Yeast infections inflict a whitish discharge and tenacious itching. This causes the sufferer discomfort, to be sure. However there are times when this infection doesn't just itch: it burns too.
For women, yeast infections are reported most often just before the menstrual cycle begins. Fluctuation of estrogen in the body can cause this infection so it makes sense that this pest would be more likely to take place during a certain time of the month.
Women are not alone in their yeast infection woes. Men also get candida on their genital area. Moreover, this fungus can erupt on the skin causing a rash, or worse, in the mouth. This infection is most likely to occur in areas where moisture accumulates and there is a lack of oxygen such as under the breasts, between the cheeks of the buttocks, and wherever skin may fold.
Home remedies can help—before pursuing a home remedy, talk to your doctor first. There are many variables out there for foods and other home remedies reacting with ailments, or with medication.
Peppermint. Oil of peppermint is extremely soothing to a burning yeast infection. The cooling sensation brought on by this oil brings great relief to the itching and burning of a yeast infection. Capsules are available to take that can also reduce internal inflammations caused by candida. Though not a potent antifungal, peppermint does have antifungal properties that assist in staving off yeast.
Tea tree oil. This powerful antifungal and antibacterial agent makes an excellent weapon against yeast infections. Many who use it report that it gives nearly instant relief to the sufferer, particularly if the person is also experiencing burning during urination.
Aloe. If you have thrush, aloe mixed with peppermint and tea tree oil makes a great mouth wash. If your yeast infection happens to be on your genitals, a mixture of these three can also be applied topically to add relief. For women, use the mixture on a bath tissue each time using the restroom. For men, apply topically to the infected area.
This solution also works great for candida infections on the skin and rashes under the breast. Add 1-2 drops of peppermint and tea tree oil for every ounce of aloe if used topically. For use as a mouthwash, dilute the solution as it will be a little strong. Also, be sure to use food grade aloe when applying topically or using as a mouthwash. Aloe used as after-sun lotion contains additives that would not be good to place in your mouth.
Note that food grade aloe and peppermint oil can be taken internally but tea tree oil should not be swallowed. If you have an internal yeast infection, stick with peppermint capsules and food grade aloe.
