Yeast Infection Remedies For You
If I had a penny for every time a supposed yeast infection remedy pops up online, I’d be rich by now. Why does it have to be so damn difficult? Let’s clarify something.
Yeast infection remedies should help you with your problems for good, and not just temporarily relieve your symptoms. If that’s the only thing that it does, it can’t be considered as an actual cure. There. Pretty simple, right? Many of us thing that we have the answer and well, if the “remedy” doesn’t really remedy the problem, then it’s not the answer.
Let’s move on. Here are some useful, temporary treatments that will give actual relief. Even though they clearly must not be deemed yeast infection remedies for reasons that were discussed previously, they deserve to be mentioned. These are not long-term yeast infection remedies, though. Try:
Yogurt. Look for plain, no sugar, no additives, no coloring, and one that’s not heat-treated. Spread a little amount on the infected area, and let it sit for about an hour. A soothing relief will be felt. The reason why yogurt is considered to be one of the best remedies for yeast infection is because it has good friendly bacteria that helps to fight against your infection.
Tea tree oil is yet another powerful yeast infection remedy. Why? Because it’s a powerful antifungal agent, it kills bacteria, as well as it rejuvenates skin.
See to it that you dilute it. Tea tree oil is very potent. It may not be considered as one of the long-term cures because it is only temporary, but it’s very useful. Given that it’s natural, you need not worry about long term damage to your internal system, mind you. So remember that as you look at your natural yeast infection remedies for long-term relief.

Why not start with the home saliva test for candida? It won’t cost you anything and then perhaps you won’t be so insecure about the lab tests which are more specific.
This isn’t foolproof but it might help as a starting point.
1. Before going to bed tonight fill a clear glass about 3/4 full of water – leave it out on a flat surface
2. Tomorrow morning as soon as you get up – spit into the glass before you do anything else.
3. Watch the glass immediately so that you can track the saliva,
4. Make a mental note of the glass image at 3 minutes and again at 30 minutes. Your saliva should be floating at the top of the glass.
5. If it is not floating, if there are strings of saliva hanging down, it it sinks to the bottom it is not healthy. If the water is cloudy, you could have candida.
Okay so if it floats, is not heavier than the water, you are fine, if not, you should be tested. No, there is little that can interfere with testing unless you are trying cleanses on your own. Even then, the presence of candida will be found.
You already know that there are a few different types of tests beginning with a stool sample so you might want to take one with you – well packaged, please.
There is also a blood test to determine the antibodies present which offers a clue as to type of infection.
You might be most helped by a throat culture because once the culture is grown, the type can be determined. This is the way I would go if I were you.
They can also do a tissue biopsy if the infection is systemic – what it will determine is the spread of the candida. This wouldn’t necessarily be done at a first appointment.
You already know that you do not want to leave this condition untreated because it can become systemic and cause even more severe symptoms than those which you are already experiencing.
Your next concern is what kind of approach to take for treatment.
