Introduction
Instead of reaching for a costly over the counter medication; why not use a natural remedy for yeast infection instead? While OTC treatments are effective, natural products such as yogurt can alleviate the symptoms and treat the cause of the infection as well. By combining natural products and the tampons you already have, you can quickly get rid of the infection and save money while doing so. Natural remedies are also better for your body since they don't contain any harmful chemicals, just those provided by Mother Nature.


While a small amount of yeast does not cause a noticeable problem for their human post, an overgrowth of yeast causes infection on and in different parts of the body; skin, vagina, armpits, between toes and so on. Medical science has contrived many remedies for treating the yeast infection. But one can try a natural remedy for yeast infection if he or she feels like avoiding the side effects of allopathic medicine. Following are a few popular natural remedies for yeast infection in the vagina and other body parts.

Yogurt Tampons

The yeast-killing bacteria acidophilus is found in yogurt and hence yogurt serves as an effective natural remedy for yeast infection. Yogurt is beneficial both when eaten and also when used for dipping a tampon in, which is to be used twice daily.

Garlic Tampons

Wrap a freshly peeled garlic clove into cheesecloth. Use un-waxed dental floss to tie the piece into the cloth to make a tampon. Use this for several hours and then remove. In case the infection is serious, use twice daily until the symptoms are relieved.

Tea Tree Oil Tampons

Take a lubricated tampon and put a few drops of tea tree oil on it. Insert into the vagina for treating yeast infection.

Fresh Garlic

Chop fresh garlic to make a paste. This serves as natural remedy for yeast infection of body parts other than the vagina.

Boric Acid Capsules

Insertion of one to two boric acid capsules to be used overnight helps relieve symptoms of yeast infection.

Teabags

Place a wet teabag in the freezer and take out just when it is about to freeze. Dab it at the yeast-affected area to relieve the irritation.

Vinegar And Salt

Take a bath in lukewarm water after you have added half a cup vinegar and half cup of table salt to it. The itching caused by yeast infection will be relieved.

Grapefruit Seed Extract

Mix twenty drops of grapefruit seed extract into eight ounce of water. Douche the affected area with the mixture, which works as a natural remedy for yeast infection.

Cultured Buttermilk

Drink an eight-ounce glass of cultured buttermilk daily at night. You can hold you nose while drinking (if the cultures smell awful to you).

Olive Leaf And Grapefruit Seed

Take twice or three times a mixture of 15 drops of grapefruit seed extract in water (or juice, if you are tame before bitter taste) daily and the oil leaf extract twice daily. This combination is a useful natural remedy for yeast infection.
