Treating a yeast infection with yogurt is so easy that you'll wonder why you didn't try it sooner! Yogurt-the natural probiotic kind-has anti-fungal properties that make it able to effectively kill off yeast.
And since it is all natural it is safe to use no matter where the rash pops up! Things like diaper rash, jock itch and athlete's foot are all skin yeast infections and then there are the ones that most of us are familiar with- the vaginal variety.
Yup, yogurt can be used there too! Treating a yeast infection with yogurt is easy.
Here's what you do; For Skin Rashes You simply take the yogurt and apply it right to the skin.
If you do it straight from the fridge it'll feel great on the hot and itchy skin or rash.
Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly before and especially after to avoid spreading it to other body parts.
For Vaginal Infections You can apply it to the skin on the outer part of the vagina to help relieve the discomfort and itch and you can also apply it to the inside.
While some women are fine doing it with their fingers, others may find a tidier approach a little more appealing.
Just dip a tampon in the yogurt, let it cook in the fridge or freezer until firm and then insert before bed.
I recommend wearing a pad or panty liner because some of the yogurt will make its way back out when it's finished doing the job.
For Prevention All you need to do is add some probiotic yogurt to your diet to help keep your body's yeast in check and prevent future infections.
Treating this disease with yogurt is that easy!
