In the first phase of this discussion where we discussed about symptoms and causes of yeast infection, we concluded that it is proper to undergo a professional diagnosis before the commencement of any treatment. In this phase, we shall be looking at 10 simple ways of getting rid of yeast infections at home.

It have been observed that more and more women (and men) are utilising natural home remedies. Not only are there home remedies to eliminate the symptoms of candida but there are also natural ways to address the underlying issues that trigger the fungal overgrowth.
Below are the top ten ways to get rid of your yeast infection fast and naturally.

1. Eat Cranberries
Cranberries are great for fighting yeast infections. The flavonoids in cranberries help to strengthen your immune system. In turn, this helps to fight the bad bacteria more effectively. This includes cranberries in any form, including fresh, frozen, dried cranberries, or in juice-form.

2. Reduce Your Stress Levels
Reducing your stress levels is very important in curing your yeast infection. Stress can lower your immune system, thus allowing the candida to overgrow. To do that, make sure you do all that you can, which includes: exercising, eating a proper diet (see below), rescheduling your activities if they are too much, getting proper sleep, taking proper time out for relaxation, meditating, and so forth.

3. Change Your Diet
Change to a diet that avoids foods and ingredients that cause candida fungi to overgrow. This means avidly checking food labels and avoiding or seriously reducing the following:
• Sugar in all its forms, especially candies, soda, chocolates, and even vegetables like baked beans. This includes anything that contains fructose.
• Artificial sweeteners.
• Refined carbohydrates, because they breakdown into sugar.
• Products containing yeast.
• Dairy products—they often contain hormones and antibiotics.
• Processed foods.
• Foods containing preservatives, flavourings, or artificial colours.
• Mono-sodium glutamate (MSG)
• Stimulants like coffee, energy drinks, cigarettes, and so forth.
Note: In terms of meat, poultry, fish, and vegetables you should make a real effort to eat only organic, since modern farming methods tend to treat with antibiotics, hormones and pesticides.

4. Take Probiotics for a Yeast Infection
Probiotics (a food or dietary supplement containing live bacteria for therapeutic reasons) are a great way to help replenish the beneficial bacteria in your gut. They are available in the pharmacy or at the local health food store and contain live friendly bacteria. You can normally get them in tablet, capsule, powder, and liquid forms—it is always best to get the best quality ones. Don't sacrifice price for quality when it comes to your health!

5. Yogurt as a Probiotic
Natural yogurt is a well-known source of live cultures. However it must be free from sugar, colouring, fruit of any kind, and any other additives. Always check that the label says that it contains live active cultures. The beneficial bacteria that is especially good for yeast is Lactobacillus acidophilus found in true natural yogurt.
One of the best ways to ensure you get the very best is to make it yourself. You can easily Google this or purchase a natural yogurt making kit online through Amazon at a very reasonable price.
Interestingly, as well as rebalancing your gut flora, you can apply the yogurt directly over the site of the infection. You can apply it inside, as well—simply coat a regular tampon and insert overnight.

6. Use Tea Tree Oil for Yeast Infections
Tea tree oil has some very powerful anti-fungal properties. You can purchase tea tree oil at the local pharmacy and at certain health stores. However don't use it if you are pregnant, and also don't apply to areas where the skin is broken.

• It can be eaten to help kill the fungus in your gut.
• It can also be applied topically: peeled and crushed into a paste and applied over the area affected.
• It can also be inserted overnight in the vagina to help kill-off the candida there. Just wrap some muslin around a peeled garlic clove and tie securely with dental floss. Leave a tail of dental floss for easy removal.

8. Herbal Home Remedies for Yeast Infection[/b]s
There are very many herbs that contain excellent natural properties to help you get rid of the symptoms, as well as in preventing further infections. Here's a small sample:
• turmeric
• cinnamon
• pau d'arco
• goldenseal
• chamomile
• black walnut
• myrrh
Get these and more at your herbalist or local health food store.

[b]9. Apple Cider Vinegar
An apple cider remedy discourages candida growth by helping to rebalance your body pH. It must be raw apple cider vinegar that hasn't been distilled or pasteurized. You should be able to get this at health food stores.

• To take internally, just add 2-3 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to a large glass of water and take 2-3 times per day.
• To take externally, just put half a cup into a shallow warm bath and bathe for around 20 minutes, gently lapping the water against the affected part.

10. Use Coconut Oil for Yeast Infection
Virgin coconut oil is high in caprylic and lauric acid, thus giving it very powerful anti-fungal and antimicrobial properties. This is ideal for combating yeast infection. Coconut oil can be used in your diet and especially to cook with.

Note: Make sure you don't use the hydrogenated type, and only use virgin coconut oil.
Additional Tips on How to Prevent Yeast Infections
As a bonus, alongside the top ten, here are some more things to consider in preventing yeast infections. These are founded on the principle that candida just loves warm, moist, humid conditions and an alkaline environment:

• Avoid wearing tight jeans, pants, and panties.
• In turn, wear loser-fitting jeans and pants that allow your parts to breathe.
• Wear cotton panties that also let the area breathe.
• Maintain a clean and dry genital area at all times by washing with warm water and soap daily.
• Change out of damp sweaty swimwear or gym-wear as soon as you possibly can.
• Stop using scented feminine sprays, soaps, gels, douches, pads, tampons, and so forth. These can both irritate the fragile membranes and upset the pH (alkaline/acidic) balance.

Summary
Don't ignore these things as they form an important part of your overall approach to get rid of your yeast infection at home and prevent future occurrences. Sticking to them will definitely allow a lady to live a yeast infection-free life.
