Safe Home Remedies Yeast Infections Require
By Alex Christie (BA Hons, LCHE, MARH, B.Inst.A.T.)
Systemic Yeast Infections / Candida are best treated under the guidance of an experienced practitioner. Homeopathy, combined with herbs, offers the best treatment available. Until you are able to visit your practitioner here are some home remedies yeast infections can be treated with. The advantage of using home remedies yeast infections cannot tolerate is that they are mild and have none of the harmful side-effects of drugs, whilst they offer a safe yeast infection treatment.
 Oregano Oil: A potent home remedy yeast infection is effectively eradicated with. It has been found that oregano oil is over 100 times more potent than caprylic acid, against Candida. Whereas caprylic acid is effective when the Candida is contained in the gut, it does not treat systemic Candida as oregano oil does. Oregano oil should be taken in capsule form as directed. It is not suitable if you have stomach ulcers.
Probiotics: Acidophilus supplementation is a critical home remedy yeast infections and their related illnesses absolutely require. Although not effective if taken during antibiotic therapy, unless taken at least 8 hours apart from the antibiotic, probiotics taken immediately after antibiotic treatment can prevent the destruction of the delicate gut flora and prevent the Candida yeast infection / overgrowth. I suggest the Biocare Replete (high potency Probiotics) for one week followed by one month of BioCare acidophilus capsules, two a day with meals.
Fructo-Oligosaccharides (FOS) help promote the growth of friendly bacteria by feeding them, thereby increasing the presence of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli and reducing detrimental bacteria. One tablespoon a day is recommended.
Using Home Remedies Yeast Infections of the Bladder Can be Treated
Homeopathy offers highly effective remedies specifically for bladder infections and painful urination. In addition, by consuming the following home remedies yeast infection in the bladder can be eradicated. Increase your consumption of water, herbal teas and drink cranberry juice (sugar-free), or take cranberry extract. Avoid caffeinated, carbonated and alcoholic drinks, and sugary foods. I recommend homeopathy, which offers powerful remedies for bladder infections.
Colloidal Silver is a natural antibiotic and destroys bacteria, viruses, and fungi and promotes healing.
Vitamin C plus bioflavonoids produce antibacterial effect though acidification of urine. Vitamin C plays an important role in immune function generally.
Cranberry is one of the best home remedies yeast infection in the bladder can be treated with. Quality cranberry juice produces hippuric acid in the urine, which acidifies the urine and inhibits bacterial growth. Studies have shown that cranberry juice reduces the ability of E.coli to stick to the mucosal lining of the bladder and urethra, thus reducing the possibility of infection and assisting the body in fighting the infection. Drink several glasses daily of pure, unsweetened juice. Alternatively, take cranberry capsules.
Garlic is a natural antibiotic and immune enhancer and easily obtainable home remedy your yeast infection can be reduced by taking. Garlic contains antifungal substances that kill off yeast. I suggest a minimum of 400mg per capsule with every meal. Garlic is safe during pregnancy. Some women have even inserted a peeled clove into their vagina for relief. Don’t nick the clove (it stings) and tie some string around it so you (rather than you doctor) can retrieve it.
Goldenseal is good for bladder infections if there is bleeding, and is most effective as an herbal anti-microbial agent. Please take under guidance from a practitioner.
Marshmallow root increases the acidity of urine, inhibiting bacterial growth.
With Home Remedies Yeast Infection of the Upper Respiratory Tract Can be Overcome
Homeopathy has many effective remedies that successfully treat upper respiratory tract infections without harmful side-effects. You should also avoid cigarette smoke and other respiratory irritants, drink 2 litres of water a day, and cut out sugar and dairy products from your diet.
Support your recovery by supplementing with Vitamin C 1,000mg every 2 hours (reduce if flatulence of diarrhoea results – this indicates you have reached your upper limit).
Tinctures: Home Remedies Yeast Infection Cannot Tolerate
Goldenseal works on the mucous membranes generally. It is indicated in all forms of catarrh. It is also anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, bacteriostatic against staphylococcus, and a detoxifier.
Lobelia is an antasthmatic, asntispasmodic, mild sedative and gentle relaxant. Expectorant, diaphoretic, anti-cough, broncho-dilator. It is used as a broad-spectrum therapy for chest, throat and sinuses. It is offers an effective means of controlling difficult breathing without risk of serious side effects, croup, whooping cough, deteriorating asthma. A qualified practitioner will be able to prescribe this for you.
Mullein is a soothing relaxant for irritable respiratory conditions and an antitussive. It is used for asthma, hayfever, bronchitis, deep hollow coughs, and emphysema.
Using These Home Remedies Yeast Infection / Genital Thrush Can Be Combated
Organic Cider Vinegar Bath
Put 1 tablespoon of organic cider vinegar into 1 litre of water. Bathe the whole vaginal area with this dilution (in a bidet or plastic receptacle that you can lower your bottom into). Soak a small tampon in this dilution and insert into the vagina (don’t lose the string!). Pull it out and rinse in the solution, and re-insert several times to cleanse the whole vaginal area. This can really ease the itching and clean the discharge.
You can also add essential oils to 2 tablespoons of organic cider vinegar:
 Lavender 2 drops
Rosemary 2 drops
Myrrh 2 drops
Mix with 600ml warm water. Soak tampon in this and insert morning, removing evening. Or douche daily with this for 3 days.
BioCare Vaginal Pessaries
These are a much better option than Canesten pessaries. They can be purchased from BioCare directly, or from your health food store. These restore the healthy acidophilus bacteria back in the vagina. Insert one nightly for two weeks.
Bio-Yoghurt Bath
Insert a small tampon in natural live yoghurt and then insert into vagina. Leave for 30-60 mins. This also puts small quantities of the good bacteria into the vagina if you don’t have the BioCare pessaries.
Bio-Yoghurt and Essential Oils Bath
Into 100g live yoghurt and a little spring water put:
German Chamomile Oil 5 drops
Lavender Oil 5 drops
Majoram Oil 5 drops
Soak a narrow tampon in this and insert into the vagina in the morning, removing in the evening.
Any of the following essential oils can be used for vaginal Candida if you have them.
I suggest 5 drops of 3 different oils into 100g yoghurt as coating for a tampon.
German Chamomile |
Bergamot |
Yarrow |
Marjoram |
Cajeput |
Lavender |
Geranium |
Rosemary |
Myrrh |
Thyme |
Patchouli |
