Before we discuss effective Candida home remedies, it is important to understand how the infection is developed.
Candida albicans is the fungus responsible for Candida (or, yeast) infection. Normally found in the digestive track, this fungus actually plays a beneficial part in the digestive process, and is quite harmless in it’s natural place. The amount of the Candida albicans in your system is normally controlled by other bacteria, which feed on the fungus.
At times, the levels of the bacteria that feed on the fungus is reduced by outside forces (taking antibiotics, etc.), and the Candida albicans reach excessive levels. Some of the fungus can escape from the digestive track and settle in other parts of the body. As it prefers warm, moist areas, the vagina is a favorite home for these travelers, and with no other bacteria present to control it’s growth, it will reproduce at will, soon producing a yeast infection.
There are several Candida home remedies that you can use to eliminate the fungus and clear the infection. Among the most effective are:
- Yogurt: The bacteria found in yogurt is very effective in reducing the Candida albicans in the vaginal canal. Simply dip a tampon in yogurt, insert it in the vagina, and leave it for a time (preferably, overnight). Over a period of 3 to 6 days, the bacteria in the yogurt will effectively eliminate the fungus and clear the infection.
- Garlic: The antibacterial properties of garlic make it one of the more effective Candida home remedies. The best way to apply it is to wrap a clove in a small piece of gauss and insert it into the vaginal canal, again leaving it in overnight.
- Tea Tree Oil: Another powerful antibacterial agent that can be used alone in a manner similar to the yogurt above, or used in conjunction with the garlic to produce a “double whammy” effect. Simply soak the gauss in tea tree oil before wrapping the garlic.
The only downside to these treatments lies in the fact that none will prevent the reoccurance of the infection somewhere down the road. It is an unfortunate fact that some women are prone to yeast infections, and may have trouble for their entire life.
The good news is, there is a way to cure the problem for good! Get your copy of Sarah Summer’s “Natural Cure for Yeast Infection” and learn how easily you can get rid of vaginal Candida albicans permenatly.
