More women are moving towards natural medicine. It's less expensive, and usually has less or no side effects on the body outside treating a particular condition. Homeopathic yeast infection treatments are no different. While there are several treatment creams which can be bought from your local drugstore, they're not the only way to get rid of yeast infection symptoms. In this article we're going to explore three alternative remedies you can probably find right in your own kitchen.
A word of caution about Homeopathic yeast infection treatments, often times these methods take 1-2 weeks for relief. So if you're looking for immediate relief another option might be better.
Garlic
Garlic is great for our bodies, heart, and cholesterol, and did you know it has antifungl properties to? Adding two or three cloves to your salads and meals each day will help to re balance your vagina, and reduce the growth of new yeast. Garlic can also be used to directly treat the infection by wrapping in cheese cloth and inserting into the vagina over night. If you go this route, be sure to continue the treatment for several days after the symptoms appear to be gone. This will ensure you don't have an immediate recurrence.
Cranberry Juice
We've heard a lot about the benefits of drinking cranberry juice for bladder infections, it also has benefits for getting rid of yeast infections. You need to ensure you're drinking just cranberry juice with no sugar added. Yeast thrive on sugar, and if you put more sugar in your system you'll hurt more then help. The acidity of the cranberry juice effects the secretions from the vagina, and makes it difficult for the yeast to multiply.
Yogurt
The right type of yogurt will fight the growth of yeast all day long, but you need to eat it every day. When you feel the symptoms of an infection coming on be sure to eat more then usual. If you don't normally eat yogurt and suffer from chronic infections I'd suggest starting to eat a little bit each day.
Beyond eating yogurt it can also be inserted directly into the vagina. One or Two tablespoons each day is enough to provide relief after several days. You can also make a light douche with yogurt to produce similar results. While the results might not be a big, you can get yogurt tablets from most health food stores. Taking one or two of these each day will help stop yeast infections from reoccurring.
Homeopathic yeast infection treatments are a very viable alternative to medications, and medicated creams. Of course as mentioned they do take a bit longer, but as long as the symptoms are not to severe, and you don't suffer from chronic yeast infections that shouldn't be a big problem.
Be sure to stick a treatment once you start unless you begin to experience side effects. It's possible to continue with a treatment for a week and almost see results but stop just a bit to early because you didn't think it was working. If you have questions or concerns about natural remedies for yeast infections be sure to always check with your doctor.
