It is well-known that 75% of females have it. Is it really possible to understand why so many people are suffering from this very personal and painful condition? To be honest, most people don’t know why. I will give you a brief overview and then you can try my home remedy for yeast infection.
Candidiasis
Originally known as monilla, it is now known as candidiasis (or yeast infection). You can also call it oral thrush or oral monilla, but this all depends on where it is located. Nearly everyone has it, especially in the moist areas. It is also common in healthy women, who may not be aware they have it. The genital area of a woman is moist so it is often considered a safe place due to the acid.
Unfortunately, this is where most female yeast infections occur. This is caused by friendly bacteria, also known as acidophiles, increasing, causing an imbalance. As well as diabetes and the birth pill, antibiotics are a major cause. Pregnancy and menstruation are the most vulnerable times for women. We have now looked at the causes of this painful and uncomfortable condition.
Home Remedies
Here is my personal yeast infection home remedy. Live yoghurt is the best home remedy for yeast infections. It can be eaten, or applied directly to the affected area. This home remedy for yeast infection is usually done with a tampon that has yoghurt on. This is something I tried in the past, but it has not worked for me.
Camomile plants have small white flowers with yellow centers. They look similar to daisies. It is usually available in tea bags at the supermarket. Two teabags should be used for every litre of boiling water. It should be left to steep for at least 30 minutes. Let it cool in the fridge. Then, wash the area with the liquid. You can also buy dried flowers from the plant and place them in a bowl or bidet.
Place about 2 oz of dried flowers directly in the bidet. The hot tap should be used to heat the flowers. Let the liquid cool for 30-40 minutes before allowing them to sit in the bidet. This will instantly relieve the burning sensation and itchy skin. This should be done three times per day for three consecutive days. It is possible to pass yeast infections from one person to another very easily. It is not recommended to use towels from other people. Additionally, yeast infections can easily be passed from one person to another. Camomile can be purchased in powder form at some herb shops. This powder can be mixed with water and used to make a poultice that can be applied directly to itchy areas.
Final Note
Please note although camomile is generally safe as a Yeast infection home remedy, people who are allergic to certain things such as ragweed,daisies,asters and chrysanthemums should consult their doctor before using it. It can also cause asthma and problems for pregnant women. While personal hygiene is important, it should be avoided. It is best to wear loose, clean cotton clothes.
