Have you heard of Candida? No, we're not talking about the works of George Bernard Shaw. We're referring to the infection caused by natural yeast. Candida causes irritations, which can bother a person even while they're asleep. It can make victims feel awkward in public situations, especially when they feel the constant need to scratch themselves in front of people they don't know. What's more, imagine your spouse refusing to eat the food you prepare, because your hands have been relieving your itching infection all day. Awareness of this infection is growing by the day, so if you haven't heard of it yet, this is a great time to find out.
In recent times, there has been a search for more natural cures for the infection. Though the creams that can be bought over the counter are recommended, many people are wary about the artificial medicine. Their main fear is, of course, the risk of side effects.
But before you go out to hunt down one of nature's cures, we suggest you first think about preventing outbreaks. Natural yeast infections are sensitive and you need to make to avoid them. How can you do this? We'll tell you! Above all, the idea is hygiene, and taking care of your self.
One of the biggest offenders is alcohol. Whether it is in food, or in drink, it's something that you want to stay away from. Alcohol encourages the expansion of yeasts, and will definitely make your situation worse. So, don't take wine with dinner, and avoid the fruitcake for dessert. If you have a drinking problem, it could be causing you serious complications, and this is as good a time as ever to stop.
The other food items which you need to avoid are- caffeine, margarine, milk products etc. and also all sorts of junk food. This means that you will have to cut down or may have to totally abstain from indulging in those unhealthy delicious fried stuff of the caf.
Try not to use a public bathroom, or for that matter even a common swimming pool. Swimming pools are to be avoided very particularly since the common water of the pool can bring other people's disease to your skin making your infection worse.
The next thing to make sure is to select the right condom. There are many varieties of condoms. The types which you need to avoid are the ones which contain nonoxynol-9 lubricant. So make sure you read the about the condom before you use it.
your fragrance may bring in people interested in a date, it can also attract another breakout of your natural yeast infection. Scented sanitary pads and perfumes often contain a chemical in the scent which destroys the bacteria that kill the yeast. So buy some unscented tampons, and go au naturale with your smell.
One of the best things you can do is very simple and that is to drink a lot of water. Try adding yogurt to your diet, because it contains bacteria that help kill the yeast. Garlic, also, is something you should think about trying to eat more of. Another great, natural cure: Try using products containing tea tree oil, or the oil itself. - 15438
