5 Popular Yeast Infection Home Remedies

You can develop yeast infections around dentures

, under the breast, vagina and lower abdomen, nailbeds, and beneath skin folds. Yeast infections tend to become more common with increased age, but can occur at any age and are known to cause vagina odors.

The good bacteria in plain yogurt helps fight yeast and yogurt can be used both internally and externally. BUT, be sure you buy plain, unsweetened yogurt. Since sugar feeds yeast, this is a crucial point. You can also make your own, using a yogurt starter. I have done this myself and it is simple and the results are quite good. The advantage is that you can use other types of milk, such as soy or almond. While I made mine directly on the stovetop, you can also purchase a yogurt maker, if you want to take the thinking out of the process. Whether purchased or homemade, yogurt is a great thing to eat before meals because it provides "good bacteria" for your stomach to aid in digestion.

Tea Tree Oil This is a natural healing essential oil that has some quite amazing properties, the key one for a yeast infection being anti-fungal. It is a potent essential oil though so needs to be diluted or mixed with another oil or substance. Examples are other oils such as Olive or even with rubbing alcohol. Mix them together in several dropper bottles and apply daily for at least 7 days to treat the yeast infection.

If seeking a homeopathic yeast infection treatment, you can try Kreosotum. This product is also called Beechwood Kreosote.

This remedy is used for dealing with vulvular swelling, inflammation, and itchiness. It also helps in alleviating vaginal soreness and burning. Kreosotum may also alleviate the mood swings that some people endure when dealing with a Candida infection.

People have been using apple cider vinegar as a cure for many ailments for years, so its no surprise that it can also be used as a cure for yeast infections. Apple cider vinegar has many antibacterial and antifungal properties that make it a better multi-purpose cure than regular white vinegar. Soaking in a warm bath that contains a cup of apple cider vinegar for around twenty minutes should do the trick.

Acidophilus comes in caplets that can be dissolved in water, under the tongue, swallowed or used internally in the vagina. You can purchase acidophilus at your local drugstore or health food store. Purchase acidophilus that contains 1 to 2 billion CFU, which stands for "Colony Forming Unit." Take two caplets a day with a full glass of water, then place two caplets internally into your vagina with your fingers. The caplet will dissolve and the cultures present in the acidophilus will fight the yeast forming in the vagina.
