Treatments for Yeast Infection That Work Fast

By Vanessa Rodriguez


When searching for treatment for yeast infection, the best place to look is to natural remedies. These remedies are completely effective, quickly getting rid of the itching and burning, and are totally safe and natural. They are also much less expensive, using many ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. Some of the best methods for treating yeast infection using natural remedies are discussed below.

Many things commonly in diets can actually make yeast infections worse, and will make effective treatment difficult. Refined carbohydrates (including anything made with white flour, white rice, etc.), sweets, anything yeasted, and alcohol can all have a bad impact on the yeast infection. Eliminate them from your diet; you can slowly reintroduce them when the yeast infection goes. Eat plenty of whole grains, many fruit and vegetables in place of these foods, and drink plenty of water.

Next is hygiene. Ensure the infected area is always dry and clean. To clean the infected area, use a mild, unscented soap (don't use deodorants or perfumes). Wear comfortable, cotton underwear, as nylon underwear, or underwear that is too tight, may keep the area damp.

You've probably heard of it, or done it yourself, but garlic can be used in treating many infection. What you probably don't know is that it's a yeast killer! Place a fresh clove of raw garlic into a piece of cloth or gauze (with threads sewn into the ends for easy extraction) and put it in the vagina overnight.

Vinegar can also be used as treatment: it restores the pH balance of the vagina to 4.5. Make a bath and add half a cup of apple cider vinegar. Just sit in the bath and the mixture will clean you, and help soothe the burning and itching.

Discussed above are just a handful of natural remedies that can help deal with yeast infection, both in curing current infection and prevent future infection. These remedies are cheaper, safer and often faster than prescription medication.
