Yeast Infection Cures Natural
Thrush is a yeast infection of the mouth caused by Candida fungus. The fungus normally lives in the mouth and other parts of the body without causing any problem if kept in check by the immune system and other naturally occurring bacteria in the mouth. If the fungus is not kept in check and it grows rapidly, infection is more likely to happen. The infection can result to white patches on the mouth and tongue. Suffering from a mouth infection can be really stressful and it is important to find a cure. Of course it is best to consult your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment but if you are looking for natural treatment, a natural cure for thrush is an option that you can explore to avoid the side effects of drugs.
It can be very difficult to deal with mouth infection. It is not only painful but it can be very hard to eat with a sore mouth. It is important to immediately get rid of the infection to get rid of the pain and discomfort.
One natural cure for thrush is good oral hygiene. Avoid using toothbrush with hard bristles to avoid aggravating your condition. Rinsing your mouth with 3% hydrogen peroxide diluted in water can be very helpful.
Lactobacillus acidophilus. The imbalance of good and bad bacteria promotes the overgrowth of Candida fungus leading to infections like thrush. Lactobacillus acidophilus found in yogurt is another natural cure for thrush because it helps restore the natural balance of micro-organisms on the affected area to stop the overgrowth of Candida. Therefore, eating yogurt everyday can be very helpful to eliminate the infection. Choose natural unsweetened yogurt. Over-the-counter acidophilus capsule is also an option.
Ginger is another natural cure for thrush. Ginger has anti-fungal properties that can be very helpful in treating oral thrush. There are reports that ginger extract is very effective in preventing the growth of oral fungus like Candida. Ginger juice diluted in warm water or ginger tea can help relieve painful oral thrush.
Yeast infection like thrush can be a stubborn problem that can annoy you over and over again that is why it is important to find a cure that will totally eliminate the infection.

QUESTION:
Natural Yeast Infection Cures Treatments?
i am taking antibiotics and now i have a yeast infection. I am not happy.is there any way i can get rid of the infection naturally? any tip will be appreciated thanks-
ANSWER:
Plain pro-biotic yoghurt - there's nothing in Greek yoghurt that will help, the reason pro-biotic yoghurt helps is because it contains lactobacillus acidophilus, a bacterium that creates hydrogen peroxide that kills yeast. There's argument about whether eating it helps as it goes through digestive system and not via the vagina, but I know when I feel ill my vaginal health is effected and fact is bacteria from your anus will linger round your vagina - unpleasant, but they are the facts - so better it be healthy bacteria! You may prefer to take acidophilus tablets.Another edible solution is drinking either cranberry or blueberry juice (or taking cranberry tablets), these help by effecting the pH of your urine - the theory here is that as the urine passes over your vulva it may be of some help in fighting off the yeast beasties, or at least ease some discomfort.
Plain pro-biotic yoghurt is best applied directly to your genitals, you can plaster it onto your vulva before bed, you can fill a syringe to insert into your vagina, or personally I recommend freezing in ice cube trays as an easy way to insert and cooling too. Do this overnight, wear a CLOTH pad or old underwear to bed then wash with water in the morning - commercial pads are a major cause of such infections so they're a no-no, and obviously anything chemical near your vagina like soap is a no-no.
Garlic - not great smelling, but works well as it's a natural anti-fungal, you do literally take a garlic clove, peel and insert. Be careful not to score the clove as it may sting, and you may want to tie some clean thread around it so it's easier to remove.
Tea tree oil - you can insert a few drops into your vagina and around your vulva, but to some women this is too uncomfortable, so instead try having a jug near the toilet to fill with water and add a few drops then wash it over your genitals when you go to the toilet...no reason to do it specifically then, it's just a handy time to do it. Same can be done with a mix of 1 tablespoon potassium sorbate to a cup of water, or 1 teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide to a cup of water, or liter of water and 2 tablespoons of white or cidar vinegar, or Juice of half a lemon, or 1 teaspoon vitamin C.
Gentian violet - this stuff is cool, it turns your snatch purple which is sort of freaky, it's a very old natural anti-fungal, you plaster it onto your genitals and that's that...well, you have to wear old underwear and use old sheets when you sleep as it will stain anything it comes into contact with. Use it once or twice a day for a few days.
Another old one is Boric Acid - yes it sounds scary, but it's safe, you just load up about 600 mg into a couple of gel capsules then insert them into your vagina where your body heat will desolve the capsules and the boric acid will kill off the yeast.

QUESTION:
is there any natural cures for a yeast infection?
I am 7 weeks pregnant, and I think I've come down with a yeast infection due to the changing of hormones. Until I see my doctor is there anything I can do for it that would not put my baby in jeopardy?-
ANSWER:
Eat lots of yogurt. I had a very painful yeast infection at about 37 weeks pregnant. I put ice packs on the outside of my underwear and ate a half gallon of yogurt (yeah it was attractive). Once I talked to my ob, she assured me the monistat cream was safe to use externally.

QUESTION:
yeast infections...natural cures and more?
OK i have been using the Yogurt remidy for curing my yeast infection. I started last night. and today its still here. i was just wondering how long does it take with the Yogurt to get rid of the imfection. i dont want to use monistat becuase i have read that its not good for you. I was just wondering if any one has there own cures that are natural and what you have done and how long it took to get rid of.
and to add this is not my frist yeast infection.-
ANSWER:
Here's an awesome website from Michigan State University that will tell you everything you could possibly need to know about yeast infections and do-it-yourself yeast-infection treatments, including yogurt: http://www.msu.edu/~eisthen/yeast/yourself.htmlAnyway, the yogurt method can become a bit messy and time-consuming. I usually opt for the 3-day cream treatments (they've always done the trick), though I sympathize with your suspicion of synthetic medicines. I personally would never take an internal medication for a yeast infection, either. The over-the-counter topical treatments are far less intrusive and have far fewer unnecessary extra chemicals than any oral treatment.

QUESTION:
How can I cure my vaginal yeast infection in a natural way at home?
I've been suffering from yeast infections for years now and they have now become chronic. The drugs don't help me anymore. The internet is full of different kinds of advice for natural cures, I have already tried some of them with no success. I was wondering are there really effective natural methods for yeast infections?-
ANSWER:
Yes, there are a lot of natural remedies, but it is not important which one do you take or apply, but when and how much of them you apply. Right timing and dosage are the key to success. There is not one natural treatment that will solve your problem. You always have to combine several treatments, the point is to kill the infection from inside, not outside.
Why don't you check some simple methods that have already helped many yeast infection sufferers?
