I attribute this to more and more people doing their homework and understanding the benefits of using a natural remedy for their yeast infection.

So it really is no surprise that more and more people, especially women a turning towards the more effective yeast infection remedies to put an end to their pain and suffering from their vagina infections.
There are no down sides, only up sides to a natural yeast infection remedy. Below are some tips that you can start using today to put an end to your yeast infection suffering.
Clothing and Hygiene
If you have a yeast infection or to keep from getting an infection you should wear loose clothing. You should also avoid wearing clothes made of synthetic fibers.
You should either wear cotton underwear or no underwear at all whenever you can. The goal here is to keep the outside of the vaginal area as ventilated and dry as possible. Yeast grows and thrives in warm, moist areas of the body.
Some people do not realize it but yeast infections are transferable from one person to another. Due to this fact, you should avoid exposure as much as possible. You should not share public showers, baths and whirlpools in places like the YMCA and your local gym. You should not share towels just to be sure you do not get an infection from someone else.
If you are using condoms during sexual intercourse you should not use a condom with nonoxynol-9 lubricant. Nonoxynol-9 has been found to actually cause vagina infections. There are plenty of different condoms with other type of lubricants. You should wear a condom if you are having sexual intercourse with a partner that has a yeast infection.
You should eliminate the use perfumed soaps and oils as these items can potentially cause a vagina infection. These type of products can kill the good bacteria in and on your body. Killing the good bacteria leaves you open for the bad bacteria to overgrow and develop into a yeast infection.

Adding garlic to your diet by way of adding it to the food you eat daily will help to getting your infection cured.
