Yeast infections are no fun! If you've ever had a yeast infection you
know just how miserable they can be with the horrible itching,
burning, rashes and embarrassment.
It's no wonder then that you may be eager to find a fast home remedy
to treat your yeast infection. There are many websites out there that
provide information on home remedies for yeast infections. Some of
these remedies are safe, some may have minor side effects, and some
are just downright dangerous.
Many people are under the assumption that because a remedy is
available for home use it is safe, however that is not always the
case. Before jumping in and using a home remedy for your yeast
infection you should be sure to do your homework and be sure that it
is not only safe, but that it won't make your yeast infection worse
than it already is.
Here are a few of the home remedies I have seen suggested that may or
may not be safe to use:
Gentian Violet
Gentian violet is an old remedy for yeast infections that has been
around for a long time. Today, gentian violet is mostly used to treat
infection in cattle. The thing that you rarely read anywhere about
gentian violet is that it has been shown to cause damage to the
liver, so it should be used with caution.
Boric Acid
Boric acid is some nasty stuff! It is commonly used to kill
cockroaches if that gives you any idea how toxic it is. If you read
the side of a bottle of boric acid you will see that not only is it
listed as a poison, but it can be fatal if used incorrectly.
Over the Counter Yeast Infection Creams
Over the counter yeast infection creams like Monistat are safe to
use, however, they may actually make your yeast infection worse.
These creams are designed to kill off all of the yeast that is
present. However, some yeast is more resistant, and the cream often
only kills the weaker yeast and leaves the more resistant yeast
behind.
Because you've killed the weaker yeast, the more resistant yeast now
has lots of room to grow and multiply. Then, when you get another
yeast infection, you have even more of the resistant strain of yeast,
which makes the over the counter cream even less effective than it
was the first time.
This cycle repeats over and over, and before you know it you've got
chronic, recurring yeast infections that can't be treated with over
the counter creams.
The best way to treat a yeast infection is using a safe, holistic
remedy that treats the underlying cause of the infection instead of
just treating the symptoms. Eliminating the cause of yeast infections
is the only way to permanently cure yourself of yeast and get on with
your life
again.
