Nobody likes a yeast infection; the itching, the burning, the inconvenience. Yeast infections are never fun to endure. Yeast infections are caused by fungus found on the skin, and other parts of the body. Women are most likely to have a yeast infection in the vaginal area. Men can also get yeast infection in the genital area. One thing you should always adhere to is to make it a point of duty to first go for solutions that are natural before considering those which are not. In this article we will look at some natural yeast infection cures which are easily accessible, are cheap, and yet retain their efficacy. 1. Apple cider vinegar, renowned for its antibacterial and antifungal properties, can too provide relief from the painful symptoms of yeast infection. Women can douche the vaginal area with a solution, prepared by mixing one or two tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with about a liter of water. This remedy can be used daily for a few days, but not for more than a week. 2. Try garlic vaginal suppositories by peeling a clove garlic and wrapping a piece of gauze around the garlic. The thin type of gauze is best to use for this process. Fold the gauze in half to form what would look like a tampon. Insert the garlic, vaginal suppository inside the vaginal area. Remove the suppository every 3 or 5 hours and insert a new one. Repeat the process for about 3 to 5 days or until the infection is gone. 3. Using a herbal douche is very effective because it can be directly applied to the infected area which shortens the duration of the infection. A great recipe for this is the combination of equal amounts of raspberry, comfrey, and sage with about a quarter part of goldenseal. You may also combine these with cider vinegar for maximum potency. 4. Topical application of diluted tea tree oil can help to kill the candida albicans. However, be sure to not use undiluted or full strength tea tree oil on the skin and the vaginal area. Pregnant women should better avoid the use of tea tree oil during this period. Like tea tree oil, diluted oregano oil can too prevent the growth of fungus and yeast. 5. Best way to cure a yeast infection is to change your life style. Start eating healthy foods, more vegitables and fruits. Avoid sugar whenever you can. Don't eat processed food. It might take some time but your body will eventually regain the balance and the nasty symptoms are going to go away. Author is an online medical researcher on yeast infections treatment.
