Yeast infection is not a very fatal condition.
However, it can become a serious problem and lead to some more serious consequences if you let it get out of hand.
Fortunately, there are many home remedies for this infection right in your own kitchen.
The simplest and perhaps the oddest of home remedies for yeast infection is the regular yogurt.
Regular, non-flavored, yogurt is rich in good bacteria that helps battle yeast and consequently stops yeast build-up.
You can eat these regularly to gain some of those good bacteria and fight off yeast and candida infections.
However, if you are looking for a more immediate effect like faster relief from itching and burning, you can actually use yogurt as a topical remedy.
Immerse a tampon in some plain yogurt and use it as an applicator.
Some simply wipe it around the vagina and others insert it there.
Be sure to take it out or wipe it off when you fell that the itching or burning has stopped or when the yogurt has gone completely warm.
Also, make sure that you only use plain yogurt, whether store-bought or homemade.
Another one of these home remedies for yeast infection is garlic.
You can up your intake of garlic by eating it regularly or garlic tabs.
Garlic is very effective against yeast infections because it is a organic antibiotic.
You can also use it as a topical remedy like yogurt.
Simply put a clove or tab into the vagina and it provides instant relief.
Be sure to wash up thoroughly afterwards.
