It is not uncommon to see traditional treatment with drugs and creams don’t work for most women with vaginal yeast infection. The reason is because drugs and creams are created to focus only on the symptoms of the infection rather than the cause. However, this depends on the severity of the infection.
If you fall into this category where traditional treatment just don’t work and you are having your yeast infection to re-occur again and again after each treatment, then natural remedies is the way to go. We will look into 2 of the more common natural home remedies to beat your vaginal yeast infection in this article.
Tea Tree Oil – it has been scientifically proven that tea tree oil contains antifungal and antiseptic properties in nature. It is rich in terpenoids (also known as isoprenoids) that is a natural germicide and fungicide and has long history for medical use on various skin diseases like acne, eczema, athlete’s foot, dandruff and particularly vaginal yeast infection.
There are several ways that you can use to apply the oil on your infection. You can add the oil in a slightly warm water of your bathing tub and soak yourselves in it for about 15 minutes by keeping your leg open. You can also apply it directly after shower to the opening of your vagina and lips where the infection can be seen and leaving it to aired dry before putting on your panties and clothing. Do this for a continuous 2 weeks and you should be able to see to that the yeast infection is gone.
Garlic – this might sound weird to a lot of people but the fact is garlic kills yeast. An obvious example is in the making of bread. You cannot add garlic till the yeast has risen up the bread or the yeast will never rise. So, this is how you are going to use garlic to treat your vaginal yeast infection; you are going to place a clove of garlic (with the skin removed) inside your vagina before you go to bed and take it out the next morning. If you are worried, then leave it inside for an hour or two and remove it and repeat the treatment a few times a day.
Now, it doesn’t matter which of the above two natural home remedies that you are going to use to beat your vaginal yeast infection, the prerequisite is; you must make sure that your vaginal is always clean and dry. Never let the area trap with moisture. Always be in a dry condition by wearing loose undies and clothing that allows proper air ventilation or it could easily trap moisture inside.
