Home remedy for yeast infection – Looking for a way to treat your yeast infection with things you can do from the comfort (and privacy) of your home? Did you know that you can get some relief from the painful burning sensation of sores and blisters that someone with severe yeast infections may have? So, take a look around and pick up a few things from your fridge. Take the yogurt and lemon juice. Open your closet and get out some vinegar and olive oil. And let’s start with some home remedies for yeast fungal infection.
Yogurt as a home remedy for yeast infection
You can apply yogurt for a yeast infection by soaking a tampon in yogurt, inserting it into your vagina, and leaving it overnight. Lactobacillus acidophilus that is present in yogurt contains good bacteria that rebalances the pH of the vagina. Lower levels of acidity help reduce and eliminate the candida fungus. This remedy should be repeated every night until the symptoms disappear. Another remedy that includes yogurt is to create a douche solution with water and yogurt. Put the solution in a squeeze bottle and spray directly into and around the vaginal cavity.
Vinegar as a home remedy for yeast infection
Create a douche solution that contains a tablespoon of vinegar (you can also use apple cider vinegar if you have it on hand) per quart of water. Use this solution to shower once a day. You can also take a lukewarm bath where a cup of vinegar is added to the warm water to relieve any burning sensations or painful sores or lesions.
Lemon juice as a home remedy for yeast infection
One of the most effective remedies you can use to combat candida is lemon juice. Drink half a cup of lemon juice twice a day. However, be sure to rinse your mouth after each ‘drink’ to protect the acid from the lemon juice and damage the enamel on your teeth. Additionally, you can also create a lemon juice shower to help ease the yeast infection. The acid in lemon can naturally fight the growth of fungi and other bacteria in and around the vagina. Make sure the amount of lemon juice you added to the shower water doesn’t hurt too much. If you find that showering with the lemon solution is more painful, try diluting the solution as it can be a very effective treatment.
