Cure Candida Yeast Infection
A Candida yeast infection is also known as Candidiasis. Candidiasis is an infection caused by microscopic yeast or fungi. Candida yeast infections typically occur in warm moist areas of the body, for women, they usually occur in the vagina. Most Candida yeast infections can be treated at home with prescription medication, over the counter medication, or a number of non-medical, more natural treatments.
Instructions
1. Purchase an over the counter yeast infection treatment such as Monistat or Gyne-Lotrimin. Follow package directions for treatment. Depending on which one you purchase, you need to insert a cream into your vagina at bedtime, using an applicator, for either three or seven nights.
2. Insert unpasteurized, plain yogurt into your vagina at bedtime. Use a spoon or a vaginal cream applicator to insert the yogurt. Wear a sanitary pad to bed. Repeat the insertion of the yogurt at bedtime for three to seven nights, until symptoms of the infection are gone. You can also speed up the process by eating a lot of yogurt. Whether eating or inserting the yogurt, be sure to choose a yogurt that says on the package that it contains active cultures.
3. Peel a single clove of garlic and wrap it in gauze. Insert the garlic into your vagina and leave it in place for 12 hours. Repeat the procedure as many times as necessary until the infection is cleared. Eating a diet that is high in garlic also helps to clear a yeast infection.
4. Buy some Potassium Sorbate. This is used when making beer at home and is available at wine making stores. Mix 15 grams of Potassium Sorbate into one pint of water. Dip a tampon into the solution and insert it into your vagina at bedtime. Remove the tampon in the morning. Repeat for up to seven nights, or until the infection is gone.
5. Take Acidophilus. Acidophilus is present in some yogurts, but it also sold in health food stores in capsule form. Follow package directions when taking it in capsules.
6. Mix 1 tbsp. of vinegar into 1 qt. of water. Douche with the vinegar and water solution once a day for the duration of the yeast infection.
7. See your doctor if your infection has not cleared in 7 days. He can take a "wet mount" and check your vaginal secretions under a microscope to be sure that the infection you have is a Candida yeast infection and not some other type of infection.
