One of the disgusting skin infections is yeast infection which is also called as Candida. As the name implies it is caused by microscopic fungi or yeast. Candida can develop around dentures, lower abdomen, under the breast, vagina, nail beds, and beneath skin folds.  This can take place at any age and it causes vagina odors.  Yeasts love to dwell in moist and environments and vagina is the dream home of yeasts.

Yeast infection is not only a problem among women.  It also occurs in males, especially when a man’s wife has this problem.

General Symptoms of Vaginal Yeast Infection

• Itches in and around the vagina with burning sensation
• Thick white or yellowish discharge
• Vulvar area is red and swollen
• Urination and sex can be painful

What are the Best Natural Cures for Yeast Infection

If you suffer from this problem you need to visit your gynecologist and get it checked for the proper treatment. However, you can find remedies at a drugstore. You can use creams, suppositories, and others. But if you want to do it naturally, there are home remedies that can help cure yeast infection. These include the following:

• Yogurt: The good bacteria in plain yogurt fights yeast. You can use yogurt externally and internally. Do not buy sweetened yogurt because sugar keeps yeast alive. You can also use soy or almond milk. For external use dip a tampon in yogurt and insert it into your vagina.
• Garlic: This is one of the best natural cures for yeast infection.  Simply insert a garlic clove into the vagina every few hours to provide relief. You can also use Shaklee garlic tabs. You can also take garlic internally. Actually garlic is one of the natural drugs that offer many health benefits.
• Apple cider vinegar: Do not apply it directly to the skin as it will cause you unexplainable burning sensation. Instead add a cup of apple cider to your bathwater and take a hot bath. This will provide temporary relief.
• Water: Drink pure water. This will make you urinate frequently and thus your body will flush out the sugar that feeds the yeast. This is the best natural medicine.
• Oil of oregano leaves: Take it daily according to prescriptions in the label. See to it that it has high carvacrol content.

Some people also wonder if acidophilus cures yeast infection. Yes, it does! You can also check the book 12 Hour cure for yeast infection by Sarah Summer to find more remedies for the problem. I hope that this post helps.
