Here are 8 natural remedies for yeast infections you can start right away:

1. Wear loose clothing, underpants and undergarments: Oxygen kills yeast, going commando and wearing nothing down there if possible is even better. Avoid any wearing any tight material, especially synthetic fiber based clothes.

2. Use some Yogurt: Get some unsweetened yogurt and rub it onto a tampon, insert the tampon and do this continually until the yeast infection is gone. Make sure to do this laying down to prevent dripping. This is possibly the easiest and most powerful of the natural remedies for yeast infections. There is a variation of natural yogurt known as Kefir, I highly recommend using this as the bacteria count in it is much high than normal unsweetened yogurt.

3. Cut out any and all yeast, alcohol and sugar from your diet: All three will promote the infection further, and make it virtually impossible to completely eliminate as these 3 things provide everything yeast need to overgrow inside your body. This isn’t so much a remedy as a precaution but a necessity if you want permanent relief from your yeast infections.

4. Drink 3 glasses of pure Cranberry juice per day: Make sure it is 100% pure, not from concentrate with zero added sugar. I know this goes against the no sugar thing but the acid content in the cranberries will alter the PH balance of your vagina and cause the yeast to die off.

5. Use Garlic: If you can tolerate it, use a raw garlic clove and apply it to the infection, this may burn so dilute it with some olive or coconut oil. Both oils can assist in eliminating the infection, especially the coconut oil which contains caprylic acid which can destroy yeast on contact.

6. Take B3: Supplementing 300mg of vitamin B3 also known as Niacin per day can in some instances reduce yeast infection severity by as much as 50%. This is one of the natural remedies I’m sure you haven’t seen before and it works!

7. Supplement Probiotics: The beneficial bacteria that you receive in yogurt can be taken in pill form and is usually at least 10 times more powerful than just eating yogurt. Take at least 100 billion worth of viable bacteria per day, many probiotics range from 10-50 billion, so ideally using the 50 billion twice per day is ideal. This will increase the amount of good bacteria in your body and give your body the ability to destroy the yeast much more quickly. Just fyi, acidophilus is a type of beneficial bacteria so if you find a 50 billion count acidophilus supplement that is exactly what you are looking for. A necessity in your arsenal of natural remedies for yeast infections.

8. Take an ACV bath: A great remedy for yeast infections is adding 2 cups of apple cider vinegar to a bath. The water should only be high enough to submerge the genital area. This will directly destroy the yeast and in many instances start providing relief to burning and itching. Stay in the tub for at least 20 minutes.

These are the most popular and in some cases unknown natural remedies for yeast infections, hopefully you give them a try before getting mixed up in drugs and risking making the problem much worse than it needs to be.
