Fungal infections plague a good number of people, and they are not only uncomfortable; they can be stubborn to clear up, too. The subject of fungal infections in general and yeast infections in particular has gotten a lot of attention lately, and as fungal infections seem less and less responsive to conventional treatment, herbal remedies are being explored.
Thankfully, there are some very effective herbs treatments to fight fungus naturally. Here are some of them.
Apple Cider Vinegar
While a bit smelly, apple cider vinegar is a powerful antifungal. For athlete’s foot, you can soak your feet in a diluted apple cider vinegar solution several times a day, and/or you can “paint” the affected area with a cotton ball or swab soaked in apple cider vinegar.
For internal infections, apple cider vinegar can be consumed several times a day. It’s strong stuff – you will probably want to dilute it with water and sweeten it with raw honey or stevia, but avoid sugar sweetening. Sugar is said to worsen yeast infections, since yeast thrive on it.
Sources also point out that diluted apple cider vinegar can also be used as a douche to cure vaginal yeast infections.
Look for raw, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar, as it has the most active constituents.
