Many women suffer from from yeast infections such as vaginal thrush. The condition is caused by an overgrowth of a type of yeast fungus that is naturally present in the vagina. The symptoms of this include swelling of the area around the vagina, soreness and irritation and a watery or creamy white discharge. Although it is possible to purchase over the counter remedies these can occasionally cause side effects and can be expensive. Many women find that an effective alternative to these is to use home treatments made of ingredients often found around around the home.

It is generally recommended that women should consult a doctor when experiencing a yeast infection for the first time so that a proper diagnosis can be made. The vast majority of yeast infections are caused by a type of fungus known as Candida Albicans. It is reported that around fifty per cent of women have Candida naturally present without it causing any symptoms.
Yeast infections are thought to be caused by a change in the natural conditions of the vagina. This altering of conditions can lead to an explosion in the growth of Candida that causes the symptoms of this condition. Reasons for the change could be chemical related, taking antibiotics sometimes affects conditions. Alternatively it might be caused by hormonal changes in the body, perhaps as a result of pregnancy or the menopause.
There are many alternative home therapies that can successfully treat a yeast infection. Olive oils contain important anti fungal properties which are thought to fight the infection by cutting off oxygen supplies to the yeast. Women often combine these oils with tea tree essential oil which is known for its anti fungal and antibacterial properties.
Combining these two home remedies helps to dilute the tea tree oils which tend to be quite strong. Many women choose to apply olive oils around the area to help soothe the irritation of this yeast infection. Tampons can also be soaked in these oils before adding a few drops of tea tree to the tampon and inserting in the vagina. Alternatively a mixture of these two ingredients can be applied to the area twice a day.
Garlic has long been used as a way of treating yeast infections. An alternative home treatment is to insert a clove of garlic into the vagina and leave it there for three or four hours. It is often useful to cover the garlic in extra virgin oils before putting it into the vagina as it can be quite concentrated.
