However, most of these medications only mask the infection and never really cures the infection. In order to get rid of it you will need to naturally treat the yeast infection.

Before we get into how to treat the infection, we will need to know first how it starts. The problem starts with the unusual growth of the bacteria Candida Albicans. Usually the infection begins when there is an imbalance in our body; the imbalance throws off our body's natural metabolism, thus creating a favorable environment for the infection to grow. So now you see that topical medications cannot cure the infection and in fact may just worsen it.

As you can now observe you can only remove the infection naturally by bringing back our bodies' natural metabolism. In order to treat the infection we can use different natural methods like the ones below.

Alter your diet - sometimes it is not what we do that triggers the infection, most of the time it is what we take in to our bodies. One big dietary change you can do to create a yeast infection free body is to take in more fiber, like oatmeal and leafy vegetable.
