This is a common problem amongst women that get regular yeast infections. Almost 3 out of every 4 women will experience at least one episode of vaginal infections in their lifetime but many will suffer recurrent yeast infections.

The garlic that you would require for this infection home remedy should be fresh and NOT processed. You can get the garlic from your local grocery stores but just make sure that it is FRESH. Fresh garlic is the key to this yeast infection home remedy.

Yogurt is a top choice for many women when they have an infection. I am not talking about eating yogurt but applying it directly to the infection. Yogurt has Lactobacillus Acidophilus in its ingredients, which is found in a healthy vagina. There are a few ways that are commonly used to apply yogurt to the infected area. The first is freezing the yogurt and inserting it into the vagina like you would a tampon. The second is using a syringe that does not have a needle on it to apply the yogurt into the vagina. The third is to coat a tampon in the yogurt and insert the tampon into the vagina.

Garlic is best for non-vaginal symptoms. Apply garlic paste directly to the affected areas. If fresh garlic is not available, dilute garlic oil with Vitamin E oil and a few drops of coconut oil and apply this blend to the affected skin.

A Mixture of olive leaf extract with grape fruit seed extract in a glass of water is also a good potent tonic for this infection.

Probiotics: These bacterium are found in the vaginal area and the digestive tract. Probiotics prohibit the growth of harmful bacteria, including the excessive formation of the yeast fungi. This form of treatment comes as a vaginal suppository or an oral supplement.

You may get rid of a yeast infection by utilizing apple cider vinegar. Adding a cup of apple cider vinegar to your bathwater before you get in the bath will help cleanse the area. You need to remember, though, that this vinegar should not go on the area itself.

Another way to treat this type of infection is through using plain unsweetened yogurt. It is important to use this type of yogurt over any other because it won’t contain any sugar that the yeast can feed on and grow. You have a choice of either applying the yogurt directly to the area to alleviate the burning and itchy feeling or to consume it. Both of this will work on helping the body to fight the growth of the bacteria causing the infection by improving the level of good bacteria in your body.
