This article is for people who want to find more natural methods to treat a yeast infection rather than using antibiotics or other such conventional drugs or over the counter treatments. A yeast infection is caused when a fungus called Candida albicans is able to grow and multiply too much. This fungus lives on us naturally and usually does no harm because its growth is controlled by good bacteria. But when it multiplies it can lead to symptoms such as itching, pain, irritation and a vaginal discharge that is usually think and white in consistency.
An immune system that has already been compromised is one possible cause of a yeast infection. Antibiotics, birth control pills and hormonal imbalance (pregnancy, menopause) usually brings about this weakness. The number of good bacteria can be lowered by all these factors and these good bacteria are what control the yeast growth, so without them the result can be a yeast infection.
Therefore boosting the immune system is a good first step to take when treating a yeast infection naturally, as well as making sure the good bacteria in the vagina are replenished. Eat foods that have live cultured bacteria in them such as plain natural yogurt, or there are supplements that will also top up the good bacteria in the body. It is important not to use a yogurt that has sugar in it as the yeast feeds on the sugar and will get worse.
Then you need to get rid of the fungus living in the and around the vagina by using something with anti-fungal properties. There are several herbal or medical plants that can be used, garlic is one that is commonly found to be effective. If raw garlic does not appeal to you there are garlic capsules that you can get that are perhaps easier to take.
Now finally you want to get the pH balance of the vagina back to what it should be. Applying vinegar can do this – just dilute some in water and use a cloth to dab it on the infected area, or add some to bath water and soak in it.
