Yeast Infection Home Remedy Using Tea Tree Oil
Tea Tree Oil can be used as a highly effective douche treatment against yeast infections. It is recommended that you purchase a small dropper bottle that can be used to store the solution.

Combine 1 teaspoon of Tea Tree Oil with 1 teaspoon of isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
Mix the solution, which should appear milky white.
Store the solution in the dropper bottle.
Add 10 drops of the solution to a pint of water.

Use this douche once a day for a week in order to rinse the vagina.
NOTE: Using Tea Tree Oil during pregnancy is not recommended. During pregnancy, it is best to consult with your doctor before using any treatment.

Natural Remedy for Yeast Infection With Yogurt
The active bacterial cultures in yogurt help to fight yeast, which is one of the main reasons why many people have found it to be effective at treating a yeast infection. In the case of vaginal infections, a simple remedy is to dip a tampon in plain, unsweetened yogurt, and insert the tampon into the vagina. Repeat this twice a day until symptoms disappear. For other types of yeast infections, applying yogurt directly onto the surface for 10 to 15 minutes each day works well.

If your infection persists for longer than a week, it is best to consult your doctor.

Garlic as a Natural Cure for Yeast Infection
Many people have found that garlic is wonderful at fighting yeast infections. Simply insert one garlic clove directly into the vagina, and repeat this every few hours for 2 days. You can also take garlic internally, either as tablets or by crushing a fresh garlic clove into a few small pieces and quickly swallowing the pieces with a glass of water.
