Homemade Yeast Infection RemediesPart of the bother of a yeast infection is that it is embarrassing to mention it to anyone. Most women do not want to go to the doctor about this problem too. So what's the option? The problem is so irritating that it needs to be healed right away. The following homemade yeast infection remedies might help. We are going to speak in particular about the yeast infection that affects the vagina, known as vaginosis. This can have several symptoms, such as it can make the women experience insomnia and make her irritable. It is estimated that 75% of all women will suffer this infection in some or the other phase of their lives. Women are known to experience this infection more when they are nearing their menopause. This is a common occurrence along with the hot flashes because during this time the hormonal changes make the vagina more susceptible to a fungal attack. Along with all other symptoms, edema is also observed. Here are the homemade yeast infection remedies that you can use. 1. Take a single Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis) and extract its juice. Make the pulp of a single banana. Mix the two together to get a uniform consistency. Add sugar to improve the taste. Eat this once daily. You will find that it provides good respite from the symptoms of the infection. 2. Both apple cider vinegar and garlic are excellent remedies for yeast infection. You can combine the two to enhance their effects. Add some water to a little quantity of apple cider vinegar. Then add a slightly battered garlic clove to it. Use this solution as a douche for the vaginal region. Alternatively, you can soak a wad of cotton in this solution and keep it inserted in the vagina for a couple of hours. 3. Get hold of some camphor. Put it in a small quantity of coconut oil. Apply this solution in the area of the vagina where the yeast infection is the most prominent. You will find relief from the symptoms of the infection, such as the itching, but the problem itself will not be cured by this method. 4. Another homemade yeast remedy to reduce the itchiness is to wash the vaginal area with some brandy. It is best if you get some homemade brandy for this purpose. 5. Take two cups of water and put some drops of olive oil in it. Then add a little amount of grapefruit juice (any amount will do). Drink this solution. This fortifies your system against the yeast attack. You can also alternatively put cranberry juice. 6. You can either eat plain yogurt as a remedy for yeast infection or completely immerse a cotton wad in it and insert it into the vagina. Let it remain there for a couple of hours. By both these methods, you will find good relief for your yeast infection. 7. One of the simplest homemade yeast infection remedies is to drink two to three glasses of buttermilk each day. This will not only combat the attacking yeast, but will also cleanse the digestive system from within and thus allay the symptoms of the infection. |
