Candidiasis is caused by a group of microscopic fungi. There are actually twenty species of Candida. Contrary to what most people believe in, yeast infections do not only affect women because men and children can get it too. The infection can develop around dentures, nailbeds, mouth, lower abdomen, beneath skin folds, under the breast and vagina.
How to Treat Yeast Infection at Home:
Apple Cider Vinegar has a lot of health benefits and that includes killing the yeast. Yes, this has been a time-honored regimen that produces great results. Not just any apple cider vinegar though because if you do it the wrong way, you are doing more harm than good.
What you need is raw, unfiltered ACV. Why? Simply because it is rich in natural enzymes which effectively aid in digestion. These enzymes also help in restoring the natural balance of healthy bacteria by creating an ideal environment for those healthy bacteria to grow while keeping yeast like Candida in check.
The solution is very strong so you may not want to apply it directly on the skin or the affected area. I made a mistake once and I will forever regret that. The best way to use it externally is to add about a cup of ACV into your bathwater and dip in it for at least ten or fifteen minutes. This will feel soothing and will help relieve the itching.
Another way on how to treat yeast infection at home is by using garlic. Garlic contains antifungal and antibacterial agents making it effective in killing yeasts I know garlic doesn't sound too appealing especially if I'm going to tell you that you can apply it in the vaginal area to relieve symptoms of yeast infections.
Peel one clove of garlic and then wrap it in gauze. Insert it into the vagina and leave it there for up to twelve hours. Repeat until the symptoms get better. It will also help tremendously if you eat a lot of garlic while you are on a treatment.
You can also purchase garlic tablets and take them everyday or use them as suppositories to relieve itching. You have to make sure though that the ingredients are natural and pure.
If you are tired of dealing with recurring yeast infections, why not try a holistic system? This means that you get down to the root of the problem. It does not only deal with one aspect of yeast infection but it deals with the situation as a whole so you won't have to worry about it ever again.
