Yeast infection is common to women especially in the vagina. Yeast mostly thrives in moist, warm and mucus lined areas of the body. A thick discharge usually occurs accompanied by a burning, itching sensation in the area. The infection may lead to pain during urination and sexual intercourse.
Natural medicine buffs claim that alternative cures for yeast infection are more effective than its drug counterparts. Yeast infection has this tendency to recur, and those infected who took alternative treatments said that the herbal and natural approach is better for the long term effects. It has no side effects and is much affordable too. Most of the drugs available only treat the symptoms, unlike easy to make home remedies, which have lasting effects. Prolong use of alternative homemade remedies will end up curing it.
Curing yeast infection is easy with the use of home-made remedies like garlic, vinegar and yogurt: nature’s prescription to treat the infection.
Garlic – women who are not allergic to garlic should try this proven method to kill yeast infection. Garlic is a strong anti fungal proprietor. Mince and make a paste out of garlic and apply on affected areas. Garlic-laced tampons may also be inserted inside the vagina.
Vinegar – apple cider in particular, is known for its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Pour one cup of vinegar in a tub filled with warm water, and soak the lower part of the body for 20 minutes. The vinegar may also be topically applied to the vagina.
Yogurt – contains lactobacillus acidophilus which is used to produce hydrogen peroxide, an antibacterial. The yogurt may be applied on the infected area.
