Which Home Remedies Can Cure your Yeast Infection

Your yeast infection can range from mild to severe, or anywhere in between. There are different home remedies for yeast infections that are ideal for each situation, and it is healthiest and safest to use only the strength of home remedy that you need, so the infection can be cured, but nothing stronger. Just because a yeast infection remedy is natural and holistic does not mean it cannot be harmful if you use it improperly.

Yet used correctly, home remedies can save you money on your next yeast infection!

Home Remedies for Weak Yeast Infections 

For those whose yeast infection has just begun, or is only a little bothersome

The easiest, most hands-off home remedy for yeast infections is found in cranberries. These tart berries raise the pH of your urine, which will kill your yeast infection as you urinate.

So the magic is not really in drinking or eating the cranberries themselves, but rather the effect they have on your digestive system.

Cranberries are best imbibed in pure, unsweetened cranberry juice (NOT fruit cocktails), but natural cranberry juice blends will work if you can't stand the tartness of pure cranberry juice.

You can also eat the berries (as many as you can stand), or swallow cranberry pills throughout the infection and a few days past. Check the back of the pill bottle to see how many you can safely take on a daily basis.

Other Home Remedies for Mild Yeast Infections 

Can't stand the cranberry cure? Read on.

A slightly more powerful, but still very simple and easy yeast infection remedy is eating lots of yogurt, which produces the same bacteria that healthy bodies do to control the amount of yeast in your genital region.

You will want it to be as all-natural and plain as possible for the best results. Make sure it has live cultures in it (it will say somewhere on the carton if it does), or it won't help you at all.

If eating all the yogurt isn't curing your yeast infection fast enough to suit you, you can also insert it directly into your vagina as you would a tampon.

You can use a needle-less syringe or an empty tampon applicator to accomplish this. The live bacteria in the yogurt will kill significant amounts of yeast as it slides back out of you.

Home Remedies for Moderate Yeast Infections 

For those who have a full-blown, but not severe, yeast infection

Garlic may be the answer for those with stronger cases of yeast infection. This root has chemical properties that kill off yeast very effectively.

Make sure that you aren't allergic before trying this remedy, as it can cause severe allergic reactions, and peel off the outer layers without cutting into the interior layers. Cuts in the interior may leak out garlic juice that can irritate an inflamed genital region even more.

You'll probably want to wrap string or floss around the garlic clove to be able to remove it quickly and easily, and probably thin cloth or gauze to make it a little less uncomfortable to insert. Insert it as you would a tampon, and leave it in for at least a couple of hours, and preferably overnight.

A Permanent Home Remedy for Yeast Infection
