We gathered some information through research of Dr. Axe who suggested the best way to explain about Yeast Infection.You will get total information about home remedies for yeast infection.
Mushroom is a type of yeast or fungi (favorite food of many people) which are not actually a plant but uniquely make their own food by themselves within the body they live in. Vaginal Yeast Infection is the overgrowth fungus which is named earlier as Candida Albicans. Amongst all types of yeast infections vaginal infection is the frequent one.
Symptoms of yeast infection:
The areas which are usually damp are most likely to develop yeast infection. Vaginal area is also the place which remains in the fold and causes the infection. Symptoms are very easy to find out
- Itching is the main symptoms which is very irritating.
- Few bits of Bleeding is seen sometimes
- Vaginal white discharge which is thick and clumpy looking.

- Redness and inflammation is one common issue whenever you are having yeast infection.
If the symptoms are not treated timely it can lead to any other infection in the other parts of body. Yeast infections are quite disturbing as it can create you daily life a bit disturbing one.
Home remedies for Yeast Infection:
There are lot of home remedies is available for yeast infection but all are not equally important. Some of the home remedies really work in yeast infection. After analysis I will suggest some home remedies that really work in yeast infection.
Tea Tree oil:
It’s a popular home remedies for yeast infection. Tea tree oil have antiseptic and anti fungal properties. It will reduce the number of Candida fungus. Before using tea tree oil first you have to make this dilute. First mix few drops of tea tree oil with water. Now take a tampon and dip it into the solution. Now gently insert the tampon directly into the vaginal area. If you feel a bit of awkward in inserting tampon then you should stop using it because the feeling of not using it can give you an urge to make mistake.
Yogurt:
Yogurt contains Lactobacillus acidophilus which is a user friendly bacteria helps to fight against the yeast contagion. Plain yogurt with nothing added is preferable. Inserting whole tablespoon of yogurt sounds discomfited for me. Even this process can lead to any other problem. The easiest way is to dip the tampon in the yogurt and insert it into your vagina. If tampon process is irritating for you then you can also place some yogurt in a small tub and sit in it. Application of yogurt externally on the vaginal area can also fight against yeast infection. If other parts of your body are affected by yeast infection then you can easily apply yogurt like other methods. Include yogurt in your daily diet list to avoid yeast infection.
Apple Cider Vinegar:
Apple cider vinegar has anti inflammatory and anti fungal substance which helps in case you are affected by any fungal diseases. Several ways are found to apply apple cider vinegar. First method is to take a hot bath. Pour some ACV in the bath tub and soak yourself on the bath tub for about 30 to 40 minutes. In this way, you can easily get relief if your yeast infection comes with irritation.
Another method is that, in a mug take few tablespoons of ACV into the water and pour it onto the vaginal area which will give you ultimate relief if you are facing irritation. Some people suggest drinking ACV, diluting with water but basically the taste of ACV is not welcoming for many a more people. In case you want to add ACV in your diet you can drink one cup warm water and one tablespoon of ACV mixture to avoid fungi issues in your body. The use of ACV gave much affirmative result and people get benefit from using this. Each day try to use ACV to cure the problem fast.
Oregano Oil:
Oregano oil showed both kinds of result in one survey. It showed positive result for yeast infection and also showed negative result by increasing irritation onto the affected areas. If you want to avoid irritation firstly try diluting oregano oil with water or olive oil. Mixing of the three ingredients can also reduce the irritation which can occur for oregano oil. Apply the mixture on the yeast infected area.
Boric Acid:
This is the final issue that we think works best if the aforesaid methods are an irritant matter for you. Some home remedies can lead to Candida Glabarta which is kind of fungus like Candida Albicans. This is one self treated remedy which you can use at home. Boric acid suppository is one effective remedy which can be found through prescription. The process is quite easy; just insert one boric acid capsule in your vaginal area before going to sleep. You can cure yourself just within 5 weeks of using boric acid capsule.
Obviously bear in mind if you are pregnant never ever use Boric acid as will do harm to your baby.
Prevention is better than cure:
You can prevent yeast infection by following some easy steps.
- Maintain proper personal hygiene. This is the most important thing if you needed to be taken care of properly.
- Take a bath regularly. And use mild unscented soap. Feminine products use harsh chemical and it can lead to any other problem.
- Try to keep the vaginal area dry and clean. Wet area is the birthplace of any fungus. So, obviously try to keep your vaginal area clean and pat it dry after shower or urinate.
- Don’t use the under wear that makes the vaginal area wet.
- Try to avoid tight cloths. It can increase your body temperature. This temperature is a simulator factor for fungal growth.
- Always use clean, soft and dry towel.
- During menstruation change your pads frequently.
- Try to use cotton underwear if you are facing yeast infection problem. Cotton underwear gives relief.
If you think your situation is worsening then try to consult with your doctor. Your doctor will provide prescription which can give cure which rate is almost 90%.
I think it’s a problem which irritates you a lot. You can try any of method which I have mentioned earlier.
