conditions that have similar symptoms so you will want to be sure you start treatment.
