According to a Research Study conducted in Japan by Masatomo Hirasawa and Kazuko Takada, green tea is an effective way to counteract yeast infections.

In fact, there are many things you can do to ward off yeast infections:

• Limit the amount of sweets you eat
• Drink organic green tea

• Eat a live-culture yogurt

Sugar can cause chronic yeast infections because take longer to break down in your body, instead use brown sugar or honey, thereby lessening the amount of circulating blood sugar.

Avoid foods that are "yeasty" such as bread, mushrooms, and alcoholic beverages. Studies have shown that avoiding these types of foods for three to six months will often notice a significant improvement.

Drinking warm green tea before you start your day and throughout the day, will not only clean your whole system but provide a very relaxing mood as well.

Green tea is a known natural remedy for yeast infection, the polyphenols in green tea have been shown to inhibit many other bacteria capable of causing infections, also protects against disease-causing microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract, and promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine.
