Candida, also called yeast infection, is a nasty business if left untreated for a long time. If you ignore it, you will eventually get symptoms that can no longer be avoided, however it might be too late then. So the best is to treat it with the onset of early signs and symptoms. There are many home remedies for treating Candida available currently, and many are available online, however not everything is actually reliable information.
Yeast infections normally occur when the natural pH balance of the body is no longer what it should be. So an important aspect of getting rid of Candida is by restoring that natural balance and one way to do it is by always keeping the affected area very clean.
Whether you have oral thrush, vaginal yeast infection or skin yeast infection, home treatments for Candidiasis can work extremely well, but it is always recommended that you consult your doctor before starting any such treatments. Because these infections usually occur around parts of your body that are already pretty fragile and tender, it’s important to make sure that any attempted remedies are going to help, and are not in fact actually going to make the situation worse (as many ‘urban myth remedies’ frequently do).
Bizarrely, yogurt is the most common home remedies for Candida, and it has been proven to work time and time again. Saying that, it is best to try it in a small quantity first to see if it reacts well with your body or not.
When using yogurt, don’t just by any type. Go for the non-sugar one as this works best. Don’t forget that yeast infections thrive on sugar, so having yogurt with sugar is a big no-no. To use it around your vaginal area, dab a tampon in it, and insert it in place. Keep it for approximately half an hour prior to removing it. Use this local treatment for 5 days to have best results.
