Dreaming of cures for yeast infection as you itch and burn? Look no further because I will answer the burning question; 'how do you get rid of a yeast infection?' The most obvious cures for yeast infections are those found at your local drugstore.
They are commonly made up of an anti-fungal cream which helps with the irritation and the itch, as well as suppositories to help you tackle this disease from inside.
As with all medications; consult a medical care professional before starting treatment.
There are also several natural ways to rid yeast overgrowth from your life.
The great thing about these natural treatments is not just that they are made up of ingredients often already found in your own home, but they can also help you to prevent future infections from coming back as opposed to just curing your current infection.
One of the best cures to get rid of a yeast overgrowth naturally is garlic.
You can apply garlic oil or fresh crushed garlic to the affected area, or make a sort of suppository using a garlic clove.
Take a fresh, peeled clove and wrap it in gauze, tie a knot and leave yourself a little bit of extra gauze to use to pull out the garlic.
Insert it into the vagina and leave in for a few hours - overnight is best.
Finally, to up your chance of being able to rid of these infections from your life you should work at keeping your immune system strong through a well balanced diet and regular exercise.
Avoiding things that put you at higher risk for yeast overgrowth is crucial.
This includes: keeping clean and dry while avoiding irritants and scented bath and body products and avoiding spending too much time in a wet bathing suit and practicing safe sex (yes-you can pass this disease back and fourth through sex!)
