Yeast Infection? Avoid Douching and Feminine Deodorants

Did you realize that almost 50% of us are walking around at any given time with yeast in our bodies? Although this seems like a shocking number, the simple fact of the matter is that there is nothing unnatural about this. What is unnatural is whenever that yeast grows to the extent where it becomes an infection and at that point, we begin to notice the negative effect that too many yeast spores in our body can have on us. Overcoming the yeast infection is not too difficult if you do it in a natural way but there are some things that you should avoid doing in order not to irritate the problem further.

There are a lot of different symptoms that may occur as a result of the vaginal yeast infection that we are experiencing. Itching, burning and an unpleasant odor are included in those symptoms. In order to combat the problem, we often want to get rid of the outward signs that we may be experiencing, such as unpleasant vaginal odor even before we are interested in getting rid of the itching and burning that it may be causing. There are a number of different products on the market which can help with this problem but some caution needs to be taken.

Feminine deodorants, although they do help to get rid of the odor to a certain extent are a product that we must absolutely avoid if we have yeast infections. The same is also true of any of the douches that are on the market. The reason why this is the case is because they contain chemicals that actually become an irritant whenever we have a yeast infection. Instead of helping ourselves to overcome the problem, they may actually be making it worse by making us more uncomfortable in the process.

Instead of using feminine deodorants or douching, you might want to consider using a little bit of garlic to overcome the problem. Inserting an all natural garlic tab into the vagina not only gives you almost immediate relief from the uncomfortable feelings that you may be experiencing, it also helps to reduce the odor in the area to a large extent. You might also want to try some all natural yogurt as it has much the same effect. It is just another way of using something that is available in nature to overcome the problem that we are experiencing.
