Treating Yeast Infections With Boric Acid?

When treating yeast infections, you will see a lot of debate on whether boric acid is suitable to clear a yeast infection.

For the people that don’t support the use of Boric acid, one of the main concerns is that it is mostly used as an insecticide to kill pests. This immediately makes you think it will be poisonous and harmful to your body.

This treatment IS toxic and shouldn’t be taken orally. If ingested it can damage the stomach lining and internal organs – that’s how powerful it is.

The way it’s used for a yeast infection is to insert it into the vagina in a capsule form. The capsule dissolves releasing boric acid to control the pH balance of the vagina to get it back to a balanced state.

A side effect from using boric acid in this way is that it can cause burning and irritation. Some people advise that the burning and irritation can be minimised by taking a vitamin e capsule or oil.

Even though this remedy has helped some sufferers of this condition, it’s not without it’s risks which is why I’d recommend other safer natural treatments which can get rid of your yeast infection at the root.

Treating Yeast Infections With A Garlic Cure?

treating-yeast-infectionsGarlic has properties that are reported to soothe and kill bacteria that’s why some people suggest that it could be a good cure for treating yeast infections.

For a vaginal yeast infection, garlic oil is used for the outside and garlic cloves are used for the inside.

First thing I noticed was the added burning sensation. I couldn’t believe I was actually doing something that was making the burning worse. It did dampen the symptoms which is why I think some people praise this method.

After research, I found that all garlic really does is possibly treat the symptoms but it doesn’t remove the root cause of the yeast infection which is what you need if you want to prevent recurrent infections.

Treating Yeast Infections For Good

There are quite a lot of choice when it comes to treating yeast infections.  I’ve had so much experience when it comes to all the different types of cures suggested for this condition.  This includes popular medication like pills and creams, natural remedies and homemade solutions.

The main thing you’ll notice in my next posts is that although certain remedies appear to work at first they really only remove the symptoms.  That means that they leave behind traces of the yeast infection which can flare up whenever the conditions are right for it to thrive and grow.

That’s the main problem I faced when trying to get rid of my yeast infection.  It would seem like it was gone completely and then it would come back again and again. I suffered from recurrent yeast infections for a long time until I found a suitable cure. I hope my advice can help you.
