Fast Relief From Yeast Itching

Fast Relief From Yeast Itching

Home remedies are the best option for fast relief from yeast itching. Though OTC preparations can give fast relief, they often make the situation worse in the long run. So, it is better to stick to the home remedies.

Yoghurt:

Yoghurt used as a douche is probably the best know home treatment. There are a few ways you can use yoghurt, but using it as a douche is best. It is also possible to buy empty gelatin capsules, fill them with yoghurt and insert it in the vagina. When using yoghurt as a douche it is important that you remember to wear a sanitary towel to prevent leakage.

Apple vinegar:

Another way to obtain relief from yeast itching is by the use of apple vinegar. It is important to stress that it must be apple vinegar as any other vinegar will make matters worse. Use the apple vinegar in a low warm bath with about 2 cups of apple vinegar in it.

Taking the apple cider vinegar internally will also help. Add about two tablespoons of apple vinegar to a glass of water twice a day. I agree the taste is awful and if you wish you can also use apple cider vinegar tablets.

Garlic:

The consumption of garlic can also be a great help. It is important to eat the garlic fresh and as soon as it has been chopped or even better try swallowing the clove whole. The reason for this is that the chemical in the garlic that combats the Candida loses its effectiveness very fast. The consumption of garlic tablets will also provide relief. It is important to remember that using garlic will take a little longer before you feel the results.

Other measures to prevent and relief the yeast itching:

• Always use white unscented soap
• Do not use any bubble baths etc. and do not soak in the bath for long periods. Actually it is best to take only showers.
• Wear only cotton underwear
• Do not wear any tight clothing
• Make very sure to dry yourself properly after you had a bath or shower
• Do not walk around in a wet swimsuit; change into dry clothes directly after you had a swim.
• Eat unflavored, unsweetened yoghurt every day.
• During an infection stay away from bread and all wheat products
• Do not eat any sugar or sugary foods
• During acute spells it is also advisable to keep from eating fruit. Even though fruit is very healthy, it contains a lot of sugar that is food for the fungus.
• Eat lots of fresh vegetables
• Drink lots of water, at least eight glasses a day
• Refrain from using alcohol or any yeast based drinks
• If you are in a relationship, always treat your partner as well to prevent you from re-infecting each other all the time
• Eat as little salt as possible
• Stay away from sodas, even diet sodas can make matters worse
