Yeast Infections women hate them

No woman likes a yeast infection, but sooner or later we all get them. They are very irritating to any woman. Some women even get them more than others. There are natural ways to cure this, and there are over the counter meds. Let's talk natural, since over the counter meds can be costly, and natural, well you know what the ingredients are.

One thing to try is yogurt, it has natural cures for yeast infections. Yogurt puts healthy bacteria into your body in place of yeast, therefore cleaning up the yeast infection. Plain yogurt is the yogurt of choice. Simply dip a tampon into the yogurt and then insert and leave there for one hour. The bacteria from the yeast should clear up your infection. It also helps with the burning and itching. Do this twice a day until the infection is gone, it can take up to five days.

Apple cider vinegar is another natural method for yeast infections. Make sure the apple vinegar is organic, due to low acidity. This will give you best results. The apple cider vinegar is used in a sitz bath, of very shallow water, only covering your groin area. Add two cups of the vinegar and sit for 15 minutes. Pat only with a towel. Do this every night for a week. Wearing loose clothes and breathable under ware will help the process along. Taking a few teaspoons of the same vinegar once a day will also prevent the infection from coming back.

Boric acid is also a cure for yeast infections, and does it almost instantly.  It kills bacteria which causes the infection pretty fast. Do not use the boric acid once the infection is gone. It usually only takes three days. NEVER take boric acid orally.
