8 Safe Home Remedies For Yeast Infections

The increase in the Candida bacteria is caused when the body's natural balance of these bacteria is disrupted causing the Candida bacteria to multiply which manifests itself in what is commonly known as the Yeast Infection. So while most everyone would recommend somehow seeing a doctor to treat your yeast infection, I'm going to give you a few home remedies that might help your situation.

Boric acid is also considered as a natural cure for yeast infection. However one needs to be extra cautious while using boric acid as it is toxic and can cause irritation and burning.

A garlic suppository can be made by peeling one clove, wrapping it in gauze, and inserting it into the vagina. Or you can insert potassium sorbate that has been diluted with water.

Although treating the immediate infected area with tea tree oil has yet to be proven officially safe and/or effective, there are a lot of people talking about it. Many people have reported that treating your yeast infection with tea tree oil (available in diluted forms for this purpose) is quite effective and safe. Proceed at your own risk, of course.

Apple cider vinegar is a great home remedy for vaginal infection! However, using apple cider vinegar alone won't cure candida completely, and some people respond better to vinegar than others.

You can get this powder at a pharmacy without a prescription, but you will probably need to pack it in an empty gelatin capsule yourself.

We all know that cranberry juice is one of the most common home treatments for urinary tract infections, but guess what? It lowers the pH level of your urine, which will help kill off a yeast infection because urine will obviously pass over some of your infected parts on its way out of your body. This is considered a more mild treatment, and best used in combination with other home remedies.

Certain yogurts can be very helpful to you as a natural home remedy for yeast infections. But you must use these on a regular basis, and it is only weakening the infection. It may eventually come back.
