Home Remedies For Yeast Infections - So Simple It's A Wonder So Many People Choose Not To Follow Them

By Kathleen Z. Stevens

Candida Albicans, known to cause yeast infection, will at one time or another cause a woman to become easily upset or annoyed due to the difficulty in urination and reddening. The fungus is normally found in the body.

Due to the vagina's increased level of acidity a yeast infection is normally staved off. The trigger for the infection is when certain factors allow for an explosive growth of the Candida Albicans fungus. With so many home remedies for yeast infections having been discovered in the twenty first century it is a shame that so many women have suffered with this affliction for so long.

Here are some of the items that cause a reduction in the vagina's acidity helping the fungus to proliferate:

Antibiotics - Taking these can disrupt the body's balance by killing off the good bacteria;

Menstruation;

Improperly treating diabetes;

A stressful life; and

Improper hygiene

Because of the embarrassment of candidiasis symptoms many patients prefer to treat themselves with yeast infections natural remedies than to consult their physician. Burning and itching, pain when urinating, a white discharge from the vagina vulva swelling and pain during sex are all signs of the infection.

Before we discuss remedies we should note the importance of practicing prevention; preventing yeast infection is so simple it is inexplicable that more folks do not practice the available methods.

1. Limit the amount of time you wear tight jeans.

2. After using the toilet, wipe from front to back and not the other way around.

3. Use light fitting panties instead of tight fitting.

4. Do not use deodorant scented tampons and pads.

5. Clothes made of cotton and other natural fibers are best to wear.

Here are remedies you can use at home to aid in the cure of a yeast infection.

We'll start with honey: use a favorable amount of the sweet nectar on the area affected by the infection and leave it for about 25-30 minutes. Rinse with warm water when completed.

Secondly is yogurt: Applied as a douche this is a very powerful treatment. Surprisingly it works. Use just before retiring for the evening.

The third one is tea tree oil and a tampon : Place a tea tree oil laden tampon into you canal. Leave it there until the next day.

Home remedies for yeast infections are very powerful solutions to eliminate infections. Changing your diet of sugar rich foods helps as well. Candida albicans love sugar and become more powerful when too much is consumed. Processed foods also contribute to yeast infection growth so increase the amount of non-processed foods consumed. Remember to take a multivitamin to help balance the body.
