Dealing With Yeast Infections “The Natural Way”

Posted by Danielle Clement 1 November, 2009

Yeast infections are very contagious and therefore have to be treated quickly and effectively to avoid spreading it to your sexual partners. It is worth noting that men are not immune to this disease. Though it is more commonly associated with women, they can pass it on to their partners. If you are unaware of the symptoms they can include itching, pain, redness, pustules. You may generally feel unwell overall, experience some mood swings and restlessness. You can go to your local doctor or gynecologist but they are likely to prescribe medication that will take care of your symptoms but not the actual infection. While it may be a relief to stop itching you are still carrying the disease and can pass it on to others. There are some natural options you can take to help cure and prevent yeast infections.

First of all one option that is a natural remedy is taking an apple cider vinegar bath. Run your bath as usual but do not add any bubble bath or scented oils. Also try not to have the water too hot. Instead add a generous amount of apple cider vinegar to the water. Soak yourself in this mix for at least several minutes, then you can rinse off with a shower and wash using a soap that is non-medicated.

A second natural remedy for a yeast infection is looking at the pH balance of your body and drinking probiotic drinks as a means to prevent yeast infections. Probiotics help the candida albicans stay under control and stop them from becoming infectious.

Linked to this idea is the use of honey. Honey is a probiotic and as well as making a honey drink, it can also be applied directly to the area. Use a generous amount of honey and as well as balancing the pH level in that area it also helps ‘good’ bacteria grow that will work on the yeast and prevent infection.

A final piece of advice if you wish to avoid yeast infections (and who doesn’t!) Control your diet; keep it balanced especially looking at sugars and carbohydrates. They can cause imbalances that lead to mouth and vaginal yeast infections, if eaten too much.
