Home Remedies for Yeast Infection


Yeast infections appear in several different forms, but one thing in common of all forms is that they are affecting adult females. The root of this infection, according to the medical experts is the bacteria Candida Albicans. Yeast infection occurs when there is an imbalance of yeast in the female's vagina. It should be mentioned that some antibiotic or birth control pills can trigger bacteria unbalance, which can lead to a yeast infection. Also, wearing tight underwear or tight pants can also increase the possibility of developing the yeast infection. This is from a reason that the tight underwear or pants are not giving enough space for the skin to breath. There are many different pills on the market that can help in the battle and prevention of yeast infection, but there are also some cheap natural home remedies that can be very effective in the treatment of yeast infections.


  • Yoghurt: From all natural home remedies for yeast infection, yoghurt is probably the most effective one. Apply the yoghurt in the infected parts and leaves it for at least couple of hours. Yoghurt has bacteria that battles the yeast bacteria and replace it. You should repeat this at least couple times per day, until the yeast infection is completely healed.

  • Aloe Vera: Aloe Vera provides a relief from the redness and the irritation on the affected areas.
  • Garlic: It kills the harmful bacteria found in the yeast infection. No matter whether you are eating it or applying it on the infected places - the results are pretty similar. Also have in mind that garlic should only be externally applied, never internally.
  • Vinegar: Mix salt and half a cup of vinegar into a hot water before you take a bath, and then sit or lay into the water for at least half an hour. The results can be very positive, as the vinegar has some helpful ingredients. 
  • Cranberries: They are also very effective home remedy. They help in cleaning body from dangerous toxins.
  • Tea tree oil: The oil should be applied on the infected parts. If there is yeast on the vagina, then dip the tampon in the tea tree oil and replace the tampon inside for at least few hours for better results.

  • Coconut oil: It is a natural remedy and very helpful in the treatment of yeast infection. There is no need for you to apply it onto the part that are affected; you can just use it for cooking food and direct consumption.



All of these home remedies can be very effective in the battle and the soothing of yeast infection, but you should always think about how to prevent the yeast infection from ever happening. One very good way for prevention of yeast infection is to take one or two glasses of buttermilk daily, regardless whether you have the infection or not. Buttermilk will keep a good balance of healthy bacteria in your body, which will make it harder for the yeast infection to develop.
