Yeast infection remedies are talked about everywhere but what actually works? This article goes over a simple home remedy for yeast infection that works. It gives you the cause to the problem and the solution: simple as.
When we think we have a yeast infection or are 99% sure we do, we can start to feel a little uncomfortable at the prospect of going to the Doctors because we feel embarrassed and almost ashamed. Yeast infections are not comfortable, feel disgusting and make us feel like we need a good scrubbing! Luckily though there are infethings you can do to remedy the problem without having to go to a Doctor.
Unfortunately though finding a remedy that actually resolves the issue can be difficult when a lot of information available gives out bad advice and rehashed old wive’s tales. Information focuses on overcoming symptoms solely but doesn’t give much consideration to the underlying problem. This leaves you vulnerable to a re-infection or recurring problem.
One piece of advice I have seen often is to cut down on our fruit intake. This WILL relieve symptoms but fruit (or rather sugar) is not the cause of the infection. Sugar only causes a problem as a result of too much fat in the diet on a regular basis. Below is an explanation of how fat does this.
Candida is an organism that naturally occurs in all of us. Candida can be considered a life0saving organism. When eat a lots of fat, it can take a long time (up to 48 hours) for it to digest. Fat is extremely hard for the body to digest so needs time. It is why if you are not used to fatty foods all the time, after eating a high fat meal you can start to feel extremely sluggish and tired. As a result it sits in the blood for a long time. When we eat something sugary it also does into the bloodstream and tries to become digested and passed into our cells. Sugar is very easily and quickly digested but because there is fat in the blood, it gets stuck in there too. The fat prevents it from passing into the cells and nourishing them. As a result you end up with a high blood sugar level and this is dangerous. It is at this point the Candida comes into play and eats the sugar (multiplying), bringing your sugar levels down to a safe level. This is perfectly natural but if we have a high fat diet everyday then it becomes unnatural and you will have continuously high levels of Candida and thus a yeast infection occurs.
The easiest way to resolve your yeast problem then, is to cut down fat in your diet. This will take some time but will “cure” you. You can take medication or lotions alongside this to help relieve your from the symptoms of yeast almost immediately but when it comes to yeast infection remedies, nothing beats losing the fat.
