More and more people when it comes to finding a yeast infection treatment prefer to go the natural route rather than use drug based ones.
Along with it being cheaper to treat a yeast infection using natural methods the chances of suffering unwanted side effects is reduced.
Also you will find that if you choose to use natural remedies for a yeast infection treatment these deal with the underlying cause rather than the symptoms only.
The kinds of natural things that many use today in order to treat this type of infection include tea tree oil, garlic and natural yogurt.
However in this article we take a look at the ways you can use garlic in order to treat an infection caused through the growth of too much yeast in your body.
Method 1 - If the infection is visible say under your arm pit or around the outer area of your vagina take a peeled clove which has been finely crushed and then apply directly to the area infected.
Method 2 - Should the infection be within the vagina a woman should make up a suppository which is inserted into the vagina each night.
To make the necessary suppository again take one clove of peeled garlic which you then place into some muslin before tying the end up and inserting into the vagina.
You must continue to use this method of treating a yeast infection until the inflammation and itchiness caused by the excess of yeast has been eliminated.
Method 3 - Although you may not feel like doing it but eating raw not cooked garlic is another way of helping to get rid of a yeast infection.
Unfortunately eating cooked garlic will ensure that a lot of the antifungal properties of this food have been removed.
