Yogurt and yeast infections?!

Yogurt and yeast infections?

i read some other pages about it. i'm afraid i might have one but i don't want to take over the counter things. i was just wondering if anyone had used this remedie and if it worked or not... i'm also confused as to what to do and what kind of yogurt to get...

Hi, yes you use plain yogurt with live cultures. You can even use home-made yoghurt (yoghurt made at home by simply letting milk to ferment). The good bacteria in yogurt help fight yeast infections effectively. The yoghurt also has an extremely soothing effect on the affected area. Dip a tampon into the plain yoghurt and insert it into your vagina or simply rub some yoghurt on the outside. This should be done twice or thrice a day, depending on the severity of the infection, until the infection gets cured.

Fortunately, yeast infections are relatively easy to cure. You may want to try other home remedies for curing this infection, in consultation with your doctor, because home remedies generally have a longer lasting effect than over the counter medication.

It may be Apple-cider vinegar, Garlic, Oil of Oregano, Tea Tree Oil.. please look article: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/natural...

Also, drink lots of water. Frequent water intake makes you urinate more frequently. Thus, the body is able to flush out the sugars that feed the yeast.
Avoid foods that feed the yeast such as sugar and refined flours such as white flour and yeast.
Avoid using birth control pills and antibiotics when you have a yeast infection.
Avoid douching as it can reduce the acidic levels in the vagina causing leading to further yeast growth.
Do wear cotton underwear.
Do not wear clothing that is tight around the crotch for the same reason.
