Heal Vaginal Yeast Infections Naturally!

Vaginal yeast infections are a common issue faced by many women. While they can be uncomfortable and frustrating, there are natural ways to manage and combat these infections. In this article, we will explore some effective remedies and lifestyle changes that can help you prevent and treat vaginal yeast infections.

Step 1: Combat System Yeast Overgrowth

An overgrowth of yeast in your gut can lead to a higher risk of developing vaginal yeast infections. The first step in managing and combating these infections is to combat system yeast overgrowth. Gut healing is essential for maintaining a healthy balance of bacteria in your body. You can achieve this by incorporating inulin fiber, prebiotics, and probiotics into your diet.

Inulin fiber can be found in foods like asparagus and chicory root, and it helps feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Prebiotics like garlic and onions can also promote gut health. Probiotics are live microorganisms that can help restore the balance of bacteria in your gut. Taking supplements like Nature’s Way Cell Forte and Klaire Labs Women Ther-Biotic® Complete can provide your body with the healthy probiotics and prebiotics it needs.

Step 2: Eliminate Yeast Feeding Foods

Another important step in preventing vaginal yeast infections is to eliminate yeast-feeding foods from your diet. Yeast feeds on sugar and carbohydrates, which can fuel its growth. By reducing your intake of carbs and sugars, you can help prevent an overgrowth of yeast in your body.

Step 3: Practice Good Hygiene Habits

There are also certain lifestyle changes you can make to avoid vaginal yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. For example, wiping from front to back when using the toilet can prevent the spread of bacteria from the anus to the vagina. You should also avoid douching, which can disrupt the natural balance of bacteria in your vagina. It's also recommended to wear cotton underwear, as synthetic blends can trap moisture and encourage the growth of yeast.

Step 4: Topical Natural Remedies

If you are already experiencing a vaginal yeast infection, there are several natural remedies that can help. One effective at-home treatment is a sitz bath with apple cider vinegar. Here are the steps to follow:

Add one cup of apple cider vinegar to a bathtub filled with 5-6 inches of warm water.

Soak in the bath for 20-30 minutes.

Repeat this process twice a day until your symptoms improve.

This treatment can help alleviate itching and inflammation.

Calendula is another natural remedy that can be used topically to reduce swelling and inflammation of external tissue. It's important to note that it should not be applied inside the vagina. Here's how to use it:

Purchase calendula ointment or cream from a health food store or online.

Apply a small amount of the cream to the affected area.

Repeat this process as needed until your symptoms improve.

Step 5: Internal Natural Remedies

Internal treatment can also be helpful in managing vaginal yeast infections. Immune-boosting supplements like Host Defense MyCommunity and liver detox supplements like Milk Thistle can help your body fight off infections. Ingesting food-grade oil of oregano or inhaling the essential oil of oregano using a diffuser and, as mentioned previously, using pre and probiotics can reduce the growth of yeast and restore healthy bacteria.

In conclusion, managing and combating vaginal yeast infections is possible through natural remedies and lifestyle changes. By taking steps such as incorporating healthy probiotics and prebiotics into your diet, eliminating yeast-feeding foods, and practicing good hygiene habits, and the other steps mentioned above, you can reduce your risk of developing these infections. If your symptoms persist, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
