Are you aware that you could be avoiding reoccurring yeast infections? There really is no need to continue suffering from these infections that burn and irritate your skin. For far too long many women have suffered needlessly as it seems they don’t know how to either treat their infections themselves nor how to prevent them for the long term. Today we will be discussing not only natural ways to treat them but also taking a look at a few preventative measures. As far as prevention goes if you go swimming, make sure that you remove your wet bathing suit at the first opportunity as this can encourage yeast growth. Also be sure to avoid non breathable clothing as well as clothes that are too tight. Now let take a closer look at some natural cures that are long known for their treatment of yeast infections.
