According to the US federal agency Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is estimated that one in every three women suffers from yeast infection (candida) at least once in their lifetime. The following list will provide all the necessary information of how to cure a yeast infection naturally. However, these may not be effective for all the different types of yeast infections. It is necessary to ask for expert advice before starting off with any kinds of treatments. Garlic is considered as the biggest enemy of yeast due to its anti-fungal properties and hence, it makes one of the most effective remedy for yeast infection. You can simply rub a clove of garlic over the affected area or also take 1-2 cloves internally. As recommended in the 12-hour yeast infection cure booklet, dip a tampon in plain, refrigerated yogurt. Place the tampon into your vagina using your fingertips and leave the tampon inserted for several hours before removing. Repeat the yogurt tampon insertion three times over the next 12 hours. Eat 2 cups of plain yogurt over the next 12 hours and drink plenty of water to flush out the toxins in your body. Yogurt contains active cultures that will act to counteract the yeast production in the vagina. Making some dietary changes, keeping the area dry and clean are also important. You will want to avoid sugary foods and foods containing yeast. This is especially important if you have oral thrush (candida infection in mouth)! *you of course can't keep your mouth dry, so eliminating sugar and yeast is very important Oil of oregano can be used topically for home remedies to cure yeast infections and itches or infections of the skin, gums, teeth, and just about any orifice in the body. Exercise care if you use it in the genital region, where it is best mixed with olive oil or coconut oil before application (1 drop per teaspoon of olive oil or coconut oil/butter). Apple cider vinegar is also known to have anti-bacterial as well as anti-fungal properties. You can add a cup of apple cider vinegar in your bath and have a bath in it regularly. It is not recommended to apply the apple cider vinegar directly on the affected area. For children with croup or respiratory tract infections, any dose is safe, but I would start by using 1 drop mixed with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil placed under the tongue. If your child feels okay with taking it full strength under the tongue, you don't have to add olive oil. If the taste is too strong, increase the olive oil and/or add some honey to make it more palatable. Gradually increase the oregano oil dose to 2 drops 4 times daily. You can also add a few drops of the oil to the vaporizer, hot soups, and salads. Experts recommend that you take between 8-10 glasses of water per day. But you should take more if you can so as to urinate more often during the day thereby flushing your body system of bad bacterias that will increase yeast infections.
