Yeast infections are a nasty problem, with treatments that are often sticky, messy and expensive. For those who desire a more natural approach to treating yeast infections, yogurt may be the key. When used properly, yogurt can both treat and prevent future yeast infections, according to treatment-for-yeast-infection.biz.
Step 1
Make a yogurt tampon. Dip a tampon into plain, sugarless yogurt with live cultures for 10 to 15 minutes. Insert the tampon into the vagina, as would be done with menstruation.
Step 2
Leave the tampon in for a few hours in order to see optimal results. During this time, consider lying down in order to prevent leakage. You may also want to wear a pad to catch any leakage.
Step 3
For those who feel uncomfortable wearing a tampon, use a syringe or turkey baster to insert the yogurt. A pad may be especially useful for women who use this method, as yogurt leakage will most be more likely.
Step 4
Eat plain, sugarless yogurt with live cultures. This helps to maintain a steady stream of healthy bacteria in your body and will be useful in preventing further yeast infections.
