Often
when contracting a yeast infection, the clothes closet is the last thing the
sufferer will look at; yet, it is better to prevent an infection in the first
place rather than go through all the suffering and having to take conventional
medicine again. There are things you can do and remember to prevent contracting
a yeast infection. Have you taken a look at the way you wash or the way you
dress? You should not wear tight pants or even panties that ride up your
crotch. Bacteria are easily spread in that area. Loose clothing is best. You
don’t want any part of your body to be a hot spot for infection.
It is
also advisable to have a shower rather than sit in bath water that might
re-infect you. It is an unpleasant and uncomfortable feeling having a yeast
infection, but you want to avoid baths with your children sitting in the same
water and even using the same towels. Remember, having sex with your partner
passes the infection back and forth. And
here’s the kicker: if your condition does not get cleared up, you can also get
yeast infections around your dentures, between and under the breasts, and also
in skin folds. Always keep these areas clean and dry. In a woman a yeast
infection spreads very quickly and easily as the infection thrives in a moist
and mossy and dark environment and can also give out vaginal odors.
Kitchen
ingredients to combat yeast infection
·
Plain,
unsweetened yogurt (since sugar feeds yeast) which can be ingested and also
used externally. Eat yogurt before your meal as it provides good bacteria for
your stomach to aid in digestion.
·
To
use yogurt externally, you can also dip a tampon into the yogurt and insert it
into the vagina. I don’t know how well this works, and would check with other
women who may have done this.
·
Use
lots of garlic in your food; yeast hates garlic and provides almost instant
relief. If you use garlic tablets, make sure the ingredients are natural.
Garlic offers a host of other health benefits.
·
For
temporary relief, if you need a hot bath, add a cup of apple cider vinegar to
the bathwater for a relaxing bath. Don’t apply apple cider vinegar directly to
the infected area. Don’t let anyone else use your towels.
·
Flush
out your system by drinking lots of water – perhaps four or five bottles a day.
I
will not recommend what kind of medication and supplements you should take.
That is best left to the doctor. Go online and read up on yeast infections.
There is a lot of information. For myself, I would consult the doctor first and
stipulate that it should only be natural.
