A yogurt yeast infection remedy is an effective way to get rid of the symptoms of yeast infections without expensive drugs. It is increasingly being used as sufferers turn from their drug-based medications to more natural remedies. Here you'll get to know why, and the best ways to use the yogurt yeast infection remedy.
But to understand just how it works you first need to be aware of the cause of yeast infection...
Any yeast infection remedy has to take account of a yeast-like fungus called Candida Albicans. This is found in our bodies but normally doesn't do us any harm, because there is enough of our body's 'friendly' bacteria to keep it in order, i.e. it doesn't multiply or 'overgrow' out of control.
But there are situations where the Candida fungi does overgrow and it's this that causes your yeast infection. These situations or 'triggers' are things such as too much antibiotics and / or steroids, poor diet, being overweight, a compromised immune system, stress, oral contraceptives, body pH, and many more.
Why are many sufferers turning to natural remedies for yeast infection? Probably because their mainstream topical creams and pessaries they get over-the-counter or through prescription are failing to cure their yeast infections permanently. These drug-based medications attack the local symptoms not the root cause. And the Canida Albicans can become resistant to the drugs. The outcome is recurring yeast infections.
So just what makes a yogurt yeast infection remedy so effective in many sufferers eyes? First off, it can't be everyday yogurt, it must be plain yogurt with no sugar or fruit or color added. Further, it has to have "active cultures" printed on the label or container. This is important because it's one of these cultures that is the actual yeast infection remedy. It's called Lactobacillus acidophilus and is what is known as a 'friendly' bacteria. It's also one of the friendly bacteria that we have in our body. So by using yogurt we are effectively building up our reserves of good bacteria to prevent yeast infections.
Eating plain yogurt everyday will help to address the Canida Albicans in the intestinal tract, which can be the starting point for yeast infections elsewhere.
Applying it to the local area symptoms will fight the Candida fungi there, for example the vagina. Externally, you can apply directly to the vulva and lips. Internally, you can soak a tampon in the yogurt and use overnight. Repeat the process until your symptoms have gone.
But yeast infection is pretty complex and just one home remedy on its own won't necessarily give you a complete cure. For a permanent cure you need to address not just the local symptoms, but the root cause and other issues like diet and lifestyle. i.e. A complete treatment program and, of course, all without expensive drugs.
