A Natural Treatment For Yeast Infection – Raw Apple Cider Vinegar Treatment
November 6th, 2009
A natural treatment for yeast infections is what more and more sufferers are looking for nowadays. Tired of suffering recurring yeast infections, they are turning to natural treatments such as apple cider vinegar for their infection. These don’t have the negative aspects of drug-based treatments, and, are much cheaper.
Let us look first at why thousands of sufferers are turning away from mainstream treatment for yeast infections…
Mainstream treatment usually consists of the application of topical creams, gels and sprays to the local area displaying the symptoms. They address the local symptoms but not the root cause. And because they depend on drugs to work, the Candida albicans fungi (the cause of your infection) can build-up a resistance to them. The outcome can be soul-destroying recurrent yeast infections.
Now, whilst the Candida albicans fungi is the cause of your infection, something needs to happen in order for the fungi to overcome your body’s ‘friendly’ bacteria whose job it is to keep the fungi under control. These underlying issues or triggers are things like diabetes, lowered immune system, antibiotics overuse, stress, bad diet, etc.
Now let’s look at a popular natural treatment for yeast infection…
One of the most effective is raw apple cider vinegar. But it has to be raw, unrefined, unpasteurised, with no additives. You are more likely to get it in a health food store than the supermarket. Check the label and / or ask the assistant.
What makes it such a favorite natural treatment for yeast infection? Raw apple cider vinegar has anti-fungal properties that help to fight the Candida albicans. It contains things like; amino acids, minerals, trace elements (e.g. potassium, iron, calcium, etc.), vitamins, enzymes, etc. So taking apple cider vinegar also helps your overall health position.
You can drink it by mixing 2 teaspoons in a 8 oz glass of cold water; three times a day. You can also use it as a natural douche by adding 2 tablespoons to 2 quarts of warm water. Or, you can use it in a ‘sitz’ bath by adding two cups of vinegar to a low, warm bath. Just enough water to cover your hips. Soak for about 20 minutes.
But, while it can ease the discomfort and symptoms, on its own apple cider vinegar is unlikely to lead to a permanent cure without also addressing the underlying issues…
