Easy Coconut Oil Hacks To Treat Yeast Infection
Listed in this article are a few of the best ways to use coconut oil for yeast infection. Check them out.
It is the season of the rains. A respite from the scorching sun. The rains bring a lot of relief to plants and trees. They bloom to the fullest in the rain, and it washes away the dirt accumulated during the summer season. Animals also welcome the rain; we see ponds and lakes overflowing with water.
But rainy season can disrupt our everyday lives. Daily commute between home and office becomes difficult due to the constant downpour. Chances of falling sick also increase. However, the biggest problem people face in the monsoon season is because of increase in moisture content in the atmosphere.
Remember how our elders used to dry every food item before storing it to preserve it for long? That's because moisture content in food becomes a breeding area for fungus, which spoils the food. Even damp clothes when kept inside the cupboard, start developing fungus because fungus can live almost everywhere.
The same happens with the human body. High moisture in different areas like the skin or vagina, can cause yeast infection. Although your immune system keeps a check on the yeast growth, it multiplies when you are sick and are on antibiotics.
Yeast infection can affect different body parts. Doctors do prescribe different anti-fungal medicines but it may not work for all.
This article will give you an insight into how to treat various fungal infections using coconut oil.
Coconut oil is a perfect remedy to treat all kinds of yeast infections because it is high in three ingredients namely, lauric, capric and caprylic acid which have antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties. These compounds target harmful bacteria while leaving friendly bacteria. It is also an anti-oxidant, which is effective in killing yeasts and other fungal growth in the body.

Although these remedies mention external use of coconut oil for the treatment of yeast infection, intake of coconut oil on a regular basis will help speed up the process.
Adding a moderate amount of coconut oil to your diet is considered safe as it contains unrefined fats which are easily converted into energy and do not end up getting stored in the body. Also, yeast thrives on sugar. So avoid sugar in your diet to get rid of the infection.
