Yeast is a fungus formally known as "Candida". Yeast exists in our bodies, it lingers everywhere especially in the vagina.
Symptoms of yeast infections consist of burning, itching, thick milky discharge, soreness, and painful sex. Some reasons why women get it are pregnancy and other hormonal changes in the body, being on birth operate pill, excessive sugar intake, taking antibiotics, wearing tight clothing, and douching. Women with pre-existing conditions like diabetes are also prone to this.
Over the counter creams and suppositories as well as prescriptions will treat it temporarily, however, continuing yeast infections needs to be addressed with dietary changes and restoring the natural balance in your body. Strong prescriptions can cause other side effects and may stop it for a duration of time but your yeast infection will ultimately come back.
If your infection is continuing and severe, then you may need to temporarily go on an ultimate yeast starvation diet. This is done by eliminating anyone with sugar such as alcohol, fruits and fruit juices, all starches along with grains like rice, beans and legumes and anyone with yeast in it like bread, and all refined foods. You are basically starving the yeast out of your system since yeast thrives on sugar. You are commonly on a yeast starvation diet for a duration of 10 days to 30 days. I go into details of candida diet and becoming free from this in an additional one article.
You may have to go on a candida diet if you have experienced continuing yeast infections for a long time and other treatments are not working for you.
For temporary and occasional vaginal yeast infections, the following home and natural remedies have known to supply immediate relief, reduction, and elimination. Try to do this when you first observation signs.
1. Garlic - you can take it externally or internally (insert into the vagina). When inserting into the vagina, you can cut it half and insert with a string before you go to bed and then take it out in the morning. You can eat a clove of garlic by dicing it small and then swallowing with a whole glass of water. Garlic in normal has so many therapeutic results as it kills bacteria and I use to take it even when I didn't have yeast infection. However, taking it for continued periods of time made my sweat smell authentically bad. It's great for short term. You can also take garlic in capsule form if you are not able to bear the taste of raw garlic.
2. Probiotic - If you have been on antibiotics, your balance between good and bad bacteria has been compromised. You will be more prone to yeast infections and should take a probiotic to replenish the good bacteria in your gut. This is why yogurt is great but yogurt is not a strong sufficient probiotic so you should buy a good probiotic supplement.
3. Oregano and tea tree oil - Both are anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and very effective in treating yeast infection. You can put 15 drops of the oil on a tampon and then leave it in for 2 hours.
