It is very popular among the natural remedies' practitioner to suggest yogurt as a cure to yeast infection.
However, the question is, can yogurt really cure yeast infection? Well, basically speaking, yes.
However, there are stringent criteria that must be met to have the best results.
Here are some of the important things to note when choosing the correct yogurt to use:

• the yogurt that you are choosing must be sugar-free, plain without any coloring and fruits in it.
  
• make sure that the yogurt contains live cultures.
  These are good bacteria that will essentially eradicate the yeast fungus.
  
• read from the label to find the word "acidophilus".
  These are friendly bacteria, which combat the activities of invading micro-organisms and bad bacteria.
  Note that some plain yogurt never indicates this in the label but written only as "live cultures".
  If that is the case, it basically refers to this probiotics (good bacteria).
  

Now that explains why some people are not having success using yogurt as natural remedies to cure their yeast infection.
Okay, we are done on choosing the right yogurt to use.
Let's look at how to use yogurt as a cure to yeast infection the correct way.
You can simply add yogurt in your daily diet.
This is the best and safest way to reinstate the good bacteria in your body (your intestine, particularly).
A lot people do not aware that the root cause of a yeast infection usually located in the intestine.
The itching, burning and pain feeling is just symptoms of the infection.
That is why over-the-counter pills and creams can never cure the infection permanently because they all focus on the symptoms and not the cause.
The other method is to apply the yogurt directly on the infected area and leave it overnight.
Repeat the treatment over a week and observe the progress.
Usually, the infection will gradually subdue and disappear over time.
