Natural Cures for Yeast Infection Problems

Anyone who has had a yeast infection will tell you that it is imperative that they get some form of relief quickly.

A yeast infection causes burning and itching and it is just this sort of pain that can drive you wild if left untreated for too long.

Over time, many over the counter remedies have been developed but people who get regular infections often turn to something more natural in an effort to find a long lasting cure instead of a quick fix. These home remedies can bring relief just as quickly as the over the counter versions but usually at a much lower cost.

As with all other medical conditions, prevention is always better than cure and so the first tip is to make sure you are following a sensible eating program and also that you maintain good levels of hygiene for your body.

You need to ensure that you eat the recommended quantities of fruit and vegetables and follow a balanced diet including wholegrains but limit your intake of refined foods, sugar and processed carbohydrates.

In addition, a daily helping of natural, active yoghurt helps to maintain the levels of good bacteria in your body which help to keep conditions like yeast infections in check.


Good personal hygiene is essential to controlling infections in general and you need to make sure that you regularly wash and dry the common areas where you see yeast infection develop such as in and around the crotch and under the armpits.

In addition, make sure that you do not wear clothing that is too tight or restrictive. Your skin needs to breathe and some form of air circulation is essential in preventing a yeast infection from developing.

When it comes to treating the actual symptoms, there are a number of 'home made' cures that work well also.

In addition to ingesting natural yoghurt you could also try applying it directly to the affected area. It is claimed that this achieves two ends, a cooling effect on irritated skin and also application of good bacteria exactly where they are required to help control the yeast.

Alternatively, apple cider vinegar applied directly to the affected area is also supposed to help relieve the itching.


Finally, it is also reported that drinking a solution of olive leaf and grapefruit seed extract mixed in water is a good alternative cure.

As always, it is essential that you first consult your doctor before embarking on any course of treatment especially natural cures for yeast infection problems as these may affect your health in other ways.
