The microorganisms Candida albicans, causes yeast infections. But

Candida
is a kind
of microorganism that is always present in our body. When its
environment,
including our body, changes the growth of the fungi suddenly increases
which
causes the infections. This change in the environment may vary from
acid and
alkaline imbalance to poor nutrition. Some triggers also include an
increase
intake of sugar, changes in the body’s hormones, antibiotics,
and even birth
control pills. Any one of these or combination of these factors can
trigger the
proliferation of the fungi resulting to infections bringing with it the
problems of itching, burning, irritation, and the presence of white or
yellowish discharge.
Although
a number
of products are commercially available to help soothe the discomfort
brought by
yeast infection, you might find these products a little expensive or
buying
them would be quite inconvenient or you need the remedy this instant.
Also,
there might be a chance that the fungi develop a resistance to
commercially
available medicines.
You
can fight
microorganisms with other microorganisms. We’re talking about
the use of
probiotics which are friendly microbial organisms that occur naturally
in the
digestive tract and vagina. The growth of probiotic microorganism
suppresses
the growth of the Candida which cases the infections. It’s a
battle of
microorganisms.
There’s
a big
chance that these remedies are not readily available in your homes.
There are
natural and more home made remedies that are available to you.
Garlic has
been
found to be effective by some people when it comes to treating yeast
infections. What you can do is get a couple of garlic cloves and smash
and
convert it into paste. You then apply that garlic paste around the
vagina area.
The antibacterial properties of garlic can help in getting rid of those
pesky
fungi. The only setback would be the smell.
A not so
smelly
alternative would be the use of honey. However, the smell may not be as
strong
as garlic but the stickiness of honey would be quite uncomfortable.
Nevertheless, according to testimonials applying honey on the affected
regions
helps alleviate the various symptoms of the infection. You apply honey
and
leave it for about 30 minutes before rinsing with warm water.
Another
good
antibacterial and antifungal remedy would be vinegar. Vinegar mixed in
warm
water is said to be quite effective. You need to soak the area for at
least 20
minutes though to see and feel some effects. Cider vinegar is said to
be more
effective.
