Yogurt

Yeast infections are very bothersome and are uncomfortable and here is an effective natural home remedy for that yeast infection.  Simply dip a tampon in yogurt and insert this into the vagina twice daily.  This should be done until symptoms are gone, plus one additional day after all symptoms have subsided.  Be sure that before you use this home remedy, you have been diagnosed with a yeast infection.  This is a wonderful natural cure for a yeast infection, but if you have a bacterial infection, this home remedy will only make the infection worse.  Be sure that you are treating your infection properly.  If you have a Candida yeast infection, this home remedy is especially helpful and you should also add yogurt to your diet as well.  You'll find that this is a very effective yeast infection natural cure.

Tea Tree Oil

If you're suffering from a yeast infection, try this great natural cure.  Simply add a few drops of diluted tea tree oil to a tampon, then insert it into the vagina.  This can provide some wonderful relief to you if you're suffering from this uncomfortable infection.  Before attempting this wonderful natural cure, be sure to dilute to the tea tree oil, as it's very potent and can irritate the vagina, so be sure that you use either olive or sweet almond oil to dilute the potent tea tree oil.  Tea tree oil is a wonderful natural cure because of its antifungal properties.  Not only will it help with itching, but it can control the yeast infection as well.  Because some women have adverse reactions to tea tree oil, be sure to consult your doctor before using this natural remedy.  This is also a wonderful natural cure for men that suffer from yeast infections as well.

Garlic Paste as Yeast Infection Home Remedy

Yeast infections do not always affect the vagina.  If you find that you have a yeast infection elsewhere, try using garlic paste.  This is an excellent natural remedy for yeast infections.  Be sure not to use this for a vaginal yeast infection, as it is not the best remedy for that.  If you don't have fresh garlic around that you can make into a paste, simply mix Vitamin E oil with coconut oil and mix with garlic oil.  It is important that you dilute garlic oil as it is very potent and can irritate the skin and any infected areas that you are trying to treat.  Vitamin E and coconut oils are the best choices to dilute the garlic oil with because the coconut oil provides lots of fatty acids to keep the infection from spreading while the Vitamin E oil will fortify the area and the skin and make the area stronger.  Garlic paste is great for treating yeast infections, and can be used simultaneously with other natural cures to help expedite the healing process.

Cinnamon & Coconut Oil

Men and women can both be affected with yeast infections.  Fortunately, these can be cleared up naturally using great home remedies.  To treat them at home, try mixing cold cinnamon or coconut oil and apply to the infected areas.  This should be done anywhere between two to three times a day to reap the best benefits of these anti-fungal oils.  You'll find that the yeast will be killed instantly and you'll also find that this is a wonderfully effect natural treatment for yeast infections.

Vinegar Sitz Bath

Yeast infections can be treated using a great home remedy of a sitz bath with vinegar.  This helps with the itching and the skin irritation that comes with a yeast infection.  Simply add some vinegar to a hot bath and soak for a while to stop the growth of yeast and to balance the body's pH level.

To avoid yeast infections, you'll want to try some great home remedies that are preventative measures.  The best thing that you can do is to try not to wear tight underwear.  Always wear undergarments that are made of cotton, and not any synthetic materials.  Try to avoid wearing panty hose, leggings and jeans daily, as these can really irritate the body.

Another great way to keep yeast infections at bay is to avoid using femine products that have fragrances or deodorizers added to them.  This should also be done during a yeast infection, as the added fragrance tends to irritate the area.  This is a wonderful home remedy for yeast infections and will really help the infection to clear up quickly.

Another great home cure for yeast infections is to be sure to change out of wet clothes immediately.  Any body parts that were wet and confined in the wet clothes should be dried immediately when changing into dry clothes.

Cornstarch & Baking Soda

Soak in a hot tub with 1 cup of cornstarch and half a cup of baking soda added to the water.  This will relieve the itching.

Boric Acid

Buy non-gelatin capsules and fill them with boric acid.  Place one of these in your vagina the length of your fingers at night when going to bed.  Repeat this until all the yeast infection is gone.  I have not ever had to do this more than two nights and I get really bad infections.  This really works great and it can also be done when pregnant.  This is one really good natural home remedy for a yeast infection

Garlic Home Remedy for Yeast Infections

One home remedy I like for yeast infections is to crush a clove of garlic, wrap it in some gauze and then put it into your vagina.  The crushed garlic is too strong without the gauze and could cause blistering if left too long.  Garlic is a potent anti microbial. 

***

Make yourself a hot bubble bath with a dishwashing soap that is plain and unscented.  You can get this at the health food store.  The soap has an ingredient called tryclosan and it will give you instantaneous relief from the awful itching.  This will not cure your yeast infection but it will give you some relief.

***

Take a probiotic to increase the good bacteria that our body lives with.  Take garlic capsules and avoid sugar.  Eat yogurt with garlic and acidophilus in it.

***

We all know douching frequently is not a good practice.  However, it can be done every now and then as long as it is done with the right ingredients. Make a douche with one teaspoon of rubbing alcohol and 1 teaspoon of tea tree oil in a pint of distilled water.  You have to stir it well just before douching because the oil and water will try to separate.  Tea tree oil is really good for yeast infections and alcohol will kill the yeast plants growing in you. 

***

If you have a yeast infection or feel that you are on the verge of one, drink eight ounces of Aloe Vera Juice. This is also a good tonic for the intestinal tract and it will relieve mild constipation.

***

Epsom Salts

A great home remedy for pesky yeast infections – Draw a hot tub of water about a foot deep and sit there for 20 minutes.  To water add a cup of Epsom salts and a cup of vinegar. 

***

When the yeast infection comes calling and you are not able to get to the doctor at that time and need to stop the itching and burning, eat plain yogurt.  Be sure the yogurt has live culture or it won’t work.  This will not stop the infection but it will make you more comfortable in about an hour.  I also will take plain yogurt when I have taken oral medication for my yeast infection because it can take some time for that to take effect.

***

Insert Garlic Clove

A good yeast infection home remedy is to peel a clove of garlic and then put it in your vagina about as far as the fingers can reach.  Replace the garlic clove with a new one righ before going to bed.  Repeat this for several days. To remove the garlic clove, push hard like you’re having a bowel movement. This always works.

***

Honey

Spread a liberal amount of honey all over the external parts of your vagina.  Wait 15 or 20 minutes and wash it off with warm water.

***

Neutrogena Soap

For a period of about 2 years I would have yeast infections twice a month.  I found a home remedy on the internet.  Every night when taking a shower, was with Original Neutrogena unscented bar type face soap.  Wash your vaginal area with this soap regularly and it will definitely help.  I had really gone through a lot of home remedies like garlic and pills.  Once I started using the soap, I went a year without having a yeast infection. 

***

When you get a yeast infection take two garlic capsules four times a day.  If you will do this, then in about three days it will be gone.  I promise it has worked for every woman I have gotten to try it.  The capsules won’t make your breath smell bad either.
