Yeast infections are unpleasant to experience and to deal with. There are certain things that you can do to prevent and treat this infection in your every day life. Before you experience symptoms of a yeast infection, you may want to try to make it so you won’t have to experience one. If you have had them, you realize how uncomfortable it is, and try these steps so that they will not reoccur.

Keep a healthy diet, never keep your stomach empty for a long period of time. When you eat, try not to eat foods that are undigestable and also sour foods. You should wear cotton undergarments and avoid tight fitting clothing and tight jeans. You should wash the genital area once a day with plain water and a mild soap. Rinse well, and dry thoroughly. You should avoid using deodorant sprays and other perfumed products since it may irritate and dry skin. To relieve itching you should compress with cold water or cool baths.

If you follow these steps and are unfortunate enough to still get a yeast infection there are certain home remedies that may help get rid of your infection and its symptoms. The first of these is to take a plain tampon and dip it into plain yogurt. Insert this into the vagina twice a day until your symptoms clear up. Lactobacilus acidophilus is the active ingredient in yogurt which will kill the yeast. Even eating yogurt will help remedy a yeast infection.

Another remedy is to peel a fresh clove of garlic and to wrap it in cheesecloth and tying it with unwaxed dental floss, like a tampon. It may be helpful to leave a bit of the floss hang off so that you can use it to pull it out afterwards. Insert the tampon and leave it there for a few hours, or overnight. Remove this in the morning. For a severe case of infection you should try this both morning and during the night. Repeat this until the symptoms disappear.

Other home remedies for vaginial yeast infections include pouring a few drops of teatree oil on a lubricated tampon and do like what you would do with the yogurt. There is a mixture that you can make for douching. Mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 2 cups water, and 1 clove of garlic. Let it stand for some time and you can douch with this mixture.

You may also try inserting one or two capsules of boric acid into the vagina. Keep it there overnight for several nights. This works, however some women feel discomfort or burning using this option for the first few days.

Also if you mix one tablespoon potassium sorbate in one cup of water. Insert a tampton into the vagina and pour this solution inside to be aborbed by the tampon. Keep it in there overnight and repeat this for several nights.

If your yeast infection is in another part of the body, apply a fresh garlic paste directly on the parts of the body that are affected.

These above home remedies have been used to help get rid of bothersome yeast infections. Many women (and men) suffer from yeast infections and they resort to the remedies found in a drug store such as creams, suppositories, and other medical remedies. The problem with these is that they don’t relieve the yeast infection for a long period of time. The yeast comes back very quickly and with vengeance. Many have found home remedies to be most successful. Make sure to treat the infection, however, since leaving it go will not get rid of it.
