Have you ever heard the old wives tale that one of the best ways to get rid of thrush is with a yogurt yeast infection treatment? If, like me, you thought this method of curing thrush was a complete waste of time, you may have missed out on one of the friendliest ways to combat the irritating medical complaint! Before you disregard it once again, let me let you in on a little secret...
Remember how the only way to get rid of the itching, the pain and the burning sensation of a yeast infection was to use an ice pack wrapped in a towel? Well, the yogurt yeast infection treatment works in exactly the same way but with a few other benefits alongside it.
If you use the yogurt straight from the fridge, it helps to provide relief, admittedly only short term, for the uncomfortable and unpleasant symptoms of thrush.
However, alongside this, if you use a plain, natural yogurt then the friendly bacteria present helps to fight off the increasing amounts of the bacteria Candida, the one that causes thrush, and therefore helps to balance everything out.
This is not to say that you can bypass your prescribed treatment for this one but you can use it at the same time to soothe the symptoms and also speed up the treatment process.
The yogurt yeast infection treatment has been used successfully by many women for hundreds of years and it makes sense to try it out.
After all, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain and if this old wives tale is still in circulation there is a very high chance that it will work its magic for you.
So, before you scream with irritation because nothing has worked, try the yogurt yeast infection treatment and you might get a pleasant surprise! (Or at least a couple of hours of comfort.
