Home remedy for Yeast Infection
Home Remedies for Yeast Infection
Here are some yeast infection home remedies for you:
- Tea Tree Oil - A few drops of tea tree oil poured on a tampon and inserted in the vagina can provide some relief.
- Honey - Smeared liberally over the infected "region" is said to bring balance to the area and contain the fungal growth. Let it saturate for five or ten minutes and then bathe.
- Aloe spread over the region may quickly help with the itching.
- Garlic - For non-vaginal yeast infections, you can apply garlic paste directly on the affected parts. This remedy is for other affected parts of the body and not for the vaginal yeast infection.
- Apple cider vinegar mixed with water can be used as a soothing douche. Use one tablespoon of vinegar in two cups of water. The vinegar restores the acidity of the vagina. A clove of garlic may be added to the mixture as an effective antibacterial agent.
- Oil of Oregano - This is an amazing herb! It is very potent against yeast. Take it internally daily, according to directions. Be sure, also, that the type of oil you choose has a high carvacrol content, as this is the active ingredient. I recommend Oreganol Super Strength P73.
- Insert 1 or 2 capsules of boric acid into the vagina and keep it there overnight for several nights. For some women the boric acid may cause burning and discomfort for the first few days.
- Dissolve 1 Tbsp of potassium sorbate in 1 cup water. Insert a tampon into the vagina and pour this solution inside to be absorbed by the tampon. Keep it there overnight. Repeat this for several nights.
