10 Cures For A
Yeast Infection
If
you are
suffering from yeast infection, chances are your doctor would prescribe
topical ointments or ingestible tablets from your local drugstore. But
these prescription drugs only aggravate this disease by helping spread
the yeast-like fungi Candida albicans. Listed below are the ten best
cures for yeast infection in the holistic style.
The first cure is prevention via proper hygiene. Yeast infection
spreads primarily through carelessness, whether by exposure to a
sufferer, to Candida albicans, or to chemicals which trigger yeast
infection. Hence, no lending of personal belongings, and dispose
expired products properly.
The second cure is living a healthy lifestyle. Minimize drinking
alcoholic beverages and tap water. Because stress is a trigger, set
aside time for relaxation and sleep.
But what if you did not know these preventive measures? The next cure,
then, is to avoid ingesting drugs of any kind. Antibiotics kill the
bacteria that monitor the growth of Candida albicans. Other medicines
to avoid include birth control medication, immuno-suppressants and
steroids.
One effective cure is a strictly regimented diet as determined by your
doctor. The standard Candida diet forbids affected individuals from
eating the following:
* Sugars, to the point that even fruit may not be allowed;
* Food with high yeast and mold content, like cheeses, dried fruit,
melons and peanuts;
* Milk, dairy products, and food with high lactose content (this means
that you cannot eat yogurt, but you can use it to alleviate the effects
of yeast infection in other ways).
This diet allows only the following:
* Water;
* Herbal teas;
* All vegetables;
* Sources of protein (meat is allowed, as are fish, poultry and
legumes, although soy and soy products are known to have side effects);
* Whole grains like millet, brown rice, and oatmeal without sugar;
* Probiotic supplements;
* If possible, apples, blueberries, cherries, other berries, and pears.
Reading
food labels is an absolute must for the cure to take effect.
Sticking to this diet even after the symptoms disappear not only boosts
immunity, but also curbs the Candida albicans population boom by
reintroducing friendly bacteria.
One way to relieve yeast infection is to apply natural antifungal
agents like garlic paste, extra-virgin coconut oil and diluted tea tree
oil directly on the skin. Grapeseed extract and tannins from tea and
condiments fight chronic infections excellently.
Women with vaginal yeast infection may find relief in a few drops of
diluted tea tree oil or a dollop of yogurt. Application should be done
at least twice a day through inserting a tampon with either oil or
yoghurt into the vagina. This remedy must be continued one day after
the symptoms disappear.
Ingesting licorice helps sufferers of endocrine yeast infection by
stimulating hormones without causing side effects. This sweet also can
counteract the estrogen loss endured by women with vaginal yeast
infection through the release of estrogen-like friendly steroids.
Another great cure is taking in electrolyte-heavy drinks. To make your
own, squeeze in half a lemon (full of essential minerals) in a glass of
filtered water, then add 1/4 teaspoon of Celtic sea salt (with 84
minerals). Drink it six times during the day, with three of those six
times during meals.
Cleansing your colon naturally washes out the toxins made by Candida
albicans and also makes the digestive system receptive to friendly
bacteria. Recipes may vary, but they usually involve a mixture of
garlic or garlic extract, cayenne peppers, apple cider or apple cider
vinegar, and the spicy oregano oil.
So there you have the ten best cures for yeast infection. Take note
that these are not the only cures available, but these are the ones
which have been proven to work time and again. Do your research, and
you may find one which works best for you. Good luck!
