Home Remedy For a Yeast Infection

Home remedy for yeast infection – are you looking for a way to treat your yeast infection with things that you can do from the comfort (and privacy) of your home. Did you know that you can get some relief from the painful burning sensation from sores and blisters that someone with a severe yeast infection can get? So, look around and gather a few things from your refrigerator. Grab the yogurt and lemon juice. Open your cupboard and get out some vinegar and olive oil. And let’s get started with some yeast fungus infection home remedies.

Yogurt as a home remedy for yeast infection

You can apply yogurt for a vaginal yeast infection by soaking a tampon in yogurt, inserting it into your vagina and leaving it in overnight. The lactobacillus acidophilus that is present in the yogurt contains good bacteria that rebalances the pH in the vagina. Lower levels of acidity help to reduce and eliminate the candida fungus. This remedy should be repeated nightly until the symptoms subside. Another remedy including yogurt is to create a douching solution using water and yogurt. Place the solution into a squeeze bottle and spray directly in and around the vaginal cavity.

Vinegar as a home remedy for yeast infection

Create a douching solution containing one tablespoon of vinegar (you could also use apple cider vinegar if you have it on hand) for a quart of water. Use this solution to douche once per day. You can also take warm bath where a cup of vinegar is added to the warm water to provide some relief from any burning sensation or painful sores or lesions.

Lemon juice as a home remedy for yeast infection

One of the most effective remedies you can use to fight candida is lemon juice. Drink a half cup of lemon juice twice daily. Make sure, however that you rinse your mouth out after each ‘drink’ to protect the acid from the lemon juice to harm the enamel on your teeth. In addition, you can also create a lemon juice douche to help with yeast infection relief. The acid in the lemon can naturally combat yeast growth and other bacteria in and around the vagina. Make sure that the amount of lemon juice added to the water to make the douche doesn’t sting too much. If you find that it is more painful to douche with the lemon solution than not, try to dilute the solution – as it can be a very effective treatment.
