Holistic Home Treatment For Yeast Infection
The basis for home treatment for yeast infection
is to treat the symptom as well as to perform common everyday procedures using natural
ingredients rather than using chemicals to prevent the symptom from recurring. Most home treatment for a yeast
infection such as green tea douches, yogurt suppositories are effective
in clearing up symptoms, but a holistic home treatment for yeast
infections should include changes in the affected persons diet and use
of natural ingredients found around the home.
Diet
A home treatment for yeast infection consists of a change in your daily
diet. This is to get rid of the yeast infection from the inside out. A
proper diet designed for home treatment for yeast infection includes
natural foods and foods that are high in Omega-3 fatty acids. The diet
would include a balanced combination of fresh vegetables, different
types of fruits, chicken, fish and a lot of fresh water.
Additionally, you should eat food that is rich in whole grains. Some
suggested whole grains foods includes psyllium, flaxseed or oat bran.
The suggested daily consumption of these grains is one tablespoon of
psyllium, six to eight tablespoons of the flax seed and one quarter cup
oat bran. This formula will improve the overall health of your digestion
system.
As a good diet plan for home treatment for yeast infection, you should
avoid certain foods. Those foods that you should avoid eating include
alcohol, caffeine, dairy products, oily foods, fried foods, abstinence
from hydrogenated products, sugar and refined flour products.
Natural Ingredients
Do you know that some of the common foods found in your kitchen can be
used as part of the home treatment for yeast infections? One good
example is garlic. Garlic is an excellent natural product that can wards
off fungus and kills yeast. It can be applied externally and consumed
orally.
For external application (for vaginal yeast infection), take a clove of
garlic, wrap the segment in a permeable piece of gauze and tie the ends
of the gauze together with a piece of string. Insert it into the
affected area and leave it there for several hours. This is an effective
way to relieve yeast infection symptom. Remove it when the symptoms have
subsided. (Warning: when using this home treatment for yeast infection,
note that that the clove of garlic should not be cut. Cutting of the
clove of garlic may allow for the juice of the garlic to flow. This flow
into the infected area would cause irritation and a burning of the
sensitive membranes.) |
