Herbal Remedies for Yeast Infection 

This article explains herbal remedies for yeast infection, their symptoms and their causes. Microorganisms are ubiquitous; they can be found almost everywhere, from clothes to food, skin and even the internal parts of our body. More often than not, these microorganisms inside the body are not harmful. Some – like those in the intestinal tract – are even beneficial. A problem usually arises when these organisms multiply and spread uncontrollably. They are then capable of causing diseases; this is the case with female yeast infections.

What is female yeast infection?

It is a fungal infection that mainly occurs in the vagina of females, leading to swellings in the vulva, the sensitive skin surrounding the vagina. It can also cause whitish vaginal discharge. It is a common infection that occurs in the lifetime of 3 out of 4 women, with more than half of these women having more than one infection.

Symptoms of Female Yeast Infection

The symptoms of this infection include itching and burning sensation around the vulva and inside the vagina, whitish vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese, painful intercourse and swelling in the vulva.

Causes of Female Yeast Infection 

The condition is caused by the following:

•    Fungus: A fungus known as Candida is the leading cause of female yeast infection. It is usually found on the skin surface and inside the vagina but in small numbers, controlled by the acidic level of the vagina. When the acid level is high, it keeps the fungal population in check. But a reduction in the acidic level results in an increase in the fungal population resulting in female yeast infection.     

•    Menstruation: During the menstrual cycle, there is a fluctuation in hormonal levels, which leads to a reduction in the acidic level of the vagina. It creates a suitable environment for the growth of Candida.

•    Pregnancy: Another condition that makes it favourable for the outbreak of female yeast infection is pregnancy. The hormonal changes during this period also favour an increase in the yeast population.

•    Medications: Certain drugs also alter the balance of acidity in the vagina. These mainly include birth control pills and steroids.  

Herbal remedies for yeast infection and options

Yeast infections may not present severe symptoms but may cause serious discomfort and other complications if left untreated. Herbal remedies for yeast infection and some other effective treatment methods are as follows:

•    Hygiene: A dirty and moist environment can encourage fungus growth. It is advisable to keep good toilet habits and avoid using deodorants and sprays in the vaginal area. Don’t use coloured or perfumed toilet paper. Keep panties clean and change them daily, especially during menstruation. Remove swimsuits and other damp clothing promptly,

•    Medicines: Other types of medicines can be prescribed besides herbal remedies for yeast infection. A common one is miconazole inserted into the vagina to balance its acidic environment and fungal population. 

•    Herbs: Herbal remedies for yeast infections are becoming popular due to their effectiveness. Herbal creams can be rob around the vulva to stop swellings and irritations. Herbal extracts are also available to correct hormonal imbalance, keep a healthy acidic level in the vagina and rid the body of any associated infections and complications.
